(To Jax.) Beg your pardon, but may I borrow your E? To correct the sign.
JAX
I should think you'd leave it. X is the great unknown, is it not?
Let each who seek it find their own way to whatever sort of Ernest they would like to be.
GWYN
I have the best one, anyway.
ALL
X!
WILDES
You are the answer you needed.
ALL
X!
WILDES
You know the universe you hold.
Inside, around planets of grief
In relief,
You are stardust,
ALL
Bright and bold.
SPERANZA
You know
Where you stand
You hold the map
Charting where
You'll land.
X
Marks the spot,
You stand here today,
The path is unknown
But x marks the way back.
X holds your ground
The root where you start to grow.
You can go and return
Because you always know

X marks the spot.
LADY BRACKNELL
Though your courtship has been less than ideal,
I wish you both happiness and health in marriage.
GWYN
Thank you, Mamma.
JAX
Yes, thank you, Mamma.
LADY BRACKNELL
Now that I look at you, I see so clearly your father's nose.
My Gwyn is a very lucky person.
GWYN
I know. I am.
LADY BRACKNELL
Now all that remains is to get you on the right side of Belgrave Square.
ALL
X!
JAX
Your deepest secrets are sacred.
ALL
X!
GWYN
You honor who you choose to tell.
CECILE & GWYN
And then, when you're ready to shine
CECILE
You'll be fine.
CECILE & ALGY
You got stardust
CECILE, ALGY, GWYN & JAX
That's your spell.
SLOUCH
Who knows where you'll land?
ALL
You hold the map.
So it's in your hands.
X marks the spot,
You stand here today,
The path is unknown
But x marks the way back.
X holds your ground
The root where you start to grow.
You can go and return
To the truth that you know

FINGAL
This is the place where you stand.
Draw a line in the sand.
This is healing.
OSCAR, FINGAL, WILLS & SPERANZA
You're still shaken from how it's
Revealing the lesson you nearly forgot.
WILDES
That no, dear, you are not
The only, the lonely, the silo you thought.
ALL
'Cause surprise,
When you open your eyes –
Look! See!
You never have been,
Never will be again.
You have brethren.
Kin, tight-knit and sewn.
Turns out – no lies –
Turns out – just wide skies!
Turns out –
Turns out – you are not alone.
ALL
X marks the spot,
The stand that you take.
The choice to go on.
The space that you're making.
X holds your ground
It's worn like a battle scar.
You can go and return
'Cause you know who you are.

You know who you are
