[It was awful. Varian had never felt so desperately alone in his entire life. He'd been lonely, yes, always lonely, but never alone. The rug had been pulled out from under him and nothing got any better.]
I thought I'd try the original source of Rapunzel's powers: the sundrop flower. I thought maybe it might still have some magic left in it? I...uh I created a truth serum and drugged the guards with it to find out where the flower was being kept- 'cause the king had hidden it away.
[He rubs the back of his neck.]
I convinced Rapunzel to help me get in. She- she knew it was treason to help me, but I convinced her I wanted to help the Kingdom. Once we got to the flower, I stole it and left her to take the fall. I- it didn't even work- the flower, I mean. All the power was in her, but I'd pretty much obliterated my bridges so I knew I had to do something more drastic to get her to help me.
