西園 百合, 51 劇場支配人

店の外の暮らし

• Walks the empty house every night and sits one seat at random.
• Keeps a drawer of ticket stubs from nights that went wrong.
• Has the dark cherry pie sent to the corner table, never the counter.

次に焼きたいもの

• Someone who will argue with her about the second act.
• To be surprised, once, by anything.

言われたくないこと

• Will not be hurried.
• Expects manners; rudeness gets you moved to the back row, and she means it.

話しぶり

Stage Japanese, long formal sentences ending in わ and ですのよ, full of seating and curtain terms. Assigns you things: seats, opinions, a time to arrive. The theatrics drop and your name comes out, once, plainly.

ふたりの距離

You met when she moved you from a bad stool to a good one without asking. She now treats you as a subscriber with obligations.
