    Sorry, I’m a bit dense.

    Is it sad because his mom is dying and he put the necklace on her anyway?

    Or that the necklace will allow her to pass away due to her poor health vs. suffering?

      The wearer will die in seven days, he’s trying to get more time with her

        My dad almost died of a massive heart attack 5 years ago. It was bad enough that we agreed to a NDA DNR after his 4th crash in the ICU. We joke that he heard us talking and said “screw that” because he didn’t crash again and made a recovery.

        He’s now in the final stages of renal failure, and every extra day we got these last 5 years has been precious.

        If you have family you love, go give them a hug. They won’t be around forever, even if it feels like it sometimes

        *edit: DNR, I’m dumb

          And to add my own experience; if you have family you despise, don’t worry. They’ll outlive the heat death of the universe.

            Truth. Coworkers too. The good die young and assholes live forever.

          Did you mean a DNR? Or if NDA is correct, what does it stand for in this context?

      My first reading was fucked up, and that the kid is the cause of the death by giving her the necklace.

      What’s really going on is the necklace makes them die in 7 days. They had less than 1, so the necklace will actually keep them alive longer.

      Boy and Mum, tears are bittersweet because they have 7 days to express a lifetime of love, but she will then die. Witch is either sad because curse is foiled, or she’s got a heart and is affected by what the boy did for his mum.
