Talia
[Instrumental]

(We now see a video of Talia standing in a bucolic splendor in a wedding dress. What follows is a dream ballet between MISCHA and his love. Cymbal crash in BT cues the beginning of the video of Talia in wedding dress....)

MISCHA [spoken]:
My divine Talia... When I look into your almond eyes, I do not see the boy I am, but the man I must become to possess you. I want to take all of the pain from your soul, and in the passion factory of my heart, transform it into functional joy. I want to take your hand by the Cheremosh River and with all Ukraine as witness, take you as my wife. And we shall sing and dance and drink... And then I shall whispеr in your ear, “Let rivers run wild or lеt them be damned.” My perfect Talia, I lay my masculinity at the altar of your maidenhood

(Everyone leaves the stage, and MISCHA appears to enter the video projection, joining hands with Talia as they run away into a field.)

AH....

MISCHA:
TALIA
OH MY LOVE
(The song ends, leaving MISCHA staring at his phone. Long Beat. The cast gathers round MISCHA who is clearly lost in sadness... not really knowing what to say. Noel touches MISCHA’s shoulder. Mischa hugs Noel with deep affection and sadness, Noel awkwardly hugs him at first but as Mischa stifled cry’s move him. He holds him in a true embrace of friendship.)
