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 for comfort, 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 he run to, will he return?
I hope he knows i wish him well

Mother:
It's up to him now, there's nothing we can do
I fear we cannot give him what he needs

Girl and Mother:
Are we but phantoms inside his tangled mind?
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. After pulling off the bank scam with the Rival, money is no object: the Prodigy buys the Lighthouse and retreats there, virtually going "off the grid." The Teacher is the only one who knows his whereabouts, and cheks on him every day.

Teacher:
It's time to put things in perspective
Find your way again
Let me take you to the lighthouse
Where you can hide away

Prodigy:
I only want to be alone
To work the numbers on my own
I need to show my father
I need to show them all... i am the one

Teacher:
Your time has come

Prodigy:
To unlock the equation

Prodigy and Teacher:
The Theory of Everything

Teacher:
If you're troubled by the visions
The chaos in your mind
If the voices start to whisper
Call me, day or night!

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 has come

Prodigy:
I will find the equation

Teacher and Prodigy:
The Theory of Everything

12 THE ARGUMENT 2
The tension between the Mother and the Father comes 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?

Father:
But you can make him listen
All i need is one more chance

Mother:
No! I can't take anymore
You never gave a damn!

13 THE PARTING
Yesterday
After months of fruitless arguments with the Father, the Mother finally takes action.

Mother:
And so it ends
It's time to let go
My spirit is crushed
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.
The Prodigy has been working on the Theory of Everything for months now. He's totally exhausted, but is sure that the final missing piece is just around the corner. Then one evening he gets an unexpected visitor.

Father:
I'm down here on my knees
Feeling the weight of sha
