Axel's Stage, to sum it up best.. it's an interstellar graveyard. It's eerily quiet, almost painfully so, and outside of it's inhabitant (Axel / The Scarred ) and the Negati.. the stage is empty.

Ophelia comes thru Equil's entrance to Wonderworld, the Studio Ephemeral, following a song that she both had and hadn't heard before, the night she was planning to kill herself. One last shot to re-evaluate things.

Vetter's at odds with the negative Maestra, wishing she could have been left in her stage to stagnate.

The side expressions are from different points in her storyline- for the lower two-

“Why don't you kill me then? It’d only be a homicide.” As soon as Ophelia stops speaking, Equil is mere centimeters away from her face.  “Is that truly what you crave? You would want me to send you to your grave?” Equil’s expression tightens into a grimace- much wider than a normal human’s. 

[insert banter between these two snippets]

“What happens if I still decide to go through with…  this, once I leave?”  “…My job is over once you leave the theatre’s doors. I can only advise you and nothing more.” There’s a small tinge of sadness in her voice. “…Has it happened before?” Equil does not answer, instead pulling her hat lower.

-She's intentionally rather clumsy, injuring herself rather often.

-Yes, her Wonderworld name is a reference to "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"

As a side thing, here's the current state of her fellow guests.

Pallid and Archivist start causing a shift in her mentality. Pallid, whose fate is sealed, despite having so much she wants to keep living for. (Finding this out, watching Equil speak with her results in expression 1)

Archivist, whose plans went perfectly... except for the overwhelming emptiness and guilt now plaguing it.

(As a side, Archivist's boss form nearly throws her off of the arena its in... a Ship, floating in an endlessly churning stormy sea. )
