| Tenma | Hhh… |
| Fans’ Comments | "Poor Tenma-kun…" |
| "Isn't his schedule too packed? His manager better do his job properly." |
| Tenma | --. |
| (They're wrong. Those people are not to blame. I’m fully responsible for this--damn!) |
| … |
| Alien A | Let me use your body. |
| Alien B | Be a good boy and do as we say. |
| Tenma | Stop it!!! |
| Alien A | We're proceeding with the craniotomy. |
| Tenma | Don't! Stop it!! |
| Kazunari | ...We're triangle aliens. |
| Misumi | ...We're going to conquer the Earth. |
| Tenma | --!! |
| Muku | Oh, he's awake. |
| Kumon | Morning. |
| Kazunari | The earthling is awake. |
| Misumi | Let's catch him. |
| Tenma | So this is your doing!! |
| Kumon | Ahahaha! |
| Muku | Don't tell me you were dreaming about aliens? |
| Yuki | He's so simple. |
| Tenma | --, Tell me if you're gonna come! |
| Yuki | There's no need to fix your hair now. |
| Misumi | Go rest~. |
| Kazunari | We figured you're probably going to feel concerned if we told you beforehand. That's why we came unannounced. |
| Kumon | Don't worry about it, Tenma-san! You're the patient here, after all. |
| Muku | That's right. Just relax. |
| Tenma | ...Jeez. |
| Muku | Here, take this. I didn't know what to bring at first, but in the end I decided to go with an assortment of sweets that you could eat with one hand. |
| Kumon | I have an array of drinks for you! |
| Kazunari | I have magazines, DVDs, and all sorts of things that you can use to kill time~! |
| Misumi | This is an assortment of triangles for you~. |
| Tenma | No, I don't need an assortment of that! One is more than enough! |
| Muku | Tsumugi-san also has some flowers he's been looking after. They were blooming in the courtyard. |
| Tenma | Flowers… |
| Misumi | Does your arm hurt~? |
| Tenma | It doesn't hurt that much anymore. |
| Kazunari | Until when are you going to stay here? |
| Tenma | I should be discharged soon. I still have to wear the cast for a while--. |
 |
| Hold on, what's with all these doodles!? Hey, when did y'all…! |
| Misumi | Ehehe~. It's a spell to make you get better soon! |
| Kazunari | You're gonna cheer up whenever you see this! |
| Tenma | As if! Rather, it's embarrassing to go outside with this cast! |
| Yuki | The thing is, that doodle has been there for a while now. Took you long enough to notice them. |
| Muku | But we did write this to cheer you up. |
| Tenma | --. |
| ...Don't you have practice today!? Just go home! |
| Misumi | 'Kaaay. |
| Kumon | The Autumn Troupe guys said they're gonna visit you tomorrow. |
| Kazunari | We're gonna come again! |
| Muku | Have a good rest! |
| Yuki | Take care. |
| Tenma | … |
| Those guys… they wrote whatever they wanted…*sniffles*. |
| *door opens* |
| Yuki | I forgot something. |
| Tenma | !! |
| Uh-okay. |
| (...He's so gonna tease me if he knows I cried.) |
| Yuki | ...I'm not gonna laugh at you. |
| Tenma | --. |
| Yuki | That's why the next time you feel like crying in front of us, just cry as hard as you can. |
| *door closes* |
| Tenma | (He said he's not gonna laugh at me, but he's clearly laughing… jeez.) |
| |
| "Is that true!?" |
| "I can't believe it…" |
| (I can't afford to waste any time. I shall do whatever I can so that I won't cause everyone more trouble than I already have.) |
| (Once I'm discharged, I'll apologize to the various related parties first--.) |
| *door opens* |
| ? |
| Hiro | ...I'm coming in. |
| Tenma | !! |
| Hiro-san… |
| Hiro | I see you already have flowers here. |
| Tenma | Thank you for taking the trouble to come here… |
| I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience I’ve caused this time. |
| Hiro | You pushed yourself because you were provoked by my words, didn't you? I was being childish. Sorry. |
| Tenma | No, it's all my fault… |
| Hiro | Well, you have a point. You left a huge void at the shooting site and caused the crew to postpone the broadcast of the drama. As a professional, you screwed up. |
| Tenma | --. |
| My apologies. When I heard that Hiro-san was the old Summer Troupe leader, I ended up feeling a sense of rivalry. |
| If I messed up both the comedy and action, everyone in the newborn MANKAI Company would be looked down upon… |
| When I think about how I could cause inconvenience to my friends with whom I'm working hard, I ended up pushing myself too hard to surpass my capabilities. |
| I admit as a professional, it was wrong of me to bring my personal feelings into the shoot. |
| Hiro | ...I understand your feelings. |
| That cast… |
| Tenma | --Ah, it was their doing. |
| Hiro | Looks like you share a strong bond with your friends. |
| ...It was the same for me too. |
| But my decision to leave the troupe was right. |
| Things like bonds and growth will attain maturity over time. In other words, the ceiling is the end point. |
| You can only go to a certain extent as long as you keep pace with your friends. |
| In fact, after I left the troupe and went solo, I continued to grow as an actor and got recognized by others. |
| As long as you stay in the theater troupe, it will only become a hindrance to your growth as an actor. |
| Tenma | --. |
| (I can't grow if I keep my pace with them…?) |
| (--No, that can't be true.) |
| I can't reach my goal if I'm alone. It's because I'm with everyone in the Summer Troupe that I can aim high. |
| The longing sky has no ceiling. I--we should be able to aim for the highest star, as long as we believe in it. |
| Hiro | … |
| ...You'll understand what I mean one day. |
