Added DiffLines:

* RuleOfSymbolism: Her stage (both in the musical and videogame sense) have strong nature motifs, such as the lid of her piano being shaped like a leaf, Yinu's hair being like a rose bush, and ''especially'' the thorny rose stems and vines that shape the security gate. As Yinu's mother becomes more and more enraged and involved in the fight, the stage turns to a barren, nightmarish forest surrounded by sharp, thorny trees and vines.
