Once upon a time, there was a little darling damsel, whom everybody loved that looked upon her, but her old granny loved her best of all, and didn’t know what to give the dear child for love. Once she made her a hood of red samite, and since that became her so well, and she, too, would wear nothing else on her head, people gave her the name of “Red Hood.”

You have to trust me, Regina. I know best. Love is weakness, Regina. It feels real now. At the start, it always does. But it’s an illusion. It fades, and then you’re left with nothing.
