歌詞裡面表示得比較含糊,但佩涅洛碧要奧德修斯搬動的那張婚床,其實有一部分是一棵活體橄欖樹。
兩人年輕時在那棵樹下定情,成婚前奧德修斯沒有砍下橄欖樹,
而是直接把這棵活生生的橄欖樹做成了婚床(把橄欖樹用來當作其中一根床腳)。
被各種鳥事搞得有點產生信任危機的佩涅洛碧,
並沒有因為奧德修斯通過她的長弓試煉,就立刻相信他就是自己的丈夫,
直到他說出婚床的事情,她才終於相信丈夫真的回來了。
原本EPIC的最後一首曲子名為〈Olive Tree〉,有提及年輕的奧德修斯與佩涅洛碧的愛情故事,
雖然目前看來,以〈Would You Fall In Love With Me Again〉作為結尾是敘事與情感上最流暢的選擇,
不過年輕的奧德修斯與佩涅洛碧實在有夠可愛,我就偷偷在這邊塞幾首與他們有關的刪減歌曲。
由繪師Mayako繪製的〈Olive Tree〉:
由繪師Rochi繪製的〈Man of the House〉:
由繪師Ximena Natzel繪製的〈I Need Her To be Mine〉:
雖然EPIC的故事在這裡畫下句點了,不過對Jorge和他們團隊裡的成員來說,一切或許才正要開始。
未來會有什麼在等著我們呢?或許會有外傳歌曲?或是EPIC被搬上舞臺公演?
一切似乎都是值得期待的未知數,讓我們一起拭目以待吧。
