.:Final Night Under the Stars (Week 3 Curfew):.

[ There are beads on top of a table with some typical fabric string from studio.

In case someone wants to do some very basic art stuff. ]

Comments

[aspirings]

Ah... yes.

[Tsukasa laughs at that, but ruefully and a little softly.]

Our first performance. You're right that that was our first proper test. And it was... an absolute disaster on every front.

[hjadningavig]

[ Dainsleif hadn't anticipated that...the first performance would apparently be such a failure that would be Tsukasa's reaction. ]

...I see.

I hadn't known it was that bad. Nor would I expect for it to be...how exactly did all of you overcome such a demoralizing aftermath?

[ Because it certainly sounds like it! ]

[aspirings]

[It was deeply demoralizing, he's right--perhaps more than Dainsleif is expecting.]

I handled it very poorly. [Tsukasa was pre-character development back then.] And lost my temper at the others, when they didn't deserve it at all. And ultimately, the troupe broke up.

[Obviously, that isn't the end of the tale, given they're putting shows on now.]

We were able to come back together again... when I figured out my priorities, and properly apologized to everyone.
