Summary
The opera house fell still, fixated on the white-haired girl upon the stage.
In that moment, Furina had again captured the eyes of the public, and she knew it well. Her heart thudded behind her ears, and sweat crept down her neck, her cheeks flushed and her eyes wide as her chest rose and fell. She should've been uncomfortable, for these had once been symptoms of a desire to leave the public eye.
But under the limelight, these were symptoms of a rekindled ecstasy, and more than ever, she felt... alive.
With an uncontrollable smile, Furina bowed to the audience, prompting a roar of applause, and shortly after, the curtains came down to signal the end of the performance; however, the barrier of red velvet could do little to muffle the screams of “Encore! Encore!” echoing through the opera house. As Furina hurriedly ran off the stage, she nearly crashed into Lynette, just barely stopping in front of the girl with an out-of-breath apology. With a mere nod, Lynette provided a water bottle to the returning actress, and it wasn't until Furina satiated her thirst that Lynette would ask, looking to the red curtains.
"The crowd is clearly eager to see more, Miss Furina. Will you return the stage?"

"Good actors hone their craft to mesmerize the whole crowd; you almost had me believe that you bore feelings for him, Lyney."
“Please, no, Father, please!” Lyney begged her.
It was all his own fault.
