Context
The stage is bare and the seats are empty. The theatre is deadly quiet. Left alone, the noble Ghostlight, the Curtain, and the Piano wonder what has happened to their beloved Alice. She has not arrived at the theatre as usual and there is a peculiar smell of hand sanitizer everywhere. The trio become increasingly desperate, fearing that they will be left alone forever. Even the cheery Ghostlight begins to lose faith.

PIANO
What is that?
CURTAIN
Someone didn鈥檛 put their prop away!
PIANO
I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 a prop, it doesn鈥檛 look very theatrical.

It says hand sanitizer. What does sanitize mean?
PIANO
It means to make sane.

No, no, it鈥檚 about cleaning.
PIANO
That bottle is too small to clean anything big.
CURTAIN
Well, it鈥檚 certainly too small to make anyone sane if they aren鈥檛 already.
GHOSTLIGHT

I don鈥檛 think anyone is coming.
PIANO
They always come. It just take time.

CURTAIN
There鈥檚 less than before.
GHOSTLIGHT
Alice isn鈥檛 coming.
No one is coming.
That smell. It鈥檚 not a good smell.
It鈥檚 too clean. It鈥檚 too clean for us.
PIANO
Stop it! You鈥檙e supposed to be the hopeful one! You鈥檙e our light in the dark -
