Summary
Ch 1: Act 1 through Olympia's eyes
"My father loves me because I am alive. My father loves my siblings less. He thinks they’re inanimate. Like stones. We share a room with one another, all 15 of us. They have to sleep on the floor. But I tell them that when I’m out rehearsing, and when Father is out, they’re allowed to be on the bed."
Ch 2: Act 1 through Cochenille's eyes
