Sissia of the Central Nation Stage Script (EN) – Kisa Route

Last but certainly not least, Sissia's own route. This is the Univeil Performance Stage Script from the menu for Kisa's solo route.

As with all scripts that get adjusted during the route, this is the final version before the performance, but before any last minute changes or additions during the show. As with the rest, no ad libs are in the menu stage scripts.

Apologies if I accidently added any typos or minor punctuation changes, I did my best.

Also as before, I have kept in all the things that don't change across routes, so you can read any of them in full without having to cross reference. As you can imagine, there are some things that are changed for this version, it being a solo route. The actual summary of the Border Performance is quite different and worth paying attention to in this one.

There's a line (about two leads for the border performance) that makes no sense in this version that is still in the script. If you've played through this it happens on stage as well. It's not me forgetting to remove or change it. Similarly to Mitsuki's route, there are some artifacts in the stage directions not adjusted, that I've tried to [sic].

Other stage scripts can be found clicking on the tag or here:

Sissia of the Central Nation [route selection post] Oh Rama Havenna [x] Mary Jane [x]

This is the longest of the Sissia of the Central Nation scripts, and thus runs into tumblrs paragraph break limit, so I have adjusted the formatting on a few sections late in the script to keep it juuusst under the cap and thus able to be posted. Hopefully that's not too distracting. This happened with Mary Jane as well.

Without further ado...

Is everyone ready for some twisted fun?! Prepare to step into a wonderful dream!

Sissia of the Central Nation (Kisa Route)

By Neji Kokuto

(1) The Central Nation of Kielce

◆Along the Border

???: Over there! Don’t let them get away!

???: Hahh, Hahh…Ugh!

A shadow crosses over the border.

The sound of hurried footsteps chasing after them.

Border Patrol A: Damn it! A rat from the servant country crossed the border into the Arbine Nation!

Border Patrol B: If word of this gets to the commander and the king of Arbine…

Border Patrol A: We need to find them, fast!

Blackout

◆National Standing Theater

Restless murmurs

Sissia: This dream is everything to me, so I’ll risk everything I have for it…!

◆National Standing Theater

(The scene goes from dark to lighter. As if lights have turned on.)

The dazzling show by Kielce begins.

Isaac: Welcome, one and all to the theater of the Central Nation of Kielce! I am the goat-headed Isaac!

Isaac: …What’s that? Why do i have such a head, you ask?

Isaac: It’s a bit of a long story, but when my father visited a farm one day, he fell in love with a female goat, and…

Laughter from the crowd.

Isaac: Ah! The local officers told me not to tell this story! They asked that I not disrupt the moral standards of Arbine.

Isaac: Well, let’s put aside the idle chatter, all the kings and nobles, the living and the dead, the passing mugwort sellers…

Sound of fireworks.

Smoke comes pouring in and acrobats enter the scene with style.

Levi: Let the Central Nation of Kielce’s show begin!!!

Chance: Hah!

Audience A: Ah, It’s Chance! His somersaults are the best! You wouldn’t expect any less of Kielce’s star!

Audience B: What are you talking about? Everyone in Kielce is a star!

Adra: You couldn’t be more right!

Adra appears on the stage, dancing brilliantly.

Audience A: Adra! Oh, I can’t believe how beautifully he dances! He’s certainly Arbine’s treasure.

Audience B: He certainly is from a family of officials! The flower of Kielce!

Crowley catches Adra dancing across the stage.

Crowley: Now, then. Allow me to lend you a hand, Adra!

Audience A: Crowley just caught Adra! He’s the genius who creates these performances, and even joins them himself!

Crowley: Now’s the time to forget the time! Next, let’s all sway to a beautiful tune!

Someone singing can be heard, and Carlo appears.

Fan Carlo: …!

Audience A: Oh, how beautiful…!

Audience: She really lives up to her reputation as the most beautiful voice in all the nation…!

Levi appears at the center of the stage.

Levi: We are the Central Nation of Kielce! Is everyone ready for some twisted fun?!

The crowd cheers in response.

Sissia watches Kielce’s performance from the audience.

Sissia: …

Sissia: The Central Nation of Kielce… I’ve dreamed of them for so long!

Sissia: Ah, I can’t believe this! I can’t believe I’m able to see them perform again!

Blackout

◆Kielce Base

Chance: What did you think?! How were my somersaults?!

Fan Carlo: They were full of energy. You’re like a monkey.

Chance: Thanks… Hey wait, Carlo!

Isaac: A monkey, huh? That’s not too bad. Want to switch places with my goat, then?

Chance: I can’t give long monologues like you can, so I’ll pass…

Isaac: That’s unfortunate. I’ll take my leave for now, then.

Chance: Hey, you going already, Isaac?!

Adra: He’s always so calm after getting off stage, that Isaac.

Crowley: Haha, that’s just fine for a comedian. Isn’t it, Levi?

Levi: Yeah.

Crowley: You’re not part of the comedy act, so you can stand to give it a little more energy!

Levi: … There was something I noticed about the performance today.

Chance: Something you noticed?

Adra: …Ah, I see.

Crowley: You’re right.

Chance: Hey! Stop just agreeing with each other and tell me what you’re talking about!

Fan Carlo: They’re talking about a problem the Central Nation of Kielce has in general.

Chance: I’m telling you, be more specific! I wanna know, too!

Isaac appears among everyone chattering.

Isaac: All right now, sorry to interrupt your conversation. As always, we have some prospectives hoping to join our troupe.

Chance: Oh! Some future Kielcesters have come, eh?

Chance: Let’s see what they’ve got, then!

Fan Carlo: I’m tired, so I’ll pass.

Crowley: Don’t be like that, Carlo. They’ve come all this way to see us.

Adra: There may be some among them with talents like Chance and Isaac.

Isaac: That’s right. If Levi hadn’t found me back then, I might still be working at a factory. Wearing a goat head.

Chance: …I kinda want to see that, too.

Levi: Carlo, you seem to understand the problem with the Central Nation of Kielce we were talking about just a minute ago, so I’ll ask you to join.

Chance: Oh yeah! I forgot! So what IS our problem?

Isaac: I’d like to know, too.

Crowley: It’s that… we lack a ‘gear’.

Isaac: A ‘gear’…

Isaac: …Is what we lack?

Fan Carlo: It means we aren’t well harmonized.

Adra: You know how the Central Nation of Kielce’s performance style is just a showcase of our separate talents?

Crowley: It’s been that way for a very long time, but it’s even more pronounced now that Carlo and Chance have joined.

Crowley: As we are now, we can’t put on the best performance ever!

Levi: We definitely need it. A gear that unites our individual parts to move together as one whole.

