    This doesn’t strike me as a happy ending for anyone… Whole story is sad mixed with wish-fulfillment, which in my mind makes it even sadder because whatever supernatural shit is going on never happened and would have never happened…

      Happily (?) this is a flashback; Granny here is telling the story to the person that the rescued baby will eventually become.

      Of course, it doesn’t exactly turn out how the mother might have imagined.

      This story arc begins here.
