* AMFMCharacterization: The characters were originally supposed to have this through the music. The Girl would play the triangle (a silvery, timid instrument) throughout her scenes, Oblivion would play the crotales (lending a sense of infinity and power), Rebirth would play the tamborine (with its connotation of strength and joy), Mother would play the clavinet (an intense, emotional sound) and Slushie Guy would, of course, play the bongos. In the interests of the actors being able to learn their parts in time, this was scrapped, at least for the premiere. Instead, the chorus plays all the percussion.

* TheAtoner: Slushie Guy is implied to be this. He hints that he chose to stay in Limbo as punishment for being an awful person during his life, and since then has been helping new souls take charge of their lives as a way to atone. His suggested costume - a 1920s gangster outfit - makes the hints even stronger.

The opera tells the story of a teenage girl who ends up in Limbo after attempting suicide. Two spirits, Oblivion and Rebirth, argue over her fate - it's made clear that she has no choice in the matter. With the help of an older lost soul known only as "Slushie Guy," she must find her voice and make her own decision in time, or be stuck in Limbo forever.
