I could watch Mirrormask thanks to (THANK YOU! ) and I immediately thouth the song "If I apologised" (from OST Mirrormask) would match them.

I tryed to prepare myself, I do it always, when the picture I am thinking on to draw will become something more patient and not just scech.
That means, I always search first on net if there is a possibility to listen to the song - when it is connected to the drawing I made it is for me important to link it to it. (Overpedantic, I know... )

The song:

(it is a video to the movie Mirrormask)

Here are lyrics form the song:
If I apologised
it wouldn't make it all unhappen
wouldn't make the darkness go away
If I apologised
it wouldn't mean I was forgiven
wouldn't mean you wanted me to stay

But
it's a dream
when you seem
to be walking into the sun
we're on first
unrehearsed
and we still don't know what we've done
so we don't say anything.

If I apologised
I don't suppose you'd even notice
even though I'd whisper it inside
If I apologised
we could be the perfect couple
Well we could, but only in my mind

but
if you ask
for the mask
then we're stumbling on through the dark
But we wait
it's too late
And we only had to be asked
so we don't say anything.

It couldn't hurt to try it
It couldn't hurt too much to try
It's there beyond the quiet
it couldn't hurt too much to fly...

Now to my little analysis. When we pass the first phase, wehre it is obvious it matches them really much I will hint at something interesting (for me).

The lyrics were writen by a man...and sung by a women. (hint hint)

As for the setting here. I think Sarah is in the castle, or in building near the castle...or general yin Underground back. (I do not know how she got there, thouth I would like to know )

Both of them know she is back and are caught in the moment of thinking. (hint to lyrics)

I was trying to beware of too definite expressions, I wanted them to look for the watcher neautraly, like the watcher can decide what they feel in the moment.

Sad, regret? Anger, pity?....
Well a moment of no solution now for sure. The one you are sort of waiting, thinking with yourself alone...yeat not alone completely...so near and yeat so far.

I recomend to click for fullsize, I think it is worth it.
