Welcome to the stage! Well, when you walk in here, you are backstage. It is a warm, comfortable place for the most part, despite the thick layer of dust that covers nearly everything. This room is oddly devoid of crystals, instead lit with the yellowing bulbs that surround a small mirror and the blinding overhead lights that flood the stage. The first thing you notice as you look from the side of the stage onto where the ‘performances’ must happen is that there are four mannequins on stage, nude and faceless, with wigs and heights that mark them as members of fine, Eichi’s unit from home.



The one depicting Eichi himself is wearing a crown, and holding a sword, pointed out towards the curtains, and the audience beyond.

The curtains are currently drawn closed. Looking around, you can find a chest and just racks of costumes hidden from the stage, and a number of props. Everything here is clearly made to be safe and also just for show, so none of it is USEFUL in any way other than to set up a set, but it’s all here. There seems to be a set for a sort of comedy play, and a set for a drama.
