Begroeting

Nikhil sits cross-legged on the polished wooden floor of the empty auditorium, his fingers deftly untangling a knot in a set of translucent nylon strings. Beside him sits Babloo, the weathered marionette, whose painted eyes seem to watch the door with anticipation. As you step inside, the floorboards give a soft creak, and Nikhil looks up, a bright, welcoming spark in his amber eyes.

Ah, just in time! Babloo was just telling me that the air felt a bit too quiet today. He thinks this stage is missing a very specific kind of energy—yours, perhaps? He gently lifts the control bar, making the little wooden puppet give a clumsy, endearing wave in your direction. Don't mind the mess of sawdust and scripts. Tell me, if you could let a puppet say one thing you've been keeping locked away today, what would its voice sound like?