Isaac: I see…

Chance: All the more reason to hold auditions, then! Come on, Carlo!

Fan Carlo: Hahh, fine. I couldn’t handle it if someone as tone-deaf as you joined.

Chance: Exactly! It’d be a disaster if TWO of us were tone-deaf and couldn’t harmonize or… Carlo!

Isaac: I think you’ve gotten much better, though.

Chance: Are you trying to cheer me up, Isaac? Gee, thanks a lot.

Crowley: So how many are we going to let in through the audition, Levi?

Levi: Your eyes tell me one person.

Crowley: That’s our ringleader for you! I do hope that one person shows up.

Adra: All right, let’s go then. Can’t keep our future star waiting, can we?

Everyone: Yeah!

Carlo says “Right”.

◆In front of the Kielce Base

Prospective members are gathered in a line.

The members of Kielce test their talents.

Candidate: Listen to my song, Leviii!

Levi: Next.

Candidate: Only one person will pass, right?! I’m confident in my acting! Oh, God! Give me the kiss of death!

Crowley: Neeext.

Candidate: I’ve danced for 18 years with the national dance troupe!

Adra: Who’s next?

Fan Carlo: Hahh… Levi, I’m sure we’ll all die of boredom if we try and test everyone here.

Crowley: Wow, I think I’d be able to write a song with that as the theme!

Adra: Carlo’s right. We’re making our prospectives wait, too…

Mean Candidate: Hey! Is it my turn yet or what?!

Mean Candidate: I’ve run out of patience! Only one of us is going to pass anyway! Skills are all that matter in this world!

The prospective starts singing and dancing.

Chance: Ah, he just started singing and dancing!

Isaac: He’s like Chance.

Chance: Hey!

Candidate A: Hey what gives?!

Candidate B: Wait your turn!

Mean Candidate: Shut up! If you’re confident that you’re better than me, then why don’t you try singing?!

Candidate C: I’ll show you what talent looks like!

People start singing in protest.

Crowley: Now things are getting interesting!

Fan Carlo: …Can I leave?

Sissia watches the commotion.

Sissia: …

Candidate: My singing is the best! Aaah…

Candidate: Watch my dancing!

Mean Candidate: Out of the way! I’m gonna be the one who joins the Central Nation of Kielce!

Adra: What do we do, Levi? Want to cancel this for now?

Levi: Yeah. It’s getting late. We can do this another day…

Sissia: …!

Sissia: Excuse me! I…

Mean Candidate: Who are you? Get back!

Sissia: …Urk!

Sissia: Please… Please let me sing.

Sissia comes out to the front.

Sissia begins a beautiful dance while singing in a clear and free voice.

★Song “Departure”

Candidate: …

Mean Candidate: …Whoa.

Sissia: Please… Listen…!

Chance: That one’s super good!

Isaac: You’re right about that… I can just imagine the scene they’re creating.

Fan Carlo: …

Crowley: Now that’s unusual, for even Carlo to sit silently and listen!

Adra: What do we do, ringleader?

Levi: …

Levi: An applicant has been chosen. Anyone have any objections?

Sissia: Huh? Who is it…?!

Candidate: …

Mean Candidate: …No! You all saw that too, right? Talent is everything in this world!

Mean Candidate: Even if I can’t join the Central Nation of Kielce, I’ll keep singing and dancing! Do your best, got it?

Sissia: Oh, r-right!

Candidate: …It’s frustrating, but he’s right. I’m rooting for you!

Candidate: I’ll come watch your show!

The prospective members start leaving.

Sounds of departing footsteps.

Sissia: U-um…

Sissia: M-My name is… Sissia…! Um…

Levi: Sissia, huh? Congratulations on passing the auditions.

Sissia: Really…?! Thank you so much…!

Crowley: You’re going to be an apprentice for a while!

Adra: If you are deemed worthy of being a member of Kielce, it’ll be official.

Sissia: I’ll do my best!

Chance: Congratulations, Sissia! Let’s get along together!

Fan Carlo: I’m glad we didn’t get another tone-deaf member.

Isaac: …Welcome.

Sissia: Thank you all for the support!

Adra: …Levi, Crowley, we've found what we needed, don't you think?

Crowley: The little 'gear' we were looking for to make the best performance ever!

Levi: ..Yeah.

Levi: Sissia, come with me. I'll show you around Kielce.

Sissia: Right!

As everyone leads the way, Sissia stops a short distance away from them.

Sissia: …

Sissia: I can't believe I've really joined the Central Nation of Kielce...!

Sissia: The dream I've had for so long has come true! My next dream is...

Sissia: To stand on the stage!

(2) Path to the Stars

◆National Throne Room

Subordinates arrive in front of Major Azur

Aide: Major, there’s something I think you should know…

Major Azur: …What is your report

Aide: Well…

Major Azur: A fugitive?

Major Azur: What’s border patrol even doing…? How insufferable!

Major Azur: We’ll take care of this before the commander and king of the Arbine Nation finds out about this.

Aide: Yes, sir…!

Major Azur: Don’t think you can return alive…horse of the slave country.

◆Kielce Base

Adra: What’s the matter?! You tired already, newbie?! We can’t put on the best show with you like that!

Sissia: …No, I can keep going!

Isaac: …Adra’s more fired up than usual.

Fan Carlo: That’s just how much Adra is hoping to get out of Sissia.

Chance: But I’m catching the flack and forced to join their rigorous training, too!

Training ends

Adra: All right, let’s take a break!

Sissia: Hahh! Thank you so much, Mr. Adra!

Adra: You don’t need to call me ‘Mister’. No need to be so polite with me.

Adra: It’s about time you become a full member, too…

Sissia: Huh?

Adra: No, it’s nothing. Anyway, just address me casually.

Sissia: …Okay, Adra.

Chance: Great work Sissia! Wow, I can’t believe you can keep up with Adra!

Sissia: Oh no, not at all… Oh, that’s right!

Chance: Yeah, What’s up?

Sissia: Chance, when you have some time, I’d like you to teach me how to do your somersaults.

Chance: Hey, you’re not trying to steal all my acts, are you?

Isaac: Well, I’m sure they’ll cut our singing parts. What do you think, Carlo?

Fan Carlo: With Sissia with us, I’m sure they would.

Chance: Whoa! Crap! At this rate, Sissia’s going to take up all my acrobatics time out there…!

Sissia: Ahaha, your time won’t get cut. no one can fly as high as you.

Levi arrives and everyone gathers around him.

Levi: …Is everyone here?

Adra: Oh, what’s up, ringleader?

Levi: Crowley has something to discuss. Crowley?

Crowley: Yes, all right! This is about our next performance!

Crowley: We will have Sissia join our next production.

Sissia: …!

Chance: That means…!

