Head to the stage

Heading out to the stage, you ready yourself for the performance to start. However, issues with this plan soon emerge, when the leading lady of the whole film... doesn't seem to emerge. No one seems to find her, and now knowing how responsible you are... you just don't say anything.

Because of this, the show starts late. It takes another twenty minutes before Gali is found, and another forty to calm her down enough to convince her to act. An hour late, the play starts, only for a bored, annoyed and disappointed audience to have to sit through quite a painful performance. Gali refuses to look at you, let alone feign affection during all of your scenes together, which is the main crux of the play. That quickly demoralizes the other actors, and there's little less to save the show from disaster.

On your off-scenes, it's made remarkably clear how upset Caoimhe is. While Beth seems disappointed, but manageable, Caoimhe is nearly in tears after thing after thing goes wrong. Hours of manpower seem to have gone awry. Eventually, when the play comes to a close with a few parents half-heartedly clapping, and you make your way off stage. Quickly, you find Caoimhe, whose eyes are brimming with tears.

"Hey. I'm sorry, baby. I know this didn't go the way you wanted it to."

"Thanks, Jack. I appreciate that," Caoimhe sniffles.

"Do you want to go get a drink?"

"I do," Caoimhe nods. "But I can't. I need to go talk to the drama teacher about this, and I've some family in the crowd to see, and... look, to be honest, I think I want to go for a walk. Alone. Is that OK?"

"Sure," you nod. "I understand completely."

Caoimhe thanks you politely, before planting a kiss on your lips and heading off. Looking around, it seems the rest of the crew and actors are all quite depressed and disappointed, giving you relatively few chances for fun, so you decide to head back to your room and get to bed.
