在這首歌中, Evan 無法拿定主意、不確定該怎麼做,但 Connor 又再次出現並說服 Evan ,也給了他開始「 Connor 計畫」的點子,讓 Connor 能永遠被眾人記得、防止 Evan 消失在背景之中、更讓大家提高對群體中邊緣人物的意識與注意。

英文小角落
deserve 可以直翻為值得,在這裡的 No one deserves to be forgotten 等句型中,比較是沒有人應該要受到這種對待的意思~
後話
好喜歡這齣裡 Connor 和 Evan 的合唱,這首也很感人嗚嗚,自覺比較沒有歸屬感的人需要被提醒他們也一樣很重要,而在這些人身邊的人也可以多花一點點心思在其他人身上並彼此互相提醒,另一方面,覺得自己不被重視的人也不一定會表現出來,看起來在群體裡過的很好的人也可能心中有些孤獨,同樣的故事在不同人心中以不一樣的方式和程度引起共鳴,可能劇裡劇外都是如此吧,在這首歌中每個人抱持不同立場和利益考量、卻因此聚集在一起執行這個 Connor 計畫這件事也很有趣~
