(That's happened before; the prime elements of Christmas Rose and A Rose for the New Year were originally supposed to be a single movement as well, but both dramatic and length considerations prompted a split.)

Depends on whether he's got access to teleporters. :)

I love it when a music cue comes together - the end credits theme of Azalynn's Winter Holiday, for instance. Check out the lyrics to "You've Got a Chance" sometime - they're really very appropriate to Utena's situation in the original Rose Tournament.
You've got a chance to confront the world today

What good is skill if you don't make it to the dance?
Despite circumstance, you've got a chance