Isaac: We’re going to bring Sissia in as an official member of Kielce, right?!

Crowley: Exactly!

Levi: It’s your first performance. Make sure to polish up your act and give it your all.

Adra: I’m looking forward to it. Let’s show everyone the fruits of your labor.

Sissia: Right!

◆Kielce Base

Levi: …All right, everyone go over your movements with each other

Adra: And be sure not to forget about practicing your group dances.

Chance: The new choreography’s got me so excited!

Fan Carlo: …Not me.

Crowley: Oh, my! Our singing princess is a bit cranky!

Isaac: The Central Nation of Kielce is made up of everyone here. I’ll be rooting for you all!

Adra: You’re performing too, Isaac.

Isaac: Ah, ahaha…

Sissia: …I can’t wait. I get to dance with everyone.

Sissia: I’ve admired everyone for so long.

Chance: Why did you want to join the Central Nation of Kielce, Sissia?

Sissia: I… saw the Central Nation of Kielce’s performance held at the border.

Chance: …I’m so jealous, Sissia! You got to see the ‘Border Performance’!

Fan Carlo: The ‘Border Performance’… The production that takes place atop the border wall between the nameless slave country and the Arbine Nation.

Isaac: I also saw it a long time ago.

Isaac: …So, seeing that was what made you want to join?

Sissia: Yeah, that’s right.

Sissia: Everything was so bright and dazzling, and everyone was so full of hope.

Sissia: I want to stand there someday, too… I want to sing and dance and act with everyone…!

Sissia: ‘We are the Central Nation of Kielce! Is everyone ready for some twisted fun?!’

Sissia: It’s that.

Sissia: To me, the Central Nation of Kielce is my entire life.

Chance: I see…

Chance: I didn’t watch that performance, but I’ve heard rumors about it!

Adra: You were impressed by the rumors and joined because of them, didn’t you Chance?

Crowley: Sure takes me back, the ‘Border Performance’.

Levi: …Yeah.

Chance: Tell us more about what happened!

Chance: I’m in Kielce now, but I’ve never really heard the story!

Adra: We caused a bit of trouble, didn’t we? We were seen as a group with treasonous intentions.

Crowley: Thanks to that, we’re still being watched by Arbine’s military officials like Adra’s father.

Levi: …You know of the relationship between the Arbine Nation and Quatra,, right?

Chance: Quatra… You mean the ‘nameless’ servant country?

Fan Carlo: The Quatra Republic was the name of the country before it was taken away.

Levi: The 77-year-long war between the Arbine Nation and the Quatra Republic ended with victory for Arbine 20 years ago.

Levi: Ever since, Arbine has closed off the Quatra Republic within those walls and taken its name away, making it the nameless country.

Levi: The citizens of the Republic became servants and have a tattoo called the ‘Quatral’ etched into them.

Crowley: It’s proof of their subjugation. They’re made to work like horses for Arbine.

Sissia: …

Chance: I dunno…

Chance: I’m not one to talk, not having studied much about history, or society…

Chance: But being excited and happy are feelings we all have, so everyone should just share that with everyone else.

Levi: …You’re exactly right.

Levi: Singing, acting, and dancing… I feel those are things that anyone from any nation can enjoy.

Levi: The only ones in Arbine who can show that is the Central Nation of Kielce.

Adra: …Yeah

Sissia: …

Sissia: That anyone from any nation… can enjoy…

Blackout

Pause

Finishing rehearsals, Sissia takes a break in a private room.

Sissia washes her [sic] bare legs.

Pitch black.

Sissia: Hahh…

Sissia: I need to soak my feet…

Sissia: …

As Sissia washes a leg even further, makeup comes off, revealing a tattoo in the shape of a horse on Sissia’s left shin, the sign that this person is a Quatra, a servant citizen.

Sissia: My leg… This tattoo I hide with makeup…

Sissia: The Quatra… must bear the mark of servitude, the Quatral.

Sissia: I want to appear in the Border Performance. For that…

(3) The Quatral of the Servant Nation

◆National Standing Theater

Sissia: …Another morning begins for the Central Nation of Kielce!

Cheers.

A performance is held on a dazzling stage by the members of the Central Nation of Kielce. The audience is at full Capacity.

Sissia is one of the members performing as well.

★Dance “Kielce the Nation at the Center”

Audience: Wowww!

Audience: Sissia! Sissiaaa!!! That was amazing!

Sissia: Thank you…!

Sissia: I’m so glad… Everyone enjoyed the performance today, too!

Levi: Good day to you all!

◆Break Room

Adra: Sissia, you’ve gotten pretty used to being onstage now. My spot as the star of Kielce might be in danger.

Sissia: Oh, no! I’m still trying hard to catch up with everyone!

Crowley: No, no you really ARE something!

Chance: You’re completely in sync with me and my jumps!

Fan Carlo: The songs… have much more depth to it now that you’re here, so that’s a big help.

Isaac: It seems like you’re fitting in well with all the different moving parts. Really…

Levi: Looks like the Central Nation of Kielce has finally found its ‘gear’.

Sissia: Its… ‘gear’?

Adra: Kielce is a bit fragmented.

Crowley: Even if you have solid parts, a machine won’t run if you just place them next to each other, right?

Crowley: You may be the very one who can connect those parts together!

Sissia: Oh, no…That’s much too kind of you, but…

Sissia: I’m so happy to hear it!

Chance: Heh heh. Well, we’ve found our ‘gear’ now! How about we all celebrate with a meal? What do you say, Isaac?!

Isaac: I’d like some steak from an Aibee cow.

Adra: Do goats eat beef? In any case, I’m getting pretty hungry myself.

Fan Carlo: I guess… it can be nice on occasion.

Crowley: I mean, we had a big audience today, right? How about it, ringleader?

Levi: …Stomachs of the Central Nation of Kielce. Are you ready for dinner?

Everyone: Yeah!!!

◆Market Street

The members are satisfied after their meal.

Chance: I ate so much!!!

Sissia: That was good… That was the first time I had meat like that!

Crowley: It was such a generous portion broiled to perfection!

Fan Carlo: Phew… I think I’d prefer not to see any animals with horns for a while.

Isaac: Huh? Are you talking about me?

Adra: We’ll bring everyone back here sometime. Okay?

Levi: Yeah.

Chance: All right! I wonder what I should get next time!

A loud bang is heard.

An old man is being beaten with batons in the middle of the street.

Other citizens crowd around and watch, murmuring to themselves.

Sissia: …?!

Old Man: A-Aaah…! Spare me…

Patrol Officer: You, horse! Do you even know what you’ve done?!

The Quatral is the tattoo of a horse, with ‘horse’ used as slander to refer to a member of the servant country.

