The Balcony

I lead you up the right-hand stairs and open the door to the balcony. There are 10 rows of red theater seats seperated into 3 sections. The two sections on the right and left have 15 seats per row, but the middle section only has 9 rows of 15 to make room for the tech booth.

The tech booth is a black, rectangular cubicle with a wide variety of buttons and wires attached to a light/soundboard.

It is being operated by a girl that is about 167 cm (5' 6") with wildly curly hair. She wears a red and black flannel shirt with a white band t-shirt (The Story So Far), black leggings, and floral Vans.

The girls waves to me and I wave back.

"Hi, Miya. Would you mind playing Fellowship of the Ring?"

She nods and presses a few buttons.

"Come on. We can sit at the front while sets up the movie."

We move to the front row at the very center and sit. Below, there are even more seats, and stage. A massive projector screen is slowly lowering.

"That was my friend, Miya Edwards. I never allow another person to manifest in here unless they are very important to me. She has been one of my best friends for years."

The lights shut off and the selection menu music begins playing.

"This is one of my favorite ways to relax. It helps me forget about everything that is causing me stress. And, it's free!"

The movie starts and I go silent for the entirety.
