The term "chicchore cast" had never been written down. It was an oral tradition, passed between generations of stage managers at the old Globe-adjacent theater in a city that no longer remembered its own history. It meant, roughly, "the cast of leftover things"—a company of actors who had no fixed role, no grand speeches, no name on the billing block. They were the ones who played the second servant, the third messenger, the voice offstage that cries "Fire!" and is never seen again.
The audience applauded. Not for the king. For the quiet.
Mira belonged to the chicchore cast.
