[Rapunzel is shown sitting on her bed, book propped up to show her cross legged and toying with her long, blond hair.]
 
Have any of you ever had something that bound you? That..just…kept you somewhere? Your entire life?
 
And then when you finally get away, when you think you’re free, you realize that you still aren’t free, because you have that one thing that still holds you in place?
 
[She looks up at her journal, eyes a little wet.]
 
There comes a day when you know that it’s time to really be free.
 
[She’s been at the Keep a year, today.
 
And now…now because of that truth, because of flashes of real memories she’s had since, she knows the truth. She knows everything.
 
And she knows what she has to do.]
 
Today is that day.
 
[She gets up, and shuts the book.]

[Yes.

Kloe understands completely.

She's also really concerned because she has no idea what Rapunzel is talking about.]

[Well he's instantly worried now.]

[70ftandcounting]

I'm eighteen.

[Blink.]

In my room?

WOOP

[abstinentzombie]

I'm coming by.

[70ftandcounting]

[a few moments, then--]

Alright.

[abstinentzombie]

[And ten minutes later Kloe's knocking on her door.]

Open up.

[70ftandcounting]

[There's a shuffle, then--]

It's open.

[abstinentzombie]

[She pulls open the door and steps insides, two bottles in her hands.]

I brought a present.

[70ftandcounting]

[Rapunzel isn't facing Kloe. She's standing in the middle of her room, back to the door, still clutching the remains of her long hair, now brown.]

What is it?

[abstinentzombie]

[And Kloe just. Stops. Because woah is that really you, Rapunzel?]

You did that just now?

[70ftandcounting]

A few minutes ago.

[abstinentzombie]

[...Jeez.

Kloe sets the bottles down and steps over.]

We should clean this up, or you'll end up finding random hair for weeks.

[70ftandcounting]

The bonfire.

[She looks down at what she's holding.]

Help me get it to the bonfire?

[drinkuntilidie]

Sweetheart, you'll have to try harder to convince me of that.
