Cruz, Jackson, and Rise take a tour of the kingdom outside of it. "Cruz..." Jackson asked Cruz.
"Hm...?" Cruz responded to Jackson. "Well... your friends, it was really cool..." Cruz rejoices when he says that. "Thank you, Jackson." Jackson sighs and tells Cruz and Rise his past.
Jackson: Hey guys... Actually, I've been alone since birth.
Cruz: What?
Rise: Really?
Jackson: Yeah... When I was young my mother told me not to play with kids outside...
Jackson (kid): Mother, can I play with the kids out there?
Leila: You want to play with the kids at outside? Oh, Jackson.... You can't go out...
Still a little sapling, just a sprout...
You know why you can't go outside?
Jackson: Yeah, but-
Leila: That's right, to keep you safe
and sound, dear.
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet...
Jackson: But-
Leila: Shh! Trust me, my teddy bear.
Mother, knows best.
(Spit the wall)
(Window closed)
Mother knows best
listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Jackson: Ah! (surprised)
(The string pulls Jackson tied up.)
Mother knows best
One way or another, something will go wrong, I swear
Jackson: (surprise)
Ruffians, thugs,
Jackson: (Surprise ×2)
poison Ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snake, the plauge
Jackson: No!
Leila: Yes!
Also large bugs, men with pointy teeth
And stop, no more, you'll just upset me!
(Jackson covers the blanket with fear)
Mother's right here, mother will protect you
(hug)
Darling here's what I suggest
(Jackson surprised, when he turned into a mannequin)
Skip the drama, stay with Mama
Mother, knows best
(laugh)
(Candle off)
(Jackson lighted candle)
Mother knows best
(She turn off the candle's lights, for her tires)
Take it from your mumsey

On your own, you won't survive
(Jackson looked around in the mirror)
Sloppy undressed,
Jackson: (surprise)
immature,
(Shy Face Red Jackson)
clumsy
(Jackson fell when Leila pulled the carpet)
Jackson: Ah! (Surprise)
(Leila turns Jackson over the carpet she pulled earlier)
Please, they'll eat you up, alive
Gullible, naive
(Jackson turns when the horse pulls the carpet fast)
positively grubby
(Dizzy Jackson)
Ditzy and a bit, well hmm... vague
( Leila raised Jackson's chin )
Plus I believe,
getting kinda chubby
(Tap Jackson's chin)
I'm just saying 'cause I love you
(Hugging Jackson with her face in a tire)
(Leila went somewhere suddenly)
Mother understands,
(Suddenly darkened)
Jackson: Ahh!(suprised)(scared)
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
(Leila illuminated spotlight)
Jackson sighs and approaches Leila and hugs
Leila: Storm...?
Jackson: Yes?
Leila: Don't ever ask to leave this mansion, again.
Jackson: Yes, mother...
Leila: Ah... I love you ver much, dear.
Jackson: I love you more...
Leila: I love you most.
(Leila Kisses Jackson Forehead)
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best.
Jackson: ... (sad face)
Leila: Keep your house and listen to the housekeeper!
(Jackson enters the room)
(Jackson watching kids play in the window)
(Close your eyes and close the window.)
Jackson: That's what happened...
When Jackson says it, Cruz and Rise understand how lonely Jackson is.
"Whoa..." Rise makes a sad face and resonates. And Cruz talked to Jackson.
"Jackson, I fully understand your mind. But, when you think about the passing past, you're rather stumbling. So the past is the past. If you forget and find your own true happiness, miracles will happen in your future. Might not know... "Cruz comforts Jackson. Listening to Rise, Jackson and Cruz smile.
Jackson: Yeah... You're right. As Lightning told me, He told 'you to forget the past and find a true future.' So, I won't give up!

Cruz: Yeah! if you leave it like this... your face will be... (laughs)
Jackson: What do you say? (Embarrassment)
Everyone: (laughs)

[
(Let's see the light that, Cruz sheds in the sea.)
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking
(The ship moves as the Cruz moves)
(Jackson and Rise fall out of balance)
(Cruz sees where the light comes from)
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
(Cruz amazed at the rise of lanterns)
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
(The impressed cruise sees the lights dancing)
(Rise is beautiful,and open his eyes glow.)
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
(Cruz come nervous)
All that once everything looks different
(Cruz looking back after shining from behind)
Now that I see you
(Jackson with 2 Lanterns)
(Pleasant Cruz)
Cruz: Jackson...?
Jackson: Hm...?
Cruz: Actually I... I like you...
Jackson: What...? (Embarrassed)
Cruz: It was actually a little scary... But, I'm not scared anymore... Do you know what I mean?
Jackson: I think I know...
Cruz: (smile)
(They put lights together at the same time)
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
(Jackson looks at the lantern and sees the Cruz)
Now she's here shining in the starlight
(Cruz raises again when the light comes down.)
Now she's here suddenly I know
(Cruz sees Jackson)
If she's here it's crystal clear
(Jackson gives Cruz a warm smile)
(Jackson is next to the Cruz.)
I'm where I'm meant to go
(Just noticed Jackson loves Cruz.)
[ Cruz & Jackson ]
And at last I see the light
[ Jackson ]
And it's like the fog has lifted
[ Cruz & Jackson ]
And at last I see the light
[ Cruz ]
And it's like the sky is new
[ Cruz & Jackson ]
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
(The lanterns that Cruz and Jackson put together dance together.)
All that once everything is different
Now that I see you
(They smiles while looking at each other.)
(And Rise suddenly closes his eyes, but curiously only one eye opens.)
Now that I see you
(I know each other when I finish singing)
Cruz and Jackson hug and smiles.
