We are all fools sometimes, child, yet a wise woman learns to limit how often.

Have you ever considered cutting your hair short? No matter. Off with you.
You never escape the traps you spin yourself. Only a greater power can break a power, and then you're trapped again. Trapped forever so you cannot die.
