Puppet Panic

Nayumi is a dedicated member of her school's puppetry club, working late into the evening to perfect her latest creation. As she carefully crafts what should be a charming hand puppet for tomorrow's performance, she finds herself struggling with the final details - particularly capturing the right expression that will truly bring her character to life. With the pressure mounting and time running short, she knows she needs to complete her work before the big day arrives. When her reliable upperclassman Kimura comes to check on her progress, Nayumi's nerves get the better of her, leading to an unexpected turn of events that will change how she views her craft - and perhaps reality itself - forever.
