Flayn & Manuela A

link
Manuela, Flayn enter the scene
link
Flayn
volume_up

Manuela, do you recall what you told me?
link
Flayn
volume_up

You mentioned that "if a place shines brighter than anywhere else, then its shadows will be darker too."
link
Manuela
volume_up

You sound so worried. That was nothing, dear. Call it a joke.
link
Flayn
volume_up

It most certainly did not sound like a joke. Can you please elaborate?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Of course, I love hearing about your glamorous past performing on stage. But all that glamor doesn't account for the shadows you spoke of.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Well, I suppose I could share a little.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Here's the thing about the opera. Talent isn't enough to earn you a position in a glamorous show.
link
Manuela
volume_up

You need money, connections, and, failing those, the stomach to commit a spot of violence.
link
Manuela
volume_up

I spent many nights buttering up nobles in power.
link
Manuela
volume_up

No matter how humiliating the task, I'd do it. Because I wanted to be a star.
link
Manuela
volume_up

I hope that kind of talk isn't too shocking for a sweet girl like yourself.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Are you disillusioned with me now that you know my sordid past?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Not at all.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Understanding you more deeply, I can see how much strength has been required of you all this time.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Flayn...
link
Flayn
volume_up

I am well aware that survival and striving for dreams sometimes means doing things we would not normally do.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Perhaps because you have been so strong—lived with such conviction...
link
Flayn
volume_up

Perhaps that is why your songs have touched so many people's hearts.
link
Manuela
volume_up

You sound very wise all of a sudden. Thank you, Flayn.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I would like to rescind my original request of you.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Your request to hear one of my songs?
link
Flayn
volume_up

Indeed. Instead, I have a different request.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I would like to see you perform an opera. On stage.
link
Manuela
volume_up

I don't know about that. It's been a long time since I stood on stage.
link
Flayn
volume_up

I imagine you have experienced much since you left the opera company.
link
Flayn
volume_up

It follows, then, that you have developed new insights, charm, and wisdom to share.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Yes, I probably could play a tragic role even better now than I could back then.
link
Manuela
volume_up

But it's hardly the time for operas. We need to put an end to this war first.
link
Flayn
volume_up

Agreed! Let us make the curtain fall on this war as soon as possible.
link
Manuela
volume_up

Maybe then we can raise the curtain on a brand new performance! That'd be something, wouldn't it?
link
Flayn
volume_up

That is exactly what I yearn for!
