Nicely written. And I do hope that something similar went through Emma's mind. I understand that a mother would sell her soul to save her child but Emma has seen first hand what it means to hurt a child and she should have looked for another way. Or at least shown regret for the way she handled the situation. I don't know about you but I feel like Emma is regressing. That she's getting darker with time instead of the opposite. Remember how she wanted to held Hensel and Gretel to find their dad? Thank you for sharing.

Heartbreaking - like the show has become. I wish you wrote for the show because then this plot twist wouldn't have happened (or any of the bad plot twists leading up to it). At least you managed to take a severely out-of-character moment and turn Emma's introspection in-character. THAT sounded like the Emma we all knew and loved.

Good job.
