| Izumi | Now that we’ve wrapped up Autumn Troupe’s Sixth Performance—nice work, everyone! |
| Juza | Nice work. |
| Omi | Nice work. |
| Taichi | Nice work, guys! |
| Banri | But wow, this menu.... |
| Sakyo | I’m getting heartburn just looking at it. |
| Azami | The smell alone is making me full.... |
| Izumi | (Cream puffs, fruit tart, chocolate brownies, strawberry shortcake, chiffon cake, pudding a la mode...!) |
| This is just heaven! |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Sakyo | Sigh.... |
| Izumi | But didn’t baking all this take a lot of time? |
| Taichi | Omi-kun, you already had so much work as the second lead! |
| Omi | This is like taking a break for me. |
| Banri | Why do we have to go along with what Hyodo wants.... |
| Juza | Don’t eat, then. |
| Banri | You’ve piled up all that stuff on your plate—you just want it all for yourself! |
| Azami | Don’t wind up with pimples just because the performance is over. |
| Omi | There’s canape and sandwiches for Sakyo-san and Azami. |
| Sakyo | Thanks. |
| |
| Omi | Oh, right. While we’re at it, I might as well play the rest of the interview video. |
| Izumi | The rest? There’s more? |
| Omi | Yeah. I asked everyone about stuff other than Juza, too. |
| Izumi | Huh, I didn’t realize! |
| Banri | Geh, you’re gonna show that? |
| Omi | It’s not fair if we just show Juza’s, you know. Though I’ve edited it down to a pretty short segment. |
| “Then how about... what you think of the actor, Settsu Banri.” |
| Taichi | “He’s good at everything! Truly an all-rounder!” |
| Azami | “He’s got skill. He might be good at doing his own makeup.” |
| Sakyo | “It sure is annoying how he can handle anything you throw his way.” |
| Banri | This is just your personal feelings! |
| Omi | “What about Taichi?” |
| Banri | “Hm... He’s good at responding to different situations. It’s a product of his experience.” |
| “Also, he blends in no matter the scene. It can be pretty important to not stand out in a weird way on stage, you know?” |
| “Though that also means he can have a small stage presence.” |
| Sakyo | “He usually yaps like a dog, but his performances on stage have gotten pretty relaxed.” |
| “He’s pretty level-headed, too. How he’ll evolve from here on is... up to him.” |
| Azami | “He takes pretty good care of his skin, so I’d say he’s a good student.” |
| Omi | “How about Sakyo-san?” |
| Banri | “He won’t stop nagging.” |
| Taichi | “He doesn’t act like a grown-up on stage!” |
| Azami | “He won’t shut up.” |
| Sakyo | That’s also all just personal feelings! |
| Omi | “Then, Azami?” |
| Banri | “He thinks like a pro. Though his acting has lots of room for improvement.” |
| Taichi | “He’s the skincare boss!” |
| Sakyo | “He won’t stop nagging about my age and skin.” |
| Azami | That’s because you won’t do your skincare even when I tell you. |
| Izumi | (Nobody’s holding back... That’s Autumn Troupe for you!) |
| (But Omi-kun is amazing—he drew out everyone’s real feelings from casual conversation...) |
| Juza | Omnom. |
| Omi | Juza. |
| Juza | ? |
| Omi | Can you come to the garage with me later? I want to film an interview clip for you, too. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| |
| --Film No. 06: Juza Hyodo-- |
| Omi | It would be weird for me to interview you about you, Juza, so.... |
| How about a declaration of your determination? |
| Juza | A declaration of determination? |
| Omi | Like.... |
| What kind of actor you want to be in the future. |
| Juza | The future me.... |
| .... |
| I want to become an actor who can live each and every moment on stage with my entire life. |
| I began acting because I wanted to become another person—someone not myself. |
| But I was told that was just self-denial; that I was running away from myself. |
| I think he was right. |
| But that’s why I respect people who have what I lack. |
| That’s why I can truly respect the roles that I play. |
| I want to treasure that feeling, and.... |
| I want to become an actor who can continue to undertake someone else’s life and live it out upon the stage. |
| Also... I was told that I can’t overtake Settsu when it comes to skill. |
| When I first heard that, I fell into shock; I didn’t want to admit it. |
| No, I still haven’t given up. |
| Because even if that’s true now, you never know about the future. |
| I’ll continue acting with this in mind: I won’t lose to him, even if it kills me. |
| This goes for our serious battles as actors, and in terms of skill. |
| I’ll keep acting for the rest of my life, and win against him. |
| I know someone with no skill like me shouldn’t have this sorta dream. |
| But I just can’t give up. |
| |
| Omi | ——. |
| |
 |
| Nachi | “I know someone like me shouldn’t have this sorta dream. But I just can’t give it up.” |
| |
| Omi | .... |
| Juza | Omi-san, what’s wrong? |
| Omi | —No, it’s nothing. |
| You’re right. We never know what’s going to happen in the future; nothing is certain. |
| We have the right to dream, even if we think it’s beyond our means. Because we’re alive. |
| (I decided to live my life to the fullest as an actor for Nachi.) |
| (Even if I started acting in Nachi’s stead, Nachi’s dream has now become an unwavering dream of my own.) |
| (I’ll continue to live as an actor who Nachi, “Wolf,” Juza, and the members of Autumn Troupe can be proud of.) |
| We don’t know what kinds of actors we’ll become as we live our lives on the stage. |
| One day... When we feel like looking back to our past selves for answers, let’s watch this video together. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Omi | (...I captured a good smile.) |
