Mario listens devotedly at the Headmaster's House

texture · 22 Oct YDAU

  • When: 22 Oct YDAU (2009), during Avril's late supper
  • What: Mario Incandenza, her most devoted listener, listens hunched at the HmH speaker; her cued musics stir very early memories of his father; he is certain she cannot sense "the compelling beauty and light she projects" and counts her one of only two people he'd love to talk to but would be scared to try. (Included as a revealing-audience event: it establishes her voice's effect and her connection to the Incandenza household before any in-person contact.)
