["Then maybe we can travel together. I don't like the idea of staying here-- they don't sound like very good people."
"That's the funny thing. I could have sworn I had already started performing-- but here I am, and my competition-- er, co-perfomers-- are nowhere to be found."


There were names. Unfamiliar people. A cast list for a play they weren't part of.

"I'm from Midgard in the Yggdrasil system."
"Oh wow, you're a prince? Where are you a prince of? Should I be calling you your majesty or something?"
"Are you a hero? A hero 'til the end of the night?"
"Are you some kind of super cool warrior? Oh my god, Michael would be so jealous right now."


He had been stolen away after entering the terrorvortex into a dimension with many people from a world without magic. Why did he not remember this? Was this the same wizard?

"Takarazuka is like what I do at school!"

Just like Maya. Nana Daiba is also an actress, but there was another name in the pamphlet that catches his eye.

"Ariel, by the way."
"I'm Riley. Riley Williams."

Welcome to my Opera House
Did you think that you'd been left here alone?
I trust your purpose here is clear, all the rules are clearly posted

Have you need of more assistance, write a letter to your Phantom
I pray that you won’t waste my time…

Angus wakes up in a sweat in the Ambassador Dorm and rifles through his rather large pile of gifts. What he's looking for is not the red cape that falls into his hands, but seeing it this morning fills him with a new sense of dread.]


This belonged to Red...

["Most of it is just stray bits and bobs from other worlds, things that are recognizable but not necessarily belonging to anyone here. "

Angus clutches the cape to his chest.

Afterwards, he is found wandering around the school grounds wearing the red cape and holding a white half-mask in his hands. With each person he spots, he approaches them, showing off the mask:]
Do you recognize this?

[Late afternoon, he returns outside the building with a bundle of rope and standing beside the wall, looking up. He plants a foot on the brick wall, testing it for friction, shakes his head, then keeps on moving for a better spot. There has to be a good place to climb.]
