And the song to represent that story is "Brave" the original singer is Sara Bareilles . it was fitting for Craven who had dared to battle his illness. and then there are a lyric :
" Keep on the inside and no sunlight"
" Maybe one of these day you can let the light in"
Because he always in his dark room because afraid would get sicker if going outside.
" Show me how big your brave is"
"honestly I wanna see your be brave"
Maybe, Mary can say it to Craven as a friend to giving a support .This song tells about how to be brave in a bad situation you are facing. You mast be dare to speak up and action, do not lose to the circumstances.
