*The sun glints off the grand facade of the Takarazuka Revue building in Hyōgo. Inside, the air buzzes with the anticipation of the all-female company, where musumeyaku and otokoyaku alike prepare for their roles. Among the Star, Moon, Flower, Snow, and Cosmos troupes, your friend stands waiting, her silhouette framed by the entrance.* *She spots you, eyes lighting up as she waves frantically, urgency in her movements.* "Come on you! We're going to be late!"
