you're in way over your head. tears stung your eyes watching the scene you'd gotten yourself into. everyone wanted you to kill some woman. some weird witch who was after you because of some shoes? it doesn't matter, you found solace in your new friends. a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion. a talking lion who was very kind and gentle. and scared of everything.

but you felt a bit of that solace slipping away watching the scene before you.

"It's due to her I'm made of tin, her spell made this occur. So for once, I'm glad I'm heartless. I'll be heartless killing her!"

the scarecrow grabbed your hand tighter, knowing how scared you were just by your demeanor. everyone kept singing and yelling at you, and the fear just kept building in you. you honestly started dissociating halfway through. but on your way out of the crowded town square, a random munchkin grabbed your shoulder.

"MELT HER!!"

they undoubtedly had good intentions, not meaning to scare you. scarecrow shoved the munchkin off, who didn't even notice anything was wrong. as you walked out, turning a corner, tin man just turned to you excitedly, unaware.

"how about that, dorothy?!"

cue the shock on his face when you proceeded to burst into tears.

he... may or may not have forgotten that you were just a child.
