lili considered herself to be a fair appreciator of the arts, though it wasn't something she indulged in too often outside of enjoying literature in her spare time. it fell into her lap easily regardless thanks to her mother; growing up listening to her viola playing, and even learning to play from her herself. when she was younger, she also accompanied her mother when she wanted to go to the theatre. she doesn’t remember much, but she remembers the way her heart felt warm at getting to spend time with her like this.
maybe it’s because of that long gone feeling that she takes a flyer from a k-arts student, advertising a performance the theatre department was holding soon. lili didn’t have much planned that day anyway, outside of continuing to study for her next exam. she could easily study earlier, and then head off to the campus later that day before the show began.
by the time the show was finished and the cast had their curtain call, lili found herself staying back along with a few other audience members to give her compliments. after speaking to some of the cast, she finally comes face to face with claudine. “hello– ah, you played the female lead, didn’t you?” she starts off, only to pause once she realizes who she was speaking to. “your performance was brilliant.”
she rummages in her purse for a second before holding up a pen and the performance’s program, looking back up at claudine with a polite smile. “if you don’t mind, could you sign this for me? the entire play was amazing, but i’d be lying if i said your character wasn’t my favorite.”
