Phase IV: Unification 10 MIRROR OF DREAMS 3 months ago The Girl has not seen the Prodigy since she told him to leave. She reaches out to his Mother [bad word] wondering if there wasn't more she could have done. Girl: I feel his shadow looming over me Leaving me defeated and confused Hies eyes still haunt me, if only i'd done more Maybe i gave up on him too soon... Mather: I share your sorrow, but we are not to blame His heart has always been a mystery Girl and Mother: We'll never fathom, we'll never understand Did he ever need us, were we real Or mere reflections in a mirror of dreams? Girl: What holds his future, how will he survive? Without us to save him from himself Where has [bad word] to, will he return?

Will he ever need us, are we real... Or mere reflections in a mirror of dreams? 11 THE LIGHTHOUSE After being rejected by the Girl, the Prodigy turns to his onle friend, the Teacher. The Prodigy needs a safe place where he can work on the Theory of Everything and take time to sort himself out. The Teacher knows of the perfect place - there's an old renovated lighthouse for sale.

The Teacher is the only one who knows his whereabouts, and cheks on him every day.

Prodigy: Don't worry, i'll be fine Teacher: Don't underestimate the danger Prodigy: I'm gonna make the theory shine Teacher: You'll regret it sooner or later Prodigy: I need to show my father I need to show them all... I am the one Teacher: Our time [bad word] Prodigy: I will find the equation Teacher and Prodigy: The Theory of Everything 12 THE ARGUMENT 2 The tension between the Mother and the [bad word] to a head. Father: Without him it's all over We've got to bring him home again Mother: He doesn't want to see you Can't you get that through your head?

I can't take anymore You never gave a [bad word] 13 THE PARTING Yesterday After months of [bad word] arguments with the Father, the Mother finally takes action. Mother: And so it ends It's time to let go My spirit is [bad word] Forsaken and cold I'm leaving you No tears left to cry You'll never change I've makde up my mind This is goodbye Father: So this is the end How can i go on? My dreams unfulfilled And now i'm alone I let them down I pushed them away No reason to live I'm ending this pain There's no other way Only one thing left to do... 14 THE VISITATION Last night.
