Harmony of the Seven Spirits was a play about seven characters or spirits from Japanese folklore set in the feudal kingdoms of Japan.
The music was festive; the acting was deliberately exaggerated; and the atmosphere in the audience seats gave off the coziness of the countryside.
"It is a story about spirits, isn't it?" Averie casually said. "It deserves some dark mystique."
"That may not be what they want," Mr. Groux whispered. "The theme, the vision, the art direction, or whatever you would want to call it, could be something lighter."
Averie hummed. "Does it look like that to you?"
"Who am I to judge?"
"You are the spectator. You have every right to judge."
"But I am not the creator."

That was the biggest change Averie had noticed on his face since they met.
"Only the production's creator has the right to decide the theme. It is not my vision; how could I comment on something I do not understand?"
"And the actors?"
