Summary
Miranda knows *exactly* how this play ends. Every night for four hundred years, she and her compatriots have inhabited the feckless actors who make the same choices, recite the same lines, kiss the same partners, slog through tragedies and victories and long-winded insults. Even if some clever dramaturge has decided to stage tonight's production of "The Tempest" as a cyberpunk sexploitation piece about AI rights and the weird emotional incest between Prospero and his children, she knows she can speak her lines, hit her marks, and stick the landing to every last scene.
After all, it's not like she has a choice. Her kind lives on the adulation of crowds. Fail to capture their attention, and she might just disappear forever.
