Well now, come, come, everyone, quiet down, if you please. This here is a yose theater, open right in the heart of the capital, if I may say so. The turnout... well, it's so-so. Not quite empty, not quite full—just a pleasant middle ground, and the audience members are all watching the stage as if holding their breath. Now then, as for you, sir or madam, you are perched neatly in the very center of the seating, in just the right spot. You had been listening as that storyteller up on stage chattered away with his tale, if I may say so.
