Faba inspired me x3
036. Friend
Elphaba had never embraced friendship as a child. Named as a devil by her father and almost as a slave to her sister, she felt she could not worsen her life by being spurned by prospective friends. She kept well away from other people as much as she could, befriending only Animals.
And it was on one such day that she found a small injured spider in the corner of her bedroom. Instead of screaming as her sister would, she picked it up and carefully bound its injured leg with thread, in attempt to splint it.
Although the spider was not a Spider and could not talk, it stared at her, and they shared their thoughts.
"Yes," she whispered. "I am alone, just like you."
You are my only friend, little one.
