Eventually, you push the doors open- and Mafuyu's song stops completely. It's a grand theater, with steps leading down to seating and then, the stage. Above, more misplaced things hang in strings, and shadowy figures sit in the audience, whispering fawning adoration of their perfect princess.
On the stage, Mafuyu hangs from more strings, dressed like a princess, a veil covering her face.
... Honestly. Even going so far as to intrude on the play...
[Arven shouts to her as he rushes in with the others. He knows not to do anything rash, but she's right there. It's so hard to not just summon Hestia to get rid of those strings.]
We're here, Mafuyu! Just hang in there, and we'll get you down!
[He's completely ignoring the voice of the queen.]
[Also running up onto the stage because she's the designated troublemaker, if she gets crucified for this maybe an enemy will be in sight for everyone else to take a shot at, or maybe she'll even be in position to take a swing personally- she doesn't really care which way it goes, so long as they can stop this.]
[ So many things about this are just so profoundly upsetting to Sunrise for some reason that she's not going to spare a single word. She is honest to goodness just going to walk down there. ]
Oh, he was not lying when he said he hates violence, but boy does that make him angry. He'll follow the rest of the group, though, and be here for backup. ]
[ Eli's followed the rest to the stage, hopping up to join them. He'll get into place to catch her if needed, assuming anyone tries cutting those strings. ]

The pressure to be perfect and flawless...it is immense. How could he not know it? Still, all the same, this is...
Argenti runs straight ahead to the stage, words failing him at first, but then as he reaches it, he speaks: ]
That is enough! People are not toys. Miss Mafuyu isn't your puppet.

I don't care for that woman's delusions of love for you. We'll help you.

But Yi Sang gets the feeling that he can't let the Queen see what he has.
