At this point, the play was nearing its end.

Jean only had one final task: she needed to “revive" in front of the audience, bringing the story to a perfect close.

The stage lights settled on her.

Jean lowered her gaze, expressionless.

Then suddenly- She smiled.

Lacey watched Jean nervously, afraid jean might mess up their ending.

As far as Lacey was concerned, her flawless performance meant they had the group award in the bag. There was even a strong chance she'd win Best Actress.

And if she did, Lacey could secure a future recommendadon for admission to the Empire Academy..

"What's going on?" People in the audience began murmuring in confusion.

"Isn't this the ssong the main character just sang?" "Yeah, it's a nice callback having the little tree sing it too. Pretty neat, I think.”

"No, that's not the point! Not only is this song identical, but their voices are literally exactly the same. The only difference is that one had music and one's singing it a cappella!” "How could two different people have precisely the svoice and singing style?" "Holy crap!" "Did they both lip-sync? Did they both use the srecorded audio?" "Either both were lip-syncing, or one was lip-syncing and the other is the real singer.
