I'd love to see what it's like behind the scenes later! I never was able to get a good look at how the tech would work in this world.

[Oren, standing ever so silently in the back catches her eye and it's as if they can see each others thought process crystal clear. She's trying, TRYING so hard not to ask other questions that would seem suspicious, but the set up is too good, too intriguing not to poke at. But it seems this time, in order for them to enjoy their time in Paris, her golem had warned her ahead of time to not step out of line like the last time.

Of course, Iona hides these frustrations, or rather overrides them with her genuine enjoyment of the performance and of the opera overall. She beams at Gus and then lets out a small, "Oh!" as she turns her attention back to the singer.]

I think she's about to hit the last note...?

[how does she know that--

But there's no time to really question that because Christine Daae's angelic voice begins to steadily climb higher and higher--

And it's nothing less than a grand finale. The audience stands up, roaring with applause, with Iona following their suit.

Even Oren claps in the background. Brava.]
