AT THE WAITING AREA

ARRIVING at the 10th floor, an AI robot quickly assisted Astrid and Ellis. It guided the two to a waiting room where all the other auditionees were. It also gave them a number, telling them that the number given to them was the order in which the auditionees would audition.

Astrid saw that he was number '46'. According to Ellis, there were only 60 slots for this audition. Which was understandable. This was the comeback project of a well-known director after three years of hiatus. Just by the virtue of the director's fame alone, the shows popularity was basically guaranteed. Who wouldn't want to be part of such a show?
