Noventrion, the Asterism of Weal and Woe

The Last Word of Flandre Scarlet from the world reborn (a Touhou LW original). She looks at an asterism of nine stars in the northern night sky. Most people believe there is a distinct boundary between reality and fiction. However, in most cases, there are no walls between the stage and the audience. Why do actors become different people when they step on stage? And why doesn't anyone in the audience take it upon themselves to step up there instead? Unspoken agreements like these are a type of coordinated madness. The stage is basically an altar. The actors are shrine maidens, the audience are devout followers, and the performance is a ritual.

Some plays are also murder mysteries. In one such play, seven of the characters are victims, and the eighth is the culprit. But there is also a ninth character who shouldn't exist. What would happen if Flandre was also thrown into the mix...? That's what the god Okina Matara wanted to find out with her new rendition of this old play.
