Book 2: Chapter 8: The Play, Espressivo of Light and Darkness Part 3
The Student Council would be performing a play.
Saying it like that made it sound wonderful, but we were just a group of amateurs with no formal training in acting. If we didn’t rehearse properly, we would make fools out of ourselves in front of the audience.
Even if we put my own embarrassment aside, I couldn’t allow for the young ladies to fail like that. Extra training might have been required, but there were only two months left before the cultural festival took place.
