But our tale is nowhere near done. Why did Mr. Stanley start the fire?
At Sarah's trial...
Unfortunately, what has already happened cannot be changed!
And, you can put curses on people--curses that actually come true--if you're not a witch? Is this a "deathbed" only thing? Or can you do it any time? To anyone? Only in response to injustice? I'm so confused.
Or maybe she really is a witch?
Whatever the rules, it doesn't matter, because you can't change history. So there's nothing Kid can do.
Or is there?
Don't forget, Keeper is 2 billion years old, so he's already lived through this era. And he finally remembers something big that is about to happen:
And in an improbably fast legal proceeding...
Say, couldn't Kid have summoned the dead Sarah Abel to meet Stanley and lift the curse? Or can only living people lift curses?
Still, this was quite a touching story of forgiveness.
