Artist commentary:

apatheticPianist: (composer, booklet commentary)

As you've probably gathered from listening to it, this song is themed around the first five acts of Homestuck! It has a similar structure to Cue the Curtains, but with five parts instead of four (which is oddly appropriate, in retrospect - five parts, five acts): John, Rose, Dave and Jade, Bec Noir and Vriska's machinations that led to him, and finally the kids' ascensions and the Scratch. The title uses Vriska's quirk for two reasons: because she had a pretty big hand in the creation of Bec Noir... and also becasue she's "stealing the spotlight" from the Beta Kids. Anyways, a huge thanks to PotatoBoss for mastering this song, and I hope y'all enjoy it!