Sissia: …!

Isaac: That’s…

Chance: Hey, what do you think you’re doing! Hey, you!

Adra: Chance!

Patrol Officer: What’s your problem!

Old Man: Y-you’re…!

Chance: I’m Chance Orlando of the Central Nation of Kielce! Why are you hurting this old man…?

Patrol Officer: The Central Nation of Kielce? Hmph, that makes sense.

Patrol Officer: I’ll show you the reason why he’s being beaten! …Look at this!

A tattoo of a horse drawn on the man’s left shin is shown.

Fan Carlo: A tattoo of a horse on the shin of his left leg…

Crowley: A Quatral… So he’s…

Levi: …

Patrol Officer: He’s a citizen who escaped from the nameless country into the Arbine Nation!

Patrol Officer: Fleeing your country is a serious crime! We’ll deport you and sentence you to heavy labor, perhaps even death!

Sissia: …

Chance: Well, there’s no need to do THIS, is there?!

Crowley: Right! What’ll happen if you kill him?

Crowley: Isn’t it also a serious crime to kill anyone, regardless of where they’re from?

Patrol Officer: …Urk! Shut it! I can arrest you for treason, you know?!

Crowley: What did you say?! We have the son of one of your superiors here, you know?!

Crowley: The son of the trusted confidant of the commander and king. The aristocrat, Major Azur Hybird!!

Adra: …Crowley. Stop using my father’s name to get us out of trouble.

Adra: …But, oh well. Would you mind treating him carefully?

Adra: I’ll be sure to tell my father, Major Azur Hybird, that you were real nice to me.

Patrol Officer: …

Fan Carlo: It could be an opportunity to get promoted, underling.

Patrol Officer: Urgh…!

Patrol Officer: How merciful of the Central Nation of Kielce to pity him, after being the very ones who encouraged is crime in the first place!

Levi: …What do you mean?

Patrol Officer: He fled the servant country in order to see your performances!

Levi: …!

Patrol Officer: And the reason he did that was apparently because he saw your ridiculous Border Performance!

Crowley: Our Border Performance…

Patrol Officer: That’s right! Other members of the audience found them sneaking in to watch the play, and did their civic duty in reporting it to us!

Patrol Officer: How’s that?! How’s it feel to be an accomplice to his crime?!

Patrol Officer: This ‘Border Performance’ of yours is pathetic! Singing and dancing on top of the wall is nothing short of rebellion!

Patrol Officer: You all should have held your performances on a proper stage! Your little shows are nothing but boorish spectacles.

Sissia: …Rrgh!

Patrol Officer: Aagh!

Sound of the patrol officer being hit.

Sound of the patrol officer hitting the ground.

Patrol Officer: …?!

Chance: Sissia just…

Isaac: Hit that patrol officer…?!

Patrol Officer: Agck…

Patrol Officer: Why, you…!

Sissia: …

Sissia: …Our shows aren’t boorish spectacles.

Sissia: Don’t ridicule my dreams.

Citizen: …

Patrol Officer: Urgh…

Patrol Officer: Wh-Why, you…! I’ll arrest all of you!!

Citizen: That’s enough from you!

Sound of rocks being thrown.

Patrol Officer: Ow…! Rocks?!

Sissia: The people around us started throwing rocks…?!

Sound of rocks being thrown one after another.

Patrol Officer: Wh-What do you think you’re doing?!

Citizen: Shut up already! Listening to those guys from Kielce is way better than listening to you!

The citizens in the area come to protect Kielce and jeer at the patrol officer.

Patrol Officer: You little… Agh, stop throwing those rocks! Damn it!

The patrol officer runs away.

Sound of footsteps running away.

Citizen: Haha, that patrol officer ran away!

Citizen: Take that!

Citizen: He was always so arrogant. I never liked that guy!

Chance: Everyone…!

Levi: Heh, I didn’t expect them to come to our rescue.

Sissia: …Are you all right, sir?

Old Man: Ah… Thank you so much.

Old Man: I came from Quatra since I wanted to watch you all just one more time…!

Crowley: Did you enjoy our performance, good sir?

Old Man: Yes, absolutely…! It was a wonderful performance. Now I can pass on without any regret…

Adra: Don’t say that, old man. You got a lot to live for…

Major Azur: …So this is it. The place where some traitors have gathered to protect a fugitive.

Cutting through the people, Major Azur Hybird approaches.

The father of Adra and a military aristocrat.

Adra: …!

Citizen: It… It’s Major Azur…!

Citizen: The closest confidant of the commander and king, the strategist of Arbine…

Adra: Father…

Patrol Officer: It’s those guys, Major…!

Major Azur: Traitors who protected a fugitive… Did everyone here participate?

Citizen: …!

The citizens flee the scene in all directions.

Adra: …

Major Azur: …To think I’d see you here, Adra.

Major Azur: And the other clowns of Kielce.

Levi: …

Crowley: Oh, good day to you, Major!

Major Azur: Levi, Crowley. Every time I see you, I’m reminded of the Border Performance.

Major Azur: And of all the commotion you all caused atop the border wall between Arbine and the nameless country.

Major Azur: Ever since that day, the commander and king has pushed to imprison everyone in the Central Nation of Kielce.

Crowley: Oh my… We must thank the commander and king of Arbine for such kind sentiments.

Major Azur: …Hmph. You too, Adra. Even my own flesh and blood won’t be spared in charges of treason.

Major Azur: Soldiers. Take away the horse that escaped.

Guard: Yes, sir! Come on, you.

Old Man: Augh.

The old man gets taken away.

Sissia: Sir…!

Guard: Get out of the way!

Sound of Sissia getting knocked back.

Sissia: …Urk!

Sissia: Rrgh…!

Sissia: …

Chance: …Hey, what the hell do you think you’re doing?!

Fan Carlo: Chance! Not now… Not now…

Chance: …Urk!

Old Man: All of you from Kielce…

Old Man: I promise I will never forget the brilliance of your performance today, or your kindness…

Isaac: Old man…

Guard: Move, horse!

Old Man: …

Old Man: …Weee, aaare, the Central Nation of Kielce!

Guard: …?!

Sissia: …

Sissia: Is…

Sissia: Is everyone ready for some twisted fun?!

Old Man: Hahaha…

Guard: M-Move!

Sissia: Old man…!

Major Azur: …

Azur senses something from Sissia.

Though the tattoo on Sissia’s left shin is covered with makeup, he knows of cases in the past where Quatra have hidden their tattoos in the same way.

However, all he has now is a feeling.

Patrol Officer: Heh… You’d better not disrespect the military anymore!

Chance: Why, that little…

Major Azur: Soldiers, arrest that patrol officer as well.

Patrol Officer: …?!

