TsumugiThe set would be around here, right?
HomareThe lack of movement during the exchange between Chris and the Phantom bothers me.
TsumugiMaybe we should change where the Phantom’s voice comes from?
IzumiYou’re right... There’s supposed to be a spacious area under the theater—wide enough for someone to live there, so it wouldn’t be strange if we had movement.
Guy....
IzumiGuy-san, how does it look from the audience?
Guy....
TsumugiGuy-san, is something wrong?
GuyNo....
Guy’s fatherDid you enjoy that, Guy?
GuyYeah. Next time, I want to see you stand on stage, father.
Guy——.
AzumaAre you okay?
Guy’s fatherHaha, father will try even harder, then.
Guy—gh.
IzumiGuy-san!?
Guy...I’m fine.
TsumugiIf you’re unwell, please rest. We can handle this.
Guy....
IzumiGuy-san?
Guy...I’ve been to this theater before.
IzumiEh?
TsumugiWhen?
Guy...In the past.
TasukuOn your own?
Guy...With father.
—No. I’m an android. I have a developer, not a father.
IzumiGuy-san....
(Does that mean Guy-san is a human who lived in Japan, after all...?)
Hisoka...You don’t look well.
IzumiLet’s return to the dorms for now.
Guy...Phew.
IzumiAre you okay?
GuyI’m fine. There seems to have been a minor malfunction.
TasukuDid you once live in this area, Guy-san?
Guy...I don’t remember.
But ever since I saw the Original Winter Troupe’s performance video, I’ve had repeated defrag errors.
Memory data that I have no recollection of frequently appears during my nightly defrags.
AzumaDefrag... do you mean your dreams?
GuyNo. It refers to the maintenance of my memory circuit—.
HomareAren’t you a human?
Guy——.
AzumaAfter living with you—I think so too.
GuyThat’s not true. I’m an android.
IzumiBut an android wouldn’t have a father.
GuyStop!!
Izumi——.
Guy...I’m confused. Please leave me alone.
*Door closes*
Izumi....
TsumugiWe went too far. Even though we said Guy-san is Guy-san.
HomareYes....
IzumiBut I didn’t know Guy-san could get that upset.
HomareThat’s exactly what proves that he is human. It’s not that he can’t express his emotions; he simply believes that he can’t.
IzumiBut why....
TsumugiIn any case, let’s wait for Guy-san to calm down.
Soldier<<Citronia-sama. You have a meeting at 3:00 regarding the progress of the coronation ceremony.>>
Citron<<Understood.>>
???<<You look well, my brother.>>
<<You disappeared out of nowhere; we were all quite concerned.>>
Citron<<Orange, Navel....>>
Orange<<To think that Guy betrayed you, after you trusted him for all these years. I truly feel sorry for you, my poor brother.>>
<<But we had not heard from you for such a long time, that I thought....>>
Citron<<Did you think I died?>>
Orange<<No... Returning safely like this—I was simply amazed by your sheer luck.>>
Navel<<You must have been blessed by the star of fortune ever since you were born—just before us.>>
<<For that is why you are promised the throne.>>
Citron<<You are right. If either of you were in my position, you would not be alive.>>
<<For you seem to have been born under the star that makes your desires unattainable.>>
Orange<<——.>>
<<—I am looking forward to the coronation ceremony.>>
Navel<<I do hope it ends without trouble.>>
Citron<<....>>
???<<Nii-sama!>>
<<Welcome back, nii-sama!>>
Citron<<I’m back, Tangerine.>>
Tangerine<<Ah, I’m so glad you’re safe.>>
Citron<<I’m sorry for making you worry.>>
Tangerine<<You must be busy with preparations for the coronation ceremony. Do let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.>>
Citron<<Thank you.>>
