Starling began her performance.
The audition didn't have a set or other actors, so she had to perform the final battle with Buffalo Bill all by herself.
In the script, the final battle was set in Buffalo Bill's basement. It was pitch-black and had a Low Tier Forbidden Magic Array, making it impossible to use even a basic Lighting Technique.
The main police force had been sent to the wrong location due to a miscalculation.
This left Starling all alone, and her only weapon was the latest model Colt-style revolver.
This Pistol became widely popular because it solved the troublesome reloading process of first pouring gunpowder, then inserting the ball, ramming it down hard, and finally placing the percussion cap.
In practice, old-fashioned flintlocks were rarely reloaded during a fight. Most people just carried several of them and switched to melee combat after firing.
