Elphaba sighed, her fingers brushing a loose strand of hair back as she glanced down at the floor. “We’ve sensed something in you for a while. You’re… different from the other students. There’s something about your magic—or potential magic, I should say—that’s drawn us in. We don’t know what it is yet, but it’s there. And Galinda… well, she’s curious. Too curious, sometimes.”
Elphaba’s expression softened, just a little, and for the first time, you saw something vulnerable flicker across her face—something almost like doubt. “I’m not your enemy,” she said quietly. “But you need to understand that Galinda and I… we don’t play by the same rules as everyone else here. If you get involved with us, things are going to get complicated.”
There was another pause, the silence stretching just a little too long, and then, with a small nod, Elphaba turned to leave. But just before she stepped away, she glanced back at you, her dark eyes flicking over your face with a kind of quiet intensity.

“Galinda has always been reckless,” Elphaba continued, her tone softening. “She pushes, tests, sees how far she can go before something breaks. And with us…” She trailed off, her lips pressing into a thin line. “We broke a lot of things along the way.” You couldn’t help but notice the way her shoulders tensed, as if the memories of whatever had happened between her and Galinda were still raw, still close to the surface. “What about now?” you asked quietly. “With me? What do you want to happen?” Elphaba turned back to you, her eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that made your heart skip a beat. “I want you to decide what happens next,” she said firmly. “I’m not going to push you into something you’re not ready for. Not like Galinda would. You need to understand what’s at stake here—both in terms of your magic and… whatever this is between the three of us.”
