| | Hey Kid hopped up into another wicker chair, and looked up at Sal. In the light of the lonely bulb hanging over the porch, Sal looked … older than he is, and sadder too.

| |
| − | '''Hey Kid's Question'''
| |
| − | * Sal accepts that growing up means accepting that "things can't be exactly as you dreamed, but realising they can still be worthwhile and fulfilling"
| |
| − | * Parish says that "gathering more life experiences is part of growing up. You get more used to the world around you, but that doesn’t mean you lose your sense of wonder or fun"
| |
| − | * Amelie belives that "it's a bit of both, it's like reviewing your past tape and recognizing the patterns you've found before reviewing it and updating your profile so that you're more efficient."
| |
| − | * Hey Kid thinks that ''maybe growing up is just about figuring yourself out. Like, what you want to do and what you need to do, and doing things for other people. And it's not like you have to get all serious. Sal likes to play, and he's a grown-up. But... maybe he's still growing. Maybe everyone is. Maybe everyone is growing up, and no one is grown up, like, forever. Except Yazeba, I can't imagine her changing.''

| |
| − | '''Sal's Question'''
| |
| − | * Hey Kid wonders if ''Maybe I'm kind of like a firefly, still. Everyone at the B&B is so grown up, except maybe Gertrude. They get all worked up and forget to play. Maybe it's not just them telling me what to do. Maybe I need to remind them that they can be adults and still play.''
| |
| − | * My purpose is to scan for messes and be polite to guests," Amelie offer, something having shifted, but it remains unsaid.
| |
| − | * Parish announces that “I suppose the real challenge is staying true to yourself when life, or indeed a rogue enchantment, surprises you. One can always serve others! It may be easier when one is in their original form, but I’d like to think I do well regardless.”
| |
| − | * Sal says, "I think for me it's about reaching people, and helping people. I used to think the stage was the best place to broadcast my message from. Now I'm starting to feel like it needs to be a two-way street, like you can't teach without learning yourself, y'know?"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''The Big Question'''
| |
| − | * Ultimately, Hey Kid decides '''It's okay if things change.'''
| |
| − | * Amelie decides '''I often forget that performing an activity with your friends is not the same as being idle. Or at least I used to not understand this.'''
| |
| − | * Parish muses that '''any change by outside forces changes you on the inside too, and that's not always bad.'''
| |
| − | * And Sal thinks '''There's always time for songwriting tomorrow...'''
