So far, I have a loose grasp on the world I am in right now. The opening was beautiful in detail, but confused me when I realized that these carriages aren't in line in front of the crowd in the palace, but somewhere on platforms? What EXACTLY is happening when Camellia is doing her magic? What is a post balloon? Google is showing me a staff to place balloons, so is that what is floating around?
