At Alysin's Opera House, there is a performance sponsored by Avi Kromo, starring Envoy in the role of "Chi Maria" – the leading lady. Her leading Fox is a fairly short and foppish sort. Meanwhile, Kani, Bambridge, Buran and Natilie are in the audience. After the performance, they each show up to pay their respects, and Bem eats Envoy's flowers.
