[A story that never changes is a notion that feels like a chokehold. Not his intention whatsoever, but her shoulders do hitch some.]
It depends. It's quite complicated and there's a lot I don't understand myself. But the power to change stories has almost always been in the hands of the ones writing them. Not the people in it. Even if we're living, we're bound by...well.
[She waggles her hand.]
I don't know if it all started because one person became aware of what they really were, or if the potential to act on our own has always been there? I knew things had gone wrong in my story, but until Cinderella met with me in the space between I didn't have any idea what I really was. Or how many times I've lived that story.
Which is a lot. [She nods, assertive but grim.] It's been told many times, and it hasn't been until now that I've had any real say in how it goes.
