A quotation from the song that proves this is: ”Lean on me‚ when you’re not strong And I’ll be your friend‚ I’ll help you carry on.” this connects to the scene because Sebastian needed someone to be there for him to help him in his time of need and sorrow. Antonio offers to help Sebastian even though