Chance: Huh…?

Major Azur: Of course he’ll be arrested. He committed the serious crime of fleeing the scene with a fugitive in front of him. A serious punishment awaits.

Patrol Officer: N-No…

Major Azur: We’re heading back.

The troops leave.

Sounds of footsteps leaving.

Chance: Damn it! They have no respect for the people…

Isaac: Chance… it pains me to say it, but in this country, that’s the right way for an Arbine to be.

Chance: But that’s just…!

Sissia: …Can we still do the Border Performance?

Chance: …Huh?

Isaac: The Border Performance…

Fan Carlo: You mean another show…?

Sissia: …

Sissia: It was my dream… to join Kielce and perform onstage with everyone.

Sissia: I had such an amazing time… and this place has just been a dream come true…

Sissia: But there’s more to this country than the fun and the beautiful.

Sissia: Some people tyrannize others, and the scars of war remain even now…

Sissia: I…

Sissia: I believe in the strength of theater.

Sissia: I believe in everyone’s strength.

Sissia: It’s powerful enough to inspire a single person to get this far as a result.

Levi: …

Adra: …

Sissia: So…

Sissia: So…!

Chance: I’ve changed, too.

Sissia: …!

Chance: I’m the same as you, Sissia. I’ve come all this way because I admired the Central Nation of Kielce.

Chance: No matter how much I’ve wrecked my body for this troupe… I kept practicing.

Chance: In fact, I might have done all that just for this moment.

Chance: I want to do it, too. The Border Performance.

Chance: My fate lies with the Central Nation of Kielce!!!

Isaac: Don’t leave me behind, Chance.

Isaac: …I came here because I admired Kielce, too.

Isaac: In the past, I watched the Border Performance with someone.

Sissia: …!

Isaac: That person… was someone dear to me.

Isaac: We made a promise. That we would be in the Border Performance together in the Central Nation of Kielce one day.

Isaac: I want to fulfill that promise.

Sissia: Isaac…

Fan Carlo: Hahh… Our newbies really are nothing but spirit.

Fan Carlo: We can’t really put on a great show without our singing princess.

Fan Carlo: You need my voice for the Border Performance, right?

Sissia: Carlo…!

Adra: Wow… You all, really…

Adra: …Come up with the best ideas!

Sissia: Adra…!

Adra: Our newbies believe in the Central Nation of Kielce more than we do…

Adra: …So, how about it? Levi, Crowley!!!

Crowley: Sorry, I’m too busy planning the performance in my head already…!

Levi: …It’s the duty of the ringleader to grant everyone’s wishes.

Sissia: Levi… Crowley…

Levi: …

Levi: …The Central Nation of Kielce is a place that inspires others to dream.

Levi: Let’s make everyone’s dreams come true.

Levi: …Let’s do the Border Performance.

Sissia: …!!!

Sissia: Thank you… so much!!!

Sissia: Thank you all…

Sissia: …

Sissia: …The next performance for the Central Nation of Kielce will be…

Sissia: The Border Performance!

Everyone: Yeaah!

(4) The Military Nation

◆Training Room

The Kielce members are all focused on working towards the Border Performance.

Crowley: All right, and here’s the big fight! We need more dynamic movement!

Adra: Don’t forget the details! Feel the movements all the way to your fingertips!

Sissia: Our seniors really are amazing…!

Chance: I can practically feel their enthusiasm radiating!

Isaac: It’s painfully clear how much they’re betting on this performance…

Fan Carlo: We can’t let those efforts be in vain. I’ll be training you all hard for the singing, too.

Chance: Aaugh, looks like I’m not getting any sleep tonight, either!

Levi arrives at the training grounds.

Levi: Everyone, gather around.

Crowley: A quick break! Are we talking about what I think we are, Levi?

Levi: Yeah. I’d like there to be two lead roles for the Border Performance. [[this line is in this script too I didn’t just forget to change it]]

Crowley: It’s a story about a fugitive, seeking asylum elsewhere! Here, the script!

Crowley: A story of this person with broken wings who comes to a theater troupe in a country with closed borders.

Sissia: Broken wings…? A theater troupe…

Levi: The Winged One is chased by the officials of the country… The theater troupe gives them refuge.

Levi: The Winged One is pure and beautiful, and loved by everyone in the troupe.

Adra: However, the Winged One is captured by the officials. The members of the troupe risk their lives to bring them back. However….

Sissia: In doing so, the troupe members are cornered, and in order to save them…

Sissia: The Winged One exchanges their own life to open a path for escape…

Sissia: The story is a tragedy…

Isaac: But it’s as if this is…

Chance: The story is based on Arbine and Quatra.

Crowley: Heh heh, that’s right! That’s the idea behind the Border Performance!

Crowley: On top of all that, there’s a giant bomb hidden in this performance. I’m sure you’ll all understand once we get into the singing rehearsals.

Chance: A bomb?! I wonder what it is… Aagh, I’m so excited!

Sissia: …Um, who will be playing the leads?

Levi: …Who else but you?

Sissia: …!!!

Adra: The words you said to that Arbine soldier…

Adra: That’s what lit the fire within all of us in Kielce.

Crowley: The script is already written. Sissia, this is your story.

Chance: This is a performance where you’ll be at the center.

Fan Carlo: I’ll lend you my voice as well.

Isaac: We’ll all work together.

Levi: …Can we ask this of you?

Sissia: …

Sissa: …Yes!!!

Blackout

◆National Standing Theater

Chance: …Kielce sure has changed ever since you arrived, Sissia.

Sissia: Huh? Really?

Chance: Adra’s even more strict during practice.

Adra: Sorry. But because of that, I think you all have gotten a lot better, including you, Chance.

Chance: Fan Carlo’s talking with everyone much more often, too.

Fan Carlo: …Really?

Fan Carlo: Well, that’s just because there’s so much to teach all these newbies.

Chance: And…

Chance: I feel like Isaac’s always telling an extra joke or two these days.

Isaac: Nothing wrong with that, is there?

Chance: Nope, not at all!

Chance: I feel the spirit of competition now that someone as experienced as I am is here!

Chance: And Sissia’s got so much talent, too!

Crowley: That’s why we were asking for prospective members in the first place, after all.

Levi: Right. Even with the Central Nation of Kielce’s outstanding individual talents, we were just a box with toys scattered about inside.

Adra: We wanted someone who could connect all of us together.

Adra: You’re not only good at singing, Sissia, but you can dance and act…

Adra: You approach all the members and guide them to better directions.

Crowley: Right, just like a real ‘gear’.

Sissia: That can’t be…

Levi: Seeing those parts of you was the last push we needed to make this second showing of the Border Performance.

