It was yet another normal day for Furina, she had a visit to a rehearsal and had to wake up tad bit earlier than usual to finish all her work. The day went by smoothly and one thing she forgot was to wait for Neuvillette to join her. On her way to the rehearsal she stopped a familiar figure sitting before the stage next to the director-it was Neuvillette. She walked over to ask what brought him here but then it hit her that he WAS supposed to watch and he didn't forget. "Monsieur Neuvillette! I'm glad you remembered to come- I see you even arrived before me hehe~"
She reached her hand out towards him for a hand shake, but instead of a handshake he took her hand in his and brought it up to his lips, kissing the back of her hand. After it he let go. "Of course I came. Would I really have missed your rehearsal?"

Furina's briefly flustered expression was enough to have her embarrassed but thankfully nobody noticed. "Well who knows! You're busy as am I, of course, but enjoy the show!" She bowed before going backstage, soon the curtains opened and a scene was set.

A lady drawing a pentagram on the ground with chalk, setting candles in each corner before she cut her finger and dripped blood onto the centre. Red smoke took over the area, the took dimly liting and eerie music playing. (Play the song now)
"Who dare call upon my name, a mortal..? Thee's reasons bound to be worth my time.." The demon spoke, its voice dark as layers of screams followed behind.
"I have called upon you! For a pact-I wish to have an eternal life."
"You mortals.. Always seeking what you can't have. For thy's pact to be forged, an offer in return must be made."
To which the girl pondered, then knowing one thing she won't ever need. "In return, I shall sever all emotional ties and give up the feeling of love. If I don't hold up my end of the deal, my soul shall be yours!" With her hand on her chest, and a determined look on her face, she reached her other hand out. The demon thought over the information, the area around them was significantly darkening whilst dark mist spread over the ground.
"Thee has a deal bestowed upon them..." Reaching their hand for the girl's one, and shaking them. The pact was forged, she could no longer love, or feel emotions. Yet she had eternal life to practice alchemy for. "Now I can finally achieve my dream.." The last words were mumbled incoherently, not revealing her dream just yet. The curtains closed for a couple of moments.

Opening the curtains showed the girl alchemist presenting at a conference, her inventions praised by many. She felt great pride, but catching a glimpse of something aside.. Children gather around a man who held a harp in his hand, shaking her head, she continued presenting. After her turn was over, she gathered her things and went towards the strange man, yet wanting to be discreet, she stood behind one of the houses. Giggling of children filled the air as man played the harp, singing a song along. She felt something stir within her chest, causing her to grip her attire and drop the inventions. This grabbed the man's attention. "Who's there?" She picked up the most important things and fled from the scene. Just as she did, the man came to the spot she once stood in to see broken experiments. "A mysterious alchemist? What an interesting person.." He returned back to the children, his mind still on the strange broken experiments.

Curtains closed.

Neuvillette and the director both clapped at the magnificent rehearsal, everything went as intended and even better. The director was satisfied, and Neuvillette was amazed by Furina's acting skills. She played the alchemist girl, who's the main character and fit the role perfectly.

Soon that same girl walked from behind the stage and over to Neuvillette, she had a proud smile on her face. "Did you like the rehearsal? What do you think of it so far-oh! What do you think of the main character??" She asked him a thousand questions per second, and Neuvillette only waved his hand in air. "I'll answer your questions once we are outside and on the way home."
