She doesn't know why she feels like she wants to take flight away from Bamboo. She doesn't what she feels be seen on her face, she tries hard to look like she's calm and collected.

"What's wrong?" Elle asked.

"Wala."

"So tell me what you want," Bamboo sang the first line of his song Truth and the crowd went wild.