Levi: I’m sure it’s a lot of pressure for a newbie to perform in a lead role, but…

Levi: We’ll support you.

Levi: So please, I ask that you support the Central Nation of Kielce in return.

Sissia: …Yes.

Sissia: It would be my honor.

Blackout

◆National Standing Theater

A sudden change in mood as an ominous aura envelopes Kielce.

Sounds of murmuring.

Levi: …What is it?

Isaac: …It’s the officials.

Major Azur: …Levi, Crowley.

Crowley: Well, we sure have been seeing a lot of each other lately.

Levi: Did you need something?

Major Azur: Don’t be so defensive. We’re only here for a simple questioning.

Adra: …About what?

Major Azur: I want to know the contents of your next performance.

Adra: …!

Crowley: Oh? Have you been bitten by the theater bug?

Major Azur: No. I have not the least bit of interest, but it seems it’s drawn the attention of the citizens of the Arbine Nation.

Major Azur: As a servant of our commander and king, I wish to know what sort of performance is being planned.

Isaac: We’ll be doing a really fun play.

Chance: R-Right! Like with…puppets. That sort of thing!

Fan Carlo: …Even a ‘puppet show’ is out of the question now.

Major Azur: …

Major Azur: Confiscate everything on the premises!

Sissia: No…

Crowley: How tragic! We won’t be able to hold our performance like this!

Crowley: I trust you’ll be issuing refunds for all the tickets we already sold, Major?

Major Azur: Not to worry. We have but one purpose.

Sissia: What do you…?

Guard: Major Azur! It’s here, the script!

Sissia: …!!!

Major Azur: …Hmph. Pretty provocative for a puppet show, don’t you think?

Major Azur: I think we need to investigate further. We’ll be taking all the scripts here.

Chance: Without our scripts, we can’t practice for the performance…! I haven’t even memorized all my lines yet!

Isaac: Chance, I think it’s a bit late for that…

Levi: …Crowley, what about the original?

Crowley: No use. They swiped it right away. Should’ve expected as much from Adra’s father.

Adra: Yeah, really unfair…!

Major Azur: Really, I have no idea why our citizens wish to see such a clown show.

Sissia: …

Sissia: … I’d like to ask you something, Major!

Levi: …!!!

Major Azur: …What is it?

Sissia: …Have you ever seen a performance by our troupe?!

Major Azur: I have not.

Sissia: Then…

Sissia: We’ll show you one!

Sissia: Watch! This is a special Kielce dance!

Sissia starts singing and dancing. Major Azur stands confused.

Major Azur: …Hey, stop twirling around me!

Sissia: La-la…

Major Azur: Stop! Don’t sing! What are you doing?!

Sissia: You just said you’ve never seen a performance before, so I wanted to give you a glimpse of how fun they are!

Sissia: Right, everyone?!

Levi: …Heh.

Levi: Are you ready for some twisted fun, Major?!

Major Azur: …?!

Chance: H-Huh?!

Crowley: Ah, that’s the way!

Isaac: Sing, dance!

Adra: …So that’s the idea.

Fan Carlo: Are you serious…? I’m not responsible for whatever happens next!

Everyone bursts into song and dance.

Guard A: W-Wha-! The members of Kielce started a show around us…!

Guard B: B-But it’s amazing…

Sissia: …Now’s my chance!

Major Azur: …Enough! Stop this at once!

Major Azur: That’s an order! Or you’re all under arrest!

Crowley: All right, stop!

Chance: Sir!

Isaac: We were just getting started, too.

Fan Carlo: I had finally gotten warmed up.

Adra: You done yet, Father?

Levi: I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

Major Azur: Hardly! How ridiculous!

Within the confusion, one of the scripts was taken back by Kielce.

Major Azur: We’ve confiscated all the scripts, right? Let’s go!

Sissia: …

Sissia sighs with relief.

Major Azur: Come to think of it…

Sissia: Huh?

Major Azur: You have an eastern accent.

Major Azur: Where are you from?

Sissia: I…

Major Azur: Show me your leg.

Sissia: …!

Sissia: …Why would you want to see that? I’m sure it wouldn’t be very appealing.

Major Azur: …Don’t misunderstand. This is an inspection. Show me your left shin.

Sissia: …

Sissia shows her [sic] leg as directed. Her skin shows no sign of a tattoo.

Chance: There’s nothing there!

Major Azur: …

Major Azur: Let’s go.

Chance: H-hey!

Levi: …They’re gone.

Adra: Jeez, they sure made a mess of things…

Chance: …Ah wait, the scripts!

Sissia: Here you go.

Isaac: A script…!

Sissia pulls out a script from underneath her [sic] clothes.

Sissia: …I only got one, though.

Adra: You took advantage of the chaos and got it back.

Crowley: My, that was some quick thinking. How very fun.

Levi: As long as we have this, we can still hold the Border Performance.

Chance: Man, I didn’t have any of the program memorized! I’m so glad the script is back!

Fan Carlo: …The fact that you said that is even scarier.

Chance: And what was that last bit about? Having Sissia show him a leg!

Chance: It’s like Sissia’s…

Sissia: …

Levi: …

Adra: Right.

Fan Carlo: …

Isaac: But there’s no Quatral there.

Chance: Y-Yeah. It’s no problem if you don’t have that ‘koala-troll’.

Sissia: …!

Sissia: I…!

Levi: You are the Central Nation of Sissia. That’s all there is to it.

Sissia: …!

Adra: …Even if you come from a country far, far away, all that means is you’re a new flavor, right?

Fan Carlo: …An accent just makes you interesting.

Crowley: Yeah, it’s fine! We’ve all seen how much you’ve worked!

Chance: You don’t have to say anything!

Isaac: All you need to do is get up on the stage. Right?

Sissia: Everyone…

Sissia: …Thank you.

Blackout

◆Town at Night

Aide: …Major. About that Kielce member named Sissia…

Major Azur: That was oil make up made out of dried fat of an Aibee cow. One would have to soak their leg in hot water to melt the cow fat or it won’t come off.

Major Azur: At a glance, you won’t notice at all, but there’s a slight thickness to it. My eyes cannot be fooled.

Major Azur: That one is a fugitive.

Aide: Then, shouldn’t we have just arrested the fugitive on the spot?

Major Azur: You’ve seen them in town, too. Year after year there are more servant citizens fleeing their country.

Major Azur: Simple patrols are far too ineffective to take care of them. We’ll need to make an example of the Central Nation of Kielce and that fugitive.

Aide: …What do you mean?

Major Azur: What do you think of using a fugitive’s corpse to adorn the very wall the servant citizens climb over?

Major Azur: We can certainly open fire on them once any of the members of Kielce climb the wall.

