Quote: She’s me. Just, more of me.
There’s some Lantern history that Hermione wants to confirm with Hal, so it’s off to Coast City. Except he’s out. And someone else is in. A star becomes bright, wishes are examined, and maybe sometimes dreams do come true. Oh, and a charming prince arrives with treasure.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
