The motion culminates as CT travels across the stage and finds herself in the arms of her dance partner. A mask of thin filigree creates a strange optical illusion. She can see that it is Neil, if she looks closely, but if her eyes unfocus for a moment, the outline of his face disappears into the curling metal, gunmetal grey with a red stripe down the center. Brown eyes stare impassively from the eye openings as he pulls her into a waltz.
There is something joyful about it at first. Triumphant, free. But as the music they dance to continues, the broad motions become tighter. And with it, the stage. Props of space debris begin to crowd their space, and the two of them must take sharper turns to accommodate.
