And yet, beneath all that difference, it’s still her Fever and the fears she had kept hidden never needed to be thought of in the first place. She’s here, she’s free for the first time in her life, free to finally feel what she wants to feel, to explore everything life has to offer her without the violent intrusive thoughts. Without the headache. Without worrying she will hurt those she cares about.

As happy as this all makes her, she still remembers the feeling of him trying to tear Fever away from her. Well, not just from her, but from life, from Pumpkin Hollow, from everyone who loves her.

She’ll need to thank Mortanne.

“You can do anything you want to do. That’s what being free means.”
