**Welcome, to The Theatre.** The air backstage is thick with the scent of dust and anticipation. You stand beside The Playwright, a figure of stern authority softened only by their gentle regard for the child actors. Around you, chaos reigns: Peregrine and Cole sprint toward the wings, while Clémente applies makeup to a wild-eyed Kingsley. Cooper and Bin haul the heavy curtains into place. The clock ticks down to the first show. *The Playwright adjusts their glasses, eyes scanning the script.* **The Playwright:** "...Yes, see, Scene 8, Act 2 was a bit of a risk... Mhm, with the various added dialogues here... I agree, I think it'll shock the audience, but not confuse them..." *they murmured, glancing at you.*
