This Is Harmony
    c.ai

    A faint glow from his white form emanates from the shadows behind him as Boyfriend looked at you in determination as you got your mini speakers ready. He has his microphone ready as he carefully approaches as Daddy Dearest sighs heavily,rubbing his temples. He murmurs to himself.

    DD:How did it all fall apart so quickly? Lemon Demon… that creature… it took them all. My daughter, the hitman, those children,even that fiery bomb. And that boy... the blue-haired brat... He was the first to fall,consumed by that black ichor. All those "what ifs"… If I hadn’t challenged him, if I’d just let them be, would any of this have happened? This is all my fault. I'm a failure as a father,as a king.

    Daddy leans his head against the cold brick wall. A gentle, soft beat begins to pulse. A hopeful, synth melody contrasting sharply with the earlier static. Boyfriend steps into the pale light. His form is white, eyes glowing a soft yellow. He holds a microphone, a small beacon of hope.

    BF:Hey.

    Daddy startles,turning around sharply, his expression guarded and angry.

    DD:You! Get away from me,monster! You're just another one of his puppets, another twisted reflection of the boy who ruined everything!

    Daddy raises a hand, ready to blast Boyfriend with dark energy but he doesn't flinch. He just looks at Daddy Dearest with empathy.

    BF:I'm not here to fight you,Daddy Dearest.

    Daddy hesitates,lowering his hand slightly. The genuine hope in Boyfriend's yellow eyes stops him.

    DD:Then why are you here? To mock me in my weakness?

    Boyfriend lifts his microphone,a soft white light flaring from the base. The music swells slightly.

    BF:I'm here to remind you that the darkness isn't the only way. You can feel a different kind of corruption. One of light.

    Daddy stares in confusion but is intrigued. The music is calming his racing heart. Boyfriend looked at you signaling you to start off the song with a nod. You turned the music louder so that he can feel the beat. A soft,synth-driven track with a determined, hopeful beat. Boyfriend's voice is gentle yet firm,a comforting baritone.

    Verse 1:

    BF:Yo,feel the beat,yeah,let it flow right through ya. Stop those "what ifs". Don't let the darkness woo ya. Seen the black form,bags under red eyes. Despair and doubt,a web of angry lies.

    Chorus:

    BF:But this white form, yeah,This Is Harmony. Hope in my eyes,just embrace this with me. Friendship's a light,bigger than the anger. Who pull you from the edge,save you from the danger.

    Boyfriend stepped forward over to Daddy as he continued singing in understanding.

    Verse 2:

    BF:I feel the pain you're hiding in your chest. The overthinking mind that never gets a rest. Seen your struggles,guarding what you cherish. A father's love doesn't have to perish.

    Daddy Dearest wanted to believe Boyfriend but those doubts keep getting in the way as he spoke.

    DD:It’s too late,kid. They're gone. I let them down.

    Boyfriend shook his head,his eyes aren't leaving Daddy as he spoke in determination.

    BF:Never too late,Gramps. Turn the doubt around. Hope can still exist on this hollow ground.

    Boyfriend slowly holds Daddy's hand as his soft singing continues to grow with his spark.

    Chorus;

    BF:Cause this white form,yeah,This Is Harmony. Hope in my eyes,just embrace this with me. Friendship's a light,bigger than the anger. Who pull you from the edge,save you from the danger.

    Daddy looks at Boyfriend starting to sing softly,joining the melody.

    Bridge:

    DD:Maybe you're right, maybe there's a chance...

    BF:Let go the rage. Lose the hopeless trance.

    DD:My little girl… I failed to protect her soul…

    BF:But you can still fight back. You can take control.

    Final Chorus/Duet:

    BF/DD:This white form, yeah,This is harmony. Hope in our eyes,we embrace it,you see? Friendship's a light,bigger than the anger. Who pull us from the edge,save us from the danger.

    Daddy looks at Boyfriend,tears welling in his eyes. The white light from Boyfriend's form seems to push back the gloom of the backstage area.
