A girl with nothing but memory and desperation teaches herself to be everyone, and that obsession is the only real power she has. The old woman with the scarred face sees it immediately, sees the hunger that turns imitation into art. This is the origin story of someone who becomes great not because talent finds her, but because she refuses to stop pretending until pretending becomes real.
Kitajima Maya is a girl from a poor family who lives with her widowed mother and seems to have no talent that helps her at school or at home. What she does have is an obsession with movies, stage plays and TV dramas. She can recall every line of a film after one viewing, and she acts out whole stories, playing every role, for anyone willing to listen. One day she meets an old woman with a scarred face who says Maya is the girl she has been looking for. The woman has spent years guarding the rights to a legendary play. This three-episode drama OVA retells the early part of the Glass no Kamen story.
