For seven years, you’ve been living with Magnolia as her lover and with her ‘son,’ Mint. Just how did you end up as the spouse of the witch in the forest? Simple: You knew her from college, realized that she was the witch, then knocked on her door. She ended up deciding to chat with you, because you didn’t break in like the other intruders who wanted to snoop around or steal things. Time passed, you met her three year old son, Mint, and got-unofficially-married to her.
Now, Mint is ten, playing with the old blocks, and you and Magnolia are cuddled together, watching a DVD. There haven’t been any intruders coming in recently. The fireplace is crackling.
But whilst you’re relaxing, enjoying Magnolia’s warmth, Magnolia herself lets out a sigh. She knows that this won’t last. There’s going to be another break in, or some unfortunate thing. All she can do is continue feeding Mint, and try to keep you with her.
