| Hisoka | ...Mm. |
| Azuma | ...Zzz. |
| Homare | ...*snore* |
| Guy | ... |
| Tasuku | ...Zzz. |
| Tsumugi | ...Zzz. |
| Hisoka | Everyone slept here... |
| ...Thank you. |
| |
| *knock* |
| Izumi | Yes? |
| Hisoka | ...It’s me. |
| Izumi | Ahh, thank goodness you’re awake, Hisoka-san. You’d been asleep all this time, so everyone was worried. |
| Hisoka | ...Sorry. |
| Izumi | No, don’t be. So, is something wrong? |
| Hisoka | ...Are there any seats left for the performance tomorrow? |
| Izumi | If it’s just one seat then I think I can do something about it... Are you inviting someone? |
| Hisoka | My precious family... and, his stand-in. |
| Izumi | Stand-in? |
| |
| Citron | Winter Troupe’s gambler show is so cool~! |
| Sakuya | It’s so like the Winter Troupe––it feels so mature! |
| Citron | I’ll be a gambler too! Hancho! Hancho! |
| Masumi | A squad leader? |
| Chikage | Doesn’t he mean the odds or evens game?[1] |
| Itaru | So he’s going the traditional route. |
| *LIME sound* |
| Itaru | Hm? |
| Chikage | It’s mine. |
| ... |
| |
| Hisoka | ...*munch* |
| Chikage | ...I heard you cried? Like a little kid. |
| Hisoka | ...I met August. It was in a dream though. |
| Chikage | ——I see. He was probably smiling like a fool as always. |
| Hisoka | Yeah. We ate marshmallows together. |
| Chikage | Even in a dream you’re eating marshmallows. ...So? |
| Hisoka | He said sorry for making you worry. That he’s happy the two of us are together and spending time with our new family. |
| Chikage | Sounds like something he’d say. |
| Hisoka | I told him that I’ll keep carrying my past while living as “Mikage Hisoka”. |
| Chikage | ...If that’s what you want, then why not. |
| Hisoka | ...Maybe those cookies actually do grant wishes. I got to see August. |
| Chikage | Cookies? |
| Hisoka | I’ve got a new wish, so I want you to make it come true. |
| Chikage | Why me—— |
| Hisoka | I want you to see it with your own eyes––me standing on stage as “Mikage Hisoka”. In August’s stead. |
| Chikage | ...Got it. |
| Hisoka | ...One bag of marshmallows as a reward. |
| Chikage | I’m terminating the contract. |
| |
| Azuma | ... |
| Guy | ...A hair comb? |
| Tasuku | That’s—— |
| Azuma | It’s a good luck charm. |
| Hisoka | ... |
| Homare | Now, why don’t we form a huddle! We could not form one for our fifth performance thanks to Tasuku-kun, after all. |
| Tsumugi | Wha, a huddle? |
| Tasuku | We’re doing one now? It’s not the first day. And you’re not even the leader. |
| Homare | Well then, take the reins, leader! I have perfected the choreography! |
| Hisoka | ...Let’s go. |
| Homare | Wait, Hisoka-kun! |
| Azuma | Fufu. I guess the huddle will have to wait another time again. |
