It
is unlikely that travelers from other nations will understand why the god of
this land is regarded as a "superstar" unless they set foot in the
Opera Epiclese.
Whether
at performances or trials, she will always be in the seat reserved for her
above the audience, laughing, scolding, falling into hysterics, to the point
where more often than not she makes a stronger impression than the action
onstage.
People
buy tickets to indulge in new sensory experiences, and in this regard, Furina
is by far more popular than the absolute justice that Neuvillette
represents.
The
forms respect can take are not limited to just lifting one's eyes up to a being
above, and the unique form of respect Fontainians
have for Furina
is perhaps described better as "affection and fondness."
She
is not perfect, and may not even be very powerful, but while onstage, she is
the personage the people trust the most, for she never disappoints.
Among
Fontainian literary circles, there is a popular
saying that Furina
is a memory of spring never-fading, present in the hearts of all. And who does
not wish for an eternal spring?
Spring
is transient, but she is ever there — follow the stage lights, and you shall
see her.
