In this short scene, the audience is introduced to a young woman named Anna, who has just returned from the theater. She has just arrived at the train station where the play is to take place, and she tells the audience that she is trapped in the station because she was cast as the lead in the play. She tells Anna that she has been working so hard to please the man who cast her in the role, and that she feels trapped because of him. She asks Anna to send a message to the station office, but she is unable to get a signal from the light at the station. She is also unable to communicate with anyone outside the station, because there is no signal. She begs Anna to help her escape through the station's light, but the girl refuses, saying that the flame of her life is still burning brightly
