In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart That’s the way he’s been feeling ever since he came back from New York, and he pours all that fear of the Néant in his voice.

I was listening to Tracy Chapman “ The Promise”, and I got bitten by a plot bunny (bad bunny !)īlaine hasn’t been that nervous since he came onstage for his part as Teen Angel, knowing that Kurt would be in the room.
