New Thrills [Kou/Blitz]

It has been years since we have had a full functioning opera house. We lost many to the Games that we haven’t been able to have a full cast in years. A few of us still practice, and we still try to keep the house looking good, but getting singers is hard to do. Six has the attitude of academics, and of perusing mental strengths that the arts tend to be disregarded. It’s starting to get trying, trying to change the culture of a District. Even after tonight when we had some decent auditions, I’m just not sure that it is worth it anymore. I barely see the sun anymore since I’m in opera house before the sun rises and usually leaves after it set, and I think it’s starting to affect me. I always thought that vitamin-D deficiency was all just talk from the pretentious academics but maybe they were onto something. The sun is already gone when I’m walking home and I decide to cut my walk short by walking through some alleyways, which isn’t something I’m used to, which explains why I easily tripped on the roots and fall in my face, completely missing the person besides me.

“Oops I’m sorry,” I say. “I normally don’t go this way.”
