So this is obviously supposed to be the finale for Act 1, as evidenced by the title "Act 1 FINALE." This takes place back on the streets where she's sitting by the wall. Because it's so cold out and she's been out all night with nowhere to go, no money, no shoes, and only a bundle of matches, and it's getting close to dawn at this point, she's just about frozen to death. Enter Kai, who, after she ran away, realized he was in love with her and had to go find her. He finally sees her on the streets of New York literally moments before she passes out from cold. In this scene, Jane sings a verse, then Kai sings a verse, and then there's a dance break where, while Kai holds Jane by the wall, silhouetted dancers will come in on the street behind them, one male and one female, representing the couple. Then the couple does their last verse, which is actually their verses layered on top of each other (they're written to fit together), and at the very end, Jane passes out, the female dancer disappears, and we see a shooting star before the blackout.
Character(s): Jane and Kai
Favorite line: "What is heaven if there is no earth?"
Hardest line to write: "Please don't leave me here, love/ Not without your smile/ Don't leave me alone, dear/ Without you, I would die"
Why: This verse wasn't in the original lyrics. I wrote it later so that Kai didn't have to repeat his last verse. It still feels really awkward to me, but it makes sense in the song, so I guess I'll leave it in...
