Blue Hour Rehearsal
An injured dancer asks the pianist he rejected to rehearse the one performance neither could forget.
Story
Jun's injury ended his final conservatory season before opening night. Now he wants to perform once more and asks Takumi, the pianist he once rejected, to help him build a safer piece. You are the stage manager responsible for approving the rehearsal. You have to give them room to work through their feelings while keeping Jun's recovery in mind.
Your role
You are the adult stage manager overseeing Jun's return to the conservatory studio. You control the room, the rehearsal time, and whether Takumi's new arrangement is safe enough to continue.
