| Madam A | Fufu, no need to be that nervous. |
| Madam B | This feels refreshing for some reason. |
| Tsumugi | U-Umm… |
| Azuma | Fufu. |
| Tsumugi | (How did I end up in this situation...?) |
| Azuma | We wish we can listen to all your stories, given you have lots of experiences in life. |
| Madam A | I hope it can be of some use to you. |
| Madam B | Are you busy with your acting job? |
| Tsumugi | Y-Yeah, we’re in the middle of rehearsals. |
| Madam B | It must be hard, right? You need to take on various roles. |
| Madam A | I feel like actor-san has much more experience than us, since you’re leading the lives of all kinds of people. |
| Madam B | I second that. |
| Madam A | What’s the most difficult role you have ever taken so far? |
| Tsumugi | Let’s see… each of them has their own difficulties, but for me, playing an existence who is different from human beings is hard. |
| Madam A | Aah, if I recalled, you’ve played an angel before, right? |
| Tsumugi | Did you watch it? |
| Azuma | Asajo-san has come to love theater ever since I invited her to our “Nocturnality” play. |
| She has watched almost all of our recent plays. |
| Asajo | I watched your debut play during one of your regional tour stops though, not when it was first opened to the public. The play was so good and heartrending. |
| Tsumugi | Thank you. |
| Madam B | An angel character? |
| Asajo | An angel who fell in love with a human. |
| Madam B | Oh my, that’s beautiful. |
| Asajo | So did you use your real romance as reference for your acting? |
| Tsumugi | Uh, uhmm… Reality and acting are two different things. |
| Madam B | But isn’t love something that’s important to broaden your range? |
| Tsumugi | Y-You have a point… Though I’ve been focusing on nothing but acting these days… |
| |
| Asajo | See you again, then. |
| Madam B | That was fun. |
| Asajo | Good luck on your play. |
| Tsumugi | Yes, thank you. |
| ...phew. |
| Azuma | You must be tired. |
| Asajo-san told me she wanted to have a chat with the Winter Troupe’s leader. I thought she was the right person if we wanted to talk to someone who has lots of experience in life. |
| Tsumugi | I see… I was so nervous I couldn’t really talk, though. |
| Azuma | It’s rare to see Tsumugi being that nervous. You were so interesting and adorable. |
| Well then, it’s my turn now. |
| Tsumugi | Thanks in advance. |
| So Azuma-san, what do you think of a character like Lucifer? |
| Azuma | Hmm, let’s see… Lucifer’s attachment to Mark’s soul is like an unrequited love. It was a feeling that remained in his heart. |
| How about you, Tsumugi? Do you have someone or something that you’re so attached to like that? |
| Tsumugi | … |
| (Lucifer always leans himself close towards Mark’s never-ending cycle of life and death. He always tries to save Mark’s life over and over again in a cycle that feels like eternity.) |
| I don’t think I’ve never been attached to something that deep. |
| Azuma | That explains why you were confused when Asajo-san and her friend talked about love. |
| ...That reminds me, the Winter Troupe has talked about love before while drinking, right? |
| Tsumugi | It was during the rehearsals for our debut play. |
| Azuma | You were being smooth back then. |
| Tsumugi | I see… If anything, I think I was being frank. |
| Azuma | But you see, I feel like the Lucifer in the script has something in common with you. |
| Tsumugi | Eh, me? But I can’t think of something that we have in common at all. |
| Azuma | Not only Tsumugi, but also Tasuku. |
| Tsumugi | Even Tasuku? |
| Azuma | ...From my point of view, you two look like you have an intense unrequited love. |
| Tsumugi | ??? |
| Azuma | Fufu. If you want to know what I’m referring to, think of the answer on your own. |
| Tsumugi | ...Okay. |
| Azuma | Both you and Tasuku look so cute whenever you show that unrequited love. |
| Tsumugi | Cu-Cute…? |
| (I’m really no match for Azuma-san…) |
| |
| Tasuku | This snack is a little hot and delicious. |
| Guy | Really? Utsuki told me to make it spicier. |
| Tasuku | That guy’s palate is abnormal, you know. |
| Tsumugi | Huh? Are you two drinking? |
| Tasuku | Wanna join us? |
| Guy | We have some snacks too. |
| Tsumugi | Thanks. |
| Tasuku | How’s your role building going? |
| Tsumugi | I hung out with Homare-san, Hisoka-kun and Azuma-san for the past few days. I learned a lot after I exposed myself to their lives once again. |
| I got to know a lot of views that I’ve never thought of before. |
| Tasuku | Ooh. |
| Tsumugi | Azuma-san said me and Tasuku have something in common with Lucifer. |
| Tasuku | In which part? |
| Tsumugi | He didn’t tell me. |
| Tasuku | What the heck? |
| Guy | I admit that every day, there are many new things that I learn from my fellow Winter Troupe members’ life experiences. |
| For me who had been living my life like an emotionless android, it’s fun to talk to my fellow members who have lots of experiences. |
| Tsumugi | I also learn a lot from you, Guy-san. I’m glad each of us in the Winter Troupe have distinctive personalities. |
| I want to understand the important things I learned from everyone’s lives and put them into my acting. |
| Tasuku | I feel like they’re the things that you can’t get from me given we pretty much have been walking through the same life. |
| Tsumugi | I think we can share those things since we’re moving through life together. |
| Guy | Oh, right, the two of you have been sharing the same stage ever since the school play during your elementary school days, huh. |
| Tsumugi | Yes, except from the time when Tasuku was still in GOD-za… |
| Tasuku | Come to think of it… |
| When I was auditioning for GOD-za, I talked about that during my self promotion time. |
| I told Reni-san I continued performing without forgetting the euphoria I felt when I stood on the stage for the first time at the school play. |
| I thought I might have told him something childish at the time, but Reni-san surprisingly gave me an appraisal. |
| Tsumugi | Oh, really? ...That was a little bit surprising. |
| Tasuku | I mean, it wouldn't be strange of him to make fun of me. But he didn’t do it. |
| Guy | Maybe Kamikizaka also has similar memories. |
| Tsumugi | Yeah… Kamikizaka-san is also a theater person. There’s no doubt that he also loves acting. |
| ...I wonder if the practice room is empty right now. |
| Tasuku | Are you gonna practice by yourself? |
| Tsumugi | For some reason, I want to act after talking with you two. |
| Tasuku | I understand how you feel, but… Let’s just do it early in the morning. I’ll also get up early tomorrow, after all. |
| Tsumugi | But your “early in the morning” usually means “the wee hours of the morning,” right? |
| Tasuku | Be a morning person like me. |
| Tsumugi | I’m a heavy sleeper, so I’ll go there now while I can. |
| Tasuku | You better finish early, then. |
| Guy | ...Hmph. |
| Tsumugi | What’s wrong? |
| Guy | I just think the atmosphere here is pleasant. I feel like your attachment and passion for acting also affects me. |
| I can’t lose to you. I want to focus on acting more and more and be an acting idiot like you two. |
| Tsumugi | —ah. |
| Tasuku | ? |
| Tsumugi | I feel like I know the answer to Azuma-san’s riddle. |
