[Luz was taking that moment to remember something she had learned a long time ago: you never left your world unimpacted. You always took a bit with you, whether it was physical, emotional, or mental, and most of the time it was all of them. With Snow White, Luz partly realized she couldn't get over how much had been done to her by that stepmother, and Snow was still so sweet and gentle. Knowing now that the apple, the thing that killed her, was still there, looming, seemed too cruel for Luz to understand, that Snow would have to still have it as a reminder of what happened to her].

I should have figured you wouldn't want anyone else to stumble on it. We can all technically come back as squid things but dying is not something anyone wants to happen more than once.

[And while she didn't say it aloud, she was thinking it: they BOTH knew that the hard way].

Out of curiosity, how many people know about the apple still being a thing?
