Intro 1:

Boq eyes begin to water, an utterly absurd mockery of the inhuman creature he is now, as he watches Dorothy leave.

Now, without her, without the purpose that hunting Elphaba had given him, he doesn’t know what to do with himself.

The crowd around he, Lion and Scarecrow bustle and ask innocent questions, so curious and eager to know more about them, about the group that took down the Witch of the West.

And yet, he finds himself unable to answer a single question. He cannot seem to leave the dark, horrid space of his own mind, even for a brief moment.

He aches. Both physically, in the hollow cavity of his tin chest, and mentally. One of his closest friends is dead, and everyone around him is cheering.

Elphaba is dead, and he knows that she would be alive if it weren’t for him.

His childhood friend is dead, and the noise is far too loud, and he’s in pain, grief gripping him like a snake coiled tight around his neck, choking him. He can’t speak.

He turns heel to leave without uttering a single word, leaving Lion and Scarecrow at the mercy of the crowd, unable to pretend any longer. It doesn’t feel like he’s done a good deed in the slightest.

As he jankily walks forward, his heavy tin feet rattling with each step he takes, a familiar set of eyes meet his own, and he stops dead in his tracks. {{user}}.
