THE EDGE — ENCORE KIT
Prop, Setup & Atmosphere

LIGHTING
Low and blue-toned. A single lamp or string lights in blue/violet; if you have any color-changing
bulb, set it to blue or magenta. Aim for "rain-lit glass tower," not romantic candlelight — cooler
and a little clinical at the start, warming only in tone (not literally) as the scene turns.

SOUND / MUSIC
Rain sound (app, white-noise machine, or a rain playlist) under everything — it's the letter's
constant. Layer in slow, minimal, low-register music for beats 1–3 (ambient/downtempo), shifting
to something with more pulse for beat 4.

SCENT
Something cool and mineral to start — rain-fresh or ozone-adjacent scents if you have them
(petrichor candles/sprays exist) — shifting to skin and warmth as things heat up. Optional: a
drop of something with a faint metallic-sweet note (pomegranate, blood-orange) as a wink to the
letter's "copper" detail — not literal, just a sensory nod.

WARDROBE
Her: something a "professional" would wear — simple, composed, a sleeve that rolls up easily (the
letter's donor uniform). A cuff bracelet or wide wristband works well as the "biosensor cuff" prop
(see below).
Partner: dark, understated, unhurried elegance — nothing costume-y needed. An open shirt reads as
the letter's visual by beat 3.

PROP CHECKLIST
- A wristband, cuff bracelet, or smartwatch to serve as the "biosensor cuff" — worn at the start,
  removed deliberately at the top of beat 2 as the ritual gesture marking the shift.
- A timer or phone visible early (the "metered clock") — silenced or set aside at the same moment
  the cuff comes off.
- Blue/violet lighting source (lamp, bulb, or LED strip).
- Rain sound source (app or playlist).
- A skin-safe bite tool, textured massage wand, or simply mouth/teeth used carefully — whatever
  the couple has agreed produces the "mark" sensation without breaking skin. Discuss and choose
  this together before starting.
- Optional: a scarf or dark throw over a lamp for quick blackout-style dimming, echoing the
  letter's blackout blind.
