Summary
It was wishful thinking. It had to be the truth. Glinda may not know much but she knew performance, and the more she thought about it the better it fit. Elphaba’s death didn’t make sense. Glinda had seen it with her own eyes and had stupidly believed that was proof it had happened.
Elphaba’s melting shadow had been wearing the hat. Glinda wasn’t sure of the scientification of melting, but surely either all or none of her clothes should have melted. Surely Elphaba herself shouldn’t have melted. Fiyero’s body was missing, and Elphaba’s hat was in her hands.
Glinda stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she realized she must have been crying. She looked crazy. It didn’t matter.
Elphaba was alive.

Summary
Oz needs its ruler.
The Wasteland needs a flower.
--------------------------
Glinda does not know when she fell pathetically, incurably, disastrously in love with Elphaba Thropp. She knew, twisting in her sheets at night that first day in Shiz, hot, there was a pulse, no small, infinitesimal stirring of feeling; burning. Some unknown plunge from the ice bath into a volcano.
