I suggest you play the song now while reading. Give yourself a feel.

The first act was about to begin. Philza was trying to calm Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo down as their chatter seemed to get increasingly louder. You chuckled to yourself as you heard Tommy's voice from behind the curtain.

You calmed yourself as you waited on the sides, however this time, you wouldn't be pulling the curtains open.

"You got this Y/n." Wilbur told you earlier. You were surrounded with your friends who came to support you, but at the moment you were panicking.

"Wilbur's right Y/n." Jack piped up, "All you gotta do is sing– here, coffee."

Jack gave you coffee and Corpse coughed out a laugh, "Did you just give her your 'Top of the Morning' Coffee?"

"It's the best coffee in the universe, of course it'll help her."

You laughed and Jack made a face that said, 'see, it's helping!'

"Thanks guys."

"Try to find us in the crowd, although, I'm guessing it'll be hard considering the lights on you." Wilbur thought out loud.

"Yeah, I'll try though."

You were so glad you became friends with Wilbur. You didn't know where you would have been without his help and support.

You heard the announcement that the show was about to start and you took deep breaths as everything went quiet.

The music started, the curtains opened,

And you...

You stepped on stage.

And sang.

"Like glimmers in a flower...

Like jewels in a dream..."

Your heart beated in your chest as the scenes progressed. Wilbur watched in amazement as you sang, as you acted. He felt your character's pain, felt sympathy, laughed with the crowd during funny scenes.

Now that he thought about it, your character almost resembled you. The role fit you quite well. Your character, Yin, was very shy, but had an amazing singing voice. Along the way, Yin met Gold, a man who helped her get out into the world.

He showed her how to step outside of her comfort zone. To grow more confident in herself.

And yes, they went through hardships together as they worked together to reach Yin's goal. To finally be unafraid to sing and to unite those who were afraid to have a voice like her.

"But there's still a path that lies ahead for you and I."

They were reaching the climax of the show. Wilbur watched as Gold's voice was stolen by the antagonist who wanted pure silence and sadness like most other antagonists. He watched as Gold urged Yin to run away, so that her voice wouldn't get stolen like his.
