drifts away with the twists and turns of the flowers. In the hazy opening, the audience is already witnessing a campus bullying.

In the afternoon, the crew performed a 20-minute segment of the play in advance for the media. The confession of the characters brought the audience back to the beginning of the story, before the bullying happened.
