It's another one of those cases where something, initially thought as a bad thing, begets something good. Lily and I had both tried out for the speaker-at-grad-who-does-the-toast-to-the-teachers role but she got it, which made me quite sad but she said that I could write one line for her to say (It was going to be something similar to the 10. december line about knowing that we need to set limits and stick to them at all costs, but turned around to say that teachers should never forget that we have limits), which was very nice of her. And here's the good part:
The Ant is doing the reply to her toast.
Expression A: shock.
Expression B: relief that I didn't get the part.
Expression C: possibility that the replier is supposed to be a teacher with a closer relationship with the speaker and thus chosen
Expression D: even though my line was meant to be something that would really hit home with the Ant (though it might not seem that way coming from Lily), now it needs to be able to strike harder, maybe even come as a surprise to her, not to be in the rehearsal script. Not offensive though, of course. But it must mean something to her, as if she'd hear it and know instantly that it was my last message to her and all of my friends who survived what I could not.
Aside: emotional music/song does not immediately imply cheeziness.
