What if your fate was meant to be good all along and you went and changed it, never realizing it? You're promised to change fate, and that sounds good, but what if it was something that shouldn't be touched?

. . . I guess the way someone explained it to me was the jewel took the deepest desire of your heart and made it possible. But somewhere in the middle of all that, it twists, because you can't control fate. It will always twist somewhere you don't expect.

Back at home, being able to do something about this person could have been a good thing. My father has spent years of his life trying to catch him and make him pay for his crimes. It meant I didn't get to see him much. I was angry -- so angry. So I had this wish.

I couldn't know I'd like the power that much -- or how far it would go. But still . . . it's my fault for having the wish in the first place. For being that naive. For not realizing what I could do.

[Her nose wrinkles sharply, but the derisiveness is aimed at the thought of making another wish, not Ahiru.]

You think after all that I'd go make another wish?
