Cash Shop: Looming Stage Curtains

"I don't have time for this Johannes, I have writing to be getting on with."
"But please, dad. You played with Sock and Buskin all morning!"
"Grooming them isn't playing, but fine. I'll listen to what you have to play for me."
I played the tune, it wasn't perfect, I missed a few notes when Sock knocked something over and bumbled a few more when Buskin tried to rub up against my leg. The felis never seemed to bother father, and he hated that they bothered me. But I was only a boy, and I had tried so hard. I looked up at him with eager expectation: the hope of a hug, a hair ruffle, or even a smile. He had none for me.
"I've listened. You are a distracted boy, Johannes. How can you possibly own the stage if every little thing disturbs you? I expected better. I expect the best, in fact, and I do not think this is the path you should be following. Now leave me, Johannes. I have to work.
Why can't he just be proud of me? Why do the felis make him happier than I ever did? Why am I unable to escape my imperfections? I am so small in front of him. The littlest violinist on the stage, and they will eat me alive.

Help Johannes face his fear by picking up the Looming Stage Curtains from the Cash Shop and defeating Stage Fright!
The Empty Mask Box will retire on May 1st.

As someone else with a jackass father I don't speak to anymore, I can't wait to punch the crap out of this challenger.
The background is actually pretty lovely though!

Cats are better than kids and are also probably just waiting to eat you? Got it.
Really though, from the looks of this one, I thought that it'd just be run-of-the-mill stage fright, but then the text was so much worse. :(

The spotlight blinds you as its unrelenting heat makes you sweat uncontrollably.
It doesn't matter what you do... you'll never be good enough.

Your audience hisses and heckles you! (Beginning Stats)
