Frantic, high-tempo contemporary musical theatre patter duet with driving piano ostinato, aggressive strings, and sharp percussive hits; overlapping rapid-fire lyrics that feel like a marital fight spiraling out of control, with the male vocal repeatedly cutting off mid-phrase as he “disappears,” music glitching or dropping out briefly before a slightly altered version of him re-enters in a different rhythmic feel; recurring shouted hook “When are you from?” building intensity each time; tempo accelerates as multiple emotional versions of him collide musically, harmonies clashing and stacking; ends in a full orchestral surge that abruptly clears beneath a sustained, defiant belt from the female lead: “No more Henry’s, no more vanishing — it’s time for me to disappear,” landing in a dramatic, breathless silence.

Lyrics
[woman]
You said you’d stay
You said you’d try
You said tonight
No goodbye
[man 1 – defensive]
I didn’t choose
I never choose
It pulls me under
I just lose—
[woman]
Lose what
Lose me
Lose time
Lose truth
[man 1]
I’m still here
[woman]
For how long
[man 1]
I don’t—
(beat — he vanishes)
⸻
[woman]
Oh don’t you dare
Don’t you dare
Don’t you—
⸻
[man 2 – appearing mid-thought]
—understand it’s not a switch
It’s not a door
It’s more a glitch
[woman]
When are you from
[man 2]
Thursday
[woman]
What Thursday
[man 2]
After the fight
[woman]
We’re in the fight
[man 2]
Oh
Right
(he flickers — gone)
⸻
[woman – breathless]
Unbelievable
Unforgivable
Unstable
Unlivable
⸻
[man 3 – older, tired]
Clare please
We survive this
[woman]
When are you from
[man 3]
After the hospital
[woman]
What hospital
[man 3 – realizing]
Oh no
(he disappears)
⸻
[woman]
Stop
Stop
Stop appearing mid-sentence
Stop arriving with future tense
Stop telling me what I will forgive
⸻
[man 4 – younger, almost boyish]
You always yell right here
[woman]
When are you from
[man 4]
Before the wedding
[woman]
We’re married
[man 4]
We are
[woman]
Not if you keep vanishing
(he flickers — gone)
⸻
[woman – accelerating]
Different shoes
Different scars
Different versions
Different wars
How many men
Am I supposed to love
How many futures
Am I made of
⸻
[man 5 – desperate, overlapping]
Clare it’s gravity
Clare it’s chemistry
Clare it’s entropy
Clare it’s me
[woman]
Which you
Which year
Which lie
Which fear
[man 5]
I don’t know
(he disappears mid-word)
⸻
[woman – now alone but still arguing]
Of course you don’t
Of course you don’t
Of course you—
(another Henry appears)
⸻
[man 6 – calm, distant]
You asked for this
[woman]
When are you from
[man 6]
After you leave
[woman – stunned]
After I what
[man 6]
Clare—
(he vanishes)
⸻
[woman – full voice, breaking]
I’m done
Do you hear me
I’m done
No more Henry’s
No more vanishing
No more fragments
No more managing
No more futures
Breaking through
No more loving
All of you
If you disappear
Again
It’s my turn
No more Henry’s
No more time
It’s time
For me
To disappear
