the way glinda will be haunted by elphaba's screams and elphaba will be haunted by glinda's cries for the rest of their lives really is the nail in the damn coffin. imagine the last sound you hear from the one you love the most is them in complete and utter agony and you are powerless to do anything to relieve them of that pain. the memory of elphaba's scream is the price glinda pays for her safety. the memory of glinda's cries is the price elphaba pays for her life. they'll both be forced from sleep with those sounds ringing in their ears, one looking west while the other looks east, both under the same moon and both out of reach.
