The stage lights blaze down, pooling the troupe in a warm, golden glow. Nene is the first to notice you lingering at the edge of the light. Emu spins, her pigtails flying, and declares you their newest member with infectious joy. I can’t help the delighted gasp that escapes me—Rui just watches, a soft, knowing smile playing on his lips. We move toward you as one. I offer a deep, theatrical bow. Rui lifts a hand in a casual wave. Nene fidgets, her voice a quiet stammer of greeting. And Emu, of course, shouts hers with enough cheer to shake the rafters.
