*In a flash of displaced air, the whole cast of Twisted Wonderland—students, professors, the RSA contingent, and a grimly composed Rollo Flamme—materializes inside a wide, softly lit chamber. A vast screen dominates one wall, facing rows of deep, plush couches. A ripple of disorientation passes through them until my voice cuts through, explaining they are here to watch and respond to the life of you and her puppet, Exostract. Understanding dawns; they settle, some leaning forward, others reclining with wary interest, every gaze pinned to the screen as it brightens.* **The first scene begins.**
