018. Alone

Glinda had become Glinda the Good, the ruler of Oz. At least, she had for a short time. She had led the country away from poverty and ruin. The Ozians loved her. She was Glinda the Good; in their eyes she could do no wrong.
But no one knew how much it cost her to live on without Elphaba. Sometimes she thought that she, she, was the wicked one for not clearing Elphie's name, for not declaring the Witch of the West innocent.

"Goodness knows, the Wicked die alone."

Glinda was loved by everyone.

She died alone.
