He sees Big.
Their eyes meet. Recognition. Silence. Neither knows what to say, how to proceed. They speak carefully, slowly, accompanied by a melody, quiet at first. There is a wealth of unspoken feelings between them and much uncertainty.
Big:
Finny
Infinite:
Hi Big
Big:
I never heard from you.
I didn't know if you were alive, or..
Infinite:
I'm sorry.
Big:
It's okay. I stopped waiting. I'm okay.
Infinite shows Big his tattoos
Infinite:
I don't know why them... Why not me?
Big:
at this big understands he's lost his best friends, compassionate
Oh, Finny. I'm so sorry.
Infinite is unable to contain his erupting feelings, trying so hard to do so that he shakes, throbs with their intensity. Big sees.
Ensemble:
Oh a song (take me back)
Oh a sound (take me back)
Can take you back (take me back)
Oh take me back (oh take me back)
Slowly, tentatively, Big goes to Infinite, drawn by his evident need for compassion.
A smell (take me back)
A sound (take me back)
A memory you found (take me back)
Can take you back
Take me back
Finally, he pulls him into a deep, long hug. He hugs back, with much feeling, cries on Bigs shoulder, lets it all out.
Big:
Welcome home.
