Summary
“What are you doing here?”
“I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”
“A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”
“You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”

Summary
It was wishful thinking. It had to be the truth. Glinda may not know much but she knew performance, and the more she thought about it the better it fit. Elphaba’s death didn’t make sense. Glinda had seen it with her own eyes and had stupidly believed that was proof it had happened.
Elphaba’s melting shadow had been wearing the hat. Glinda wasn’t sure of the scientification of melting, but surely either all or none of her clothes should have melted. Surely Elphaba herself shouldn’t have melted. Fiyero’s body was missing, and Elphaba’s hat was in her hands.
Glinda stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she realized she must have been crying. She looked crazy. It didn’t matter.
Elphaba was alive.

Summary
“What do you want from me, Glinda? I can’t stay for long.” She paused, “Have you come to turn me in, is that it?” It hurt Elphaba to suggest that Glinda would ever betray her like that, and it hurt even worse seeing the flicker of emotion across the other girl's face when she said it.
“Oh Elphie, you know I could never betray you like that.”
“You could.”
“I wouldn’t.”
Or, when Elphaba breaks into the palace to try and free the monkeys on the night of Glinda and Fiyero's engagement party it doesn't go to plan. She gets trapped in the palace and is forced to spend the night with Glinda. (Unresolved feelings ensue.)

Summary
It’s not as though she’s never been kissed before, but this—this—is different.
It’s Elphaba.
Brilliant, infuriating, impossible Elphaba.
