I think now's the perfect opportunity to write about Jemima…
After the Jellicle Ball, Jemima climbs the car and starts to sing her emotions out but before she could hit a note, a voice suddenly sings out of nowhere.
Past the point of no return no backward glances:
The games we've played till now are at an end
Past all thought of "if" or "when"
No use resisting
Abandon thought, and let the dream descend
She becomes alarmed and plans to scurry to the den but then the voice persuades her to stay.
"Who are you and where are you?" Jemima shouts
The voice simply ignores her and continues to sing.
What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction lies before us?
"Hey!" Jemima exclaims louder. Yet the voice still ignores her and continues to sing.
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
What warm unspoken secrets will we learn?
Beyond the point of no return
"Aren't you listening to me?" Jemima gets angry
"You know the song, just sing with me" the voice commands her
Jemima becomes startled and follows the command
You have brought me
To that moment
Where words run dry
To that moment where speech disappears
Into silence
Silence
Jemima sings the next lines with confusion.
I have come here
Hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind, I've already imagined
Our bodies entwining
Defenseless and silent
And now I am here with you
No second thoughts
Jemima continues
Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion-play has now, at last, begun
The song's mood starts to run all over her body.
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait, before we're one?
"Let the music flow through your veins" the voice commands her.
When will the blood begin to race
The sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume us?
"I can feel it" Jemima sighs
Past the point of no return
The final threshold
The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn
We've passed the point of no return
Both voices join
After singing the last note Jemima scurries back to the den
Well... guess who the voice is
SPOILER: Jemima's story is somehow based on Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies.