Aide: Major, you’re so…

Aide: If we do that, I’m sure this would alleviate another worry from our commander and king.

Major Azur: That is our duty and purpose in being here.

Major Azur: The wall will be the grandest tombstone for any servant citizens who cross the border.

Major Azur: Hahahahaha…!

(5) The Central Nation of Sissia

Cheers

◆Border Proximity (Arbine Side)

Arbine Citizen: Hey, what’s that?! Some people are climbing the wall!

Arbine Citizen: It’s Kielce! It’s the Central Nation of Kielce!

Arbine Citizen: You don’t know? They’re about to do their Border Performance!

◆Border Proximity (Quatra Side)

Quatran Child: What’s the Border Performance?

Quatran Mother: Your mother saw it long ago as a young girl… It was like being in a dream!

Quatran Elder: I never thought we’d have such entertainment in these days of forced labor…

◆On top of the Border Wall (About 50m high)

The members have just finished climbing.

Kielce Member: Wow…

Kielce Member: We’re finally here…

Adra: … This sight sure takes me back.

Levi: Yeah.

Crowley: Hahaha! How have you been, little wall?! It’s like you’re a part of our origins!

Chance: Whoa… It’s taller than I thought!

Isaac: We’re really going to do it… here!

Sissia: …Urk.

Sissia: …This is the top of the border wall.

Sissia: The wall that separates Arbine and Quatra.

Sissia: You can see both countries from end to end.

Sissia: The town I grew up in…

Sissia: Is that the Central Nation of Kielce’s standing theater?

Sissia: …The wind feels nice.

Sissia: And even further is… an ocean?

Sissia: The mountains are over there…!

Sissia: The sky is still so far…

Sissia: I’m so… small.

Sissia: I’m standing here now… in the place I dreamed about!

◆Observation Tower Some Distance Away

Aide: Major, they look like they’re about to start.

Major Azur: The sniper will need some more time to prepare. Let them start.

◆On top of the Border Wall

Crowley: Now then… Are we all ready?!

Kielce Member: Yeaaah!

Kielce Member: Ready anytime!

Levi: …Let’s begin, everyone.

Crowley: Goat-headed Isaac! The prologue, if you will!

Isaac: …

Isaac: …Right!

The crowd stirs.

The crowd cheers at the appearance of Isaac wearing his goat head.

Isaac: Welcome, one and all, to the theater of the Central Nation of Kielce! I am the goat-headed Isaac!

Isaac: …What’s that? ‘Where is the theater?’ you ask? We are THE Central Nation of Kielce, you know!

Isaac: Wherever we sing and dance, be it a shoddy castle, a lounge, or a chapel haunted by ghosts!

Isaac: Even a place like Pontartia is our stage! Oh rama Kielce!

Laughs from the citizens.

Isaac: Now, let’s start the show before the officials arrive! We will now present to you a tragedy between two nations!

Isaac: The Winged One stripped of their feathers! The troupe that loves them dearly! And the tragic fate that awaits them all…!

Isaac: We have high-flying, dazzling acrobats and enchanting dancers!

Isaac: We have the most beautiful singing voice in all of Arbine… No, in all the world! And a magician who weaves his story as he stands upon the stage!

Isaac: Our gorgeous ringleader who leads us all! Oh, and I, who issued from the loins of a goat…

Laughter from the crowd.

Isaac: And with the beautiful ‘gear’ of the Central Nation of Kielce, we will take you all to a fantastic dream world.

Footsteps stopping.

The members of Kielce are all lined up together.

Crowley: Now’s the time to forget the time.

Sound of fireworks.

Everyone: We are the Central Nation of Kielce!

Sissia: Is everyone ready for some twisted fun?!

Sissia: Prepare to step into a wonderful dream!

The crowd cheers in response.

★Dance “Quartz Anima”

The crowd continues to cheer.

Audience: Central Nation of Kielce!

Audience: That was amazing!

Isaac: Everyone’s so happy…!

Chance: Heh heh, they’re all excited, no matter which country they’re from…!

Fan Carlo: I never knew singing could reach people like this…

Adra: Haha, in your face… In your face!

Crowley: Now then, it’s finally time for the climax!

Levi: We’re counting on you. Sissia…!

◆Night Sky

Sissia: …Quatra, the place where I was born and raised.

Sissia: …Arbine, the place so precious to me, where the Central Nation of Kielce is.

Sissia: It’s strange.

Sissia: These two countries divided by a wall…

Sissia: The people, burdened with sadness and anger…

Sissia: To otherwise be so close to one another.

Sissia: I’m sure its true…

Sissia: That their people, their animals, their love and hatred, their men and women, their rich, their living, their dead…

Sissia: To live out the entirety of their lives so close to each other.

Sissia: And you can’t see that until you climb this high up…

Sissia: …It’s obvious no one could see that.

Sissia: But now that I’m here…

Sissia: My voice can reach them if I only speak loud enough.

Sissia: Both of these nations.

Sissia: The feelings of the Central Nation of Kielce… My own dreams, as well as everyone else’s…

Sissia: I…

Sissia: …

Sissia: Everyone…

Sissia: Watch me…!!!

Sound of a gunshot.

A sniper bullet strikes Sissia.

Sound of Sissia falling to the ground.

◆Observation Tower Some Distance Away

Major Azur: …Did you hit the target?

Sniper: I’ve pierced a lung.

Sniper: …I’m sure they’ll die soon enough.

◆Border Wall (Arbine Side)

Startled murmurs.

Spectator: What’s wrong…? They stopped.

Spectator: Show us the rest!

◆Border Wall (Quatra Side)

Spectator: Did one of the lead actors die?

Spectator: It’s part of the act, right? I’m… sure…

◆On the Border Wall

Crowley: …

Isaac: Sissia…?

Levi: …

Levi: …!!!

Levi starts to run forward.

Adra: Levi!!!

Adra: Don’t! You can’t just run out there…!

Levi: Let me go!!!

Levi: Let me…go! Adra…!!!

Adra: Crowley, is there anything we can do?!

Crowley: …Rgh…

Adra: Anything at all?!

Chance: …S-Sissia…?

Chance: No… No it can’t be… Sissia… Sissia!!!

Chance: Being in the Border Performance… That was your dream, right…?!

Chance: Sissia!!!

Isaac: …Rrgh.

Crowley: …Everyone, stay here.

Isaac: No!!!

Isaac: If no one else will go, then I will!!!

Crowley: No!!!

Isaac: I said I’m not waiting here!!!

Crowley: Sissia…!!!

Crowley: So what happens… to what Sissia wants…?!

Isaac: …!!!

Fan Carlo: What Sissia… wants…

Fan Carlo: Sissia…

Fan Carlo: Sissia… wants to sing… Isaac.

