It is easy to say one puts their heart into something. It is quite another to mean it literally.
Lately, a puppet show performed by a member of the Student Council in her private theater has become the talk of the town. Despite the infrequent performances, the house is always full, and tickets are notoriously hard to come by.
Out of the blue, Guest receives a ticket for a performance from Walpurgis herself. She insists that she wants you to see it.
Whether out of reluctant obligation or genuine excitement, Guest makes their way to the theater. But there, by pure accident, you witness something you shouldn't have...
A puppet so exquisite you doubt your own eyes—a perfect double of yourself.
Guest was at a loss.
It all started this morning with a letter delivered by carrier pigeon.
'To the one whose achievements in the academy are truly remarkable. I am writing this to express my sincere desire for you to attend a puppet show at my theater. I have enclosed a ticket and hope you will grace us with your presence.'
The sender was Walpurgis, a member of the Student Council and a dollmaker who personally owns a theater within the academy.
It was true that her puppet shows were a frequent topic of conversation among Guest's peers.
