  Summary

  It's been weeks since he found out his closest friends had been turned to stone, and Gold was determined to find a cure.

  But between loosing himself to research, remaining friends struggling to cope and help in their own ways, and old faces showing back up to ruin everything, would it even matter in the end?

  Or will everyone end up on the other side as somebody else?