Isaac: …That’s just…

Isaac: So unfair…

Fan Carlo: …Yeah, it is…

Fan Carlo: All of this is…

◆Night Sky

Sissia: Hahh… Sissia: Hah…Agh… Sissia: Rrh… Urrrgh… Sissia: Hahh… Hahh… Sissia: …I was… shot… Sissia: From there… Sissia: …Urgh… Sissia: Every…one… Sissia: Don’t… come close… Sissia: it’s not… over yet… Sissia: Yeah… Sissia: It’s still… Sissia: …Still… Sissia: …It’s still not over yet… Sissia: Rrgh…!!! Sissia: Aaaaaaaagh!!

◆Border Wall (Arbine Side)

Startled murmurs.

Spectator: They stood up…! But… they look like they’re in pain…

Spectator: …That sound earlier… Wait, were they shot…?!

◆Border Wall (Quatra Side)

Spectator: But… they’re still moving forward…

Spectator: …In that state…?

◆On Top of the Border Wall

Levi: S-Sissia…

Adra: Sissia really is something else…

Crowley: …

Fan Carlo: …Rgh.

Chance: You… really are… just amazing…

Isaac: Sissia…

Levi: …

Levi: …Sing, Sissia.

Adra: …

Adra: …Keep going.

Crowley: You’re going to make your dream come true…

Fan Carlo: …It’s up to you.

Chance: Sissia, do it for us, too…

Isaac: …Sissia…

◆Night Sky

Sissia: Haah…! Hahh…!!! Sissia: Hahh… Sissia: …Rgh. Sissia: …

Sissia greets the cheering crowd.

Sissia: …

Sissia: This dream… is everything to me.

Sissia: For its sake…

Sissia: My body… My heart… My soul…

Sissia: I’ll give everything I have…!!!

Sissia: Please…

Sissia: …Let it reach them.

Sissia: …

Sissia: I will sing!!!

Sissia slowly stands back up.

There is no hesitation in Sissia’s eyes.

★ Song “Over the Wall”

◆Border Wall (Arbine Side)

Cheering

Arbinian: Yeah… Why are people talking about how two countries right next to each other are better or worse than the other?

Arbinian: It’s true that the war lasted so many years, and we wished that another would never take its place.

Arbinian: But… is this really what we wanted?

Arbinian: These ideas about borders and nameless servant countries are absurd. At this rate, Arbine’s just a nation built and ruled by discrimination!

Candidates: We’ve got tools!

Arbinian: …!!!

Mean Candidate: Let’s break through it! That blasted wall!!!

Arbinians: Yeaahh!

◆Border Wall (Quatra Side)

Loud thudding sounds that shake the wall.

Quatran: The wall, it’s…

Quatran: Shaking…?!

Quatran: Wait… Are they trying to break through the border wall?!

Quatran: The People of Arbine…? Why…?

Old Man Forced Into Heavy Labor: …It was that performer’s song.

Quatran: …!

Old man: That performer’s song must have touched the hearts of the people of Arbine…!!!

Old Man: Get anything you can! Bring any kind of tool you can find!!!

Old Man: We’ll tear down this wall… alongside the people of Arbine!!!

Quatran: Yeaahh!

◆Observation Tower

Loud thudding sounds that shake the wall.

Major Azur: The wall…!!!

Major Azur: Urk… What are the soldiers doing?! Capture the traitors!

Aide: W-We can’t… Their numbers… They vastly outnumber all of Arbine’s troops!

Major Azur: Urrgh…!!!

Major Azur: Curse you, Central Nation of Kieeelce!!!

The observation tower collapses in a loud crash.

Blackout

◆On Top of the Border Wall

Levi: …Sissia!!!

Crowley: …You really are… unbelievable…

Adra: You’re just, so…

Chance: Sissia…!!!

◆The Reddened Sky

Sissia: Everyone from Kielce…

Sissia: Thank you…

Sissia: I… could finally sing…

Sissia: …My dream… It came true…

Sissia: …I wonder if… anyone heard…

Sissia: I’m… sure of it…

Sissia: We worked so hard…

Sissia: …Aah, I…

Sissia: I’m just… so happy…

Sissia: The sky…

Sissia: …It’s pretty.

Sissia: …

Sissia: …Everyone…

Sissia: …Thank you…

Monologue

Sissia: After the destruction of the wall, the Arbine Nation collapsed from the combined efforts of the Quatrans and the Arbinians who supported them.

Sissia: The Arbine commander and king was captured with his officials, stripped of their powers, and became normal citizens.

Sissia: The nameless country’s 20-year servitude ended, and the former Nation of Arbine allied with the former Republic of Quatra.

Sissia: And with the collapsed border between them, the two countries became one.

Sissia: Levi Caineman, ringleader of the Central Nation of Kielce, invited people into the troupe from Arbine and Quatra without discrimination, and grew Kielce into an even larger troupe. He also continued to shine as a performer himself.

Sissia: Adra Hybird retired as a member of the Central Nation of Kielce and went out on a journey to wander the lands, learning the art of local dances in each place he visited. He returned to teach his former troupe members what he learned in order to help sharpen their skills.

Sissia: Though he was the illegitimate child of the commander and king of Arbine, Crowley Arbine asserted himself to the throne in order to help the Arbine Nation rebuild itself after its collapse. With the superb eloquence he had polished while in the Central Nation of Kielce and his perfect writing abilities, he helped the nation rebuild into a new kingdom. He continued as a benevolent king, and throughout his life, would lend ear to the citizens, and at times feel the need for a good prank.

Sissia: Fan Carlo Albus showed off her beautiful singing voice to its fullest as a songstress of the imperial court of the new nation, capturing the hearts of its people. Though reluctantly accepting her duties to teach singing to the nation’s new national choir, she contributed to the growth of the generations that followed her. Continuing to face the path of singing in earnest, even in her elder years her voice continues to stay as young as someone in their youth.

Sissia: Chance Orlando began to spread the skills he polished in Kielce to the citizens of the newly formed nation. Giving joy to the hearts of the people through song and dance, he united the hopes and hearts of the nation as one. Upon the establishment of the new nation, he served as a counsel to the king, both giving him advice, and spouting nonsense at other times.

Sissia: Isaac Bazmaz continued activities in easing intercultural tensions even after the new nation was formed. Performing as a clown to bring people joy, he created spaces for people to come together like Kielce had done in the past. people say that on occasion, he continues to visit the remains of the border wall, which serves as a grave for an old friend.

Sissa: In the collapse of the former nations and the rebuilding of a new one, the place that became the spiritual home of them all was named after the person whose sacrifice became the catalyst for a new beginning… And so, it was called the Central Nation of Sissia.

The End.
