| Tsuzuru | …..Mm. |
| Kazunari | Ah, Tsuzuroon? You coming to? |
| Tsuzuru | Miyoshi-san….. I. I collapsed, didn’t I? |
| Sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused… |
| Kazunari | I wasn’t expecting you to apologize that earnestly about it….. |
| Tsuzuru | That’s the unexpected part for you? …Well, still, all of this was because I didn’t take care of myself as much as I should’ve. |
| And after all the times you kept checking on me and asking if I was really fine, I still brushed it off each time… |
| Kazunari | You don’t have to be so hard on yourself. I only wished I could’ve done a better job at stopping you once I realized something was wrong. |
| …..Though, is it fine for me to say something first? |
| Tsuzuru | Miyoshi-san? |
| Kazunari | Take better care of yourself, Tsuzuroon. Please. |
| When we talked about the past with Kuraki-sensei, there was a reason you couldn’t enter the theatre club as a full-fledge member back then—— |
| And because you didn’t get the chance to actually enjoy your time with the theatre club back then, I’ve got a feeling that you want to make the most and have fun with it now. |
| But still, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice yourself along with it. |
| Tsuzuru | ……. |
 |
| Kazunari | I say that now, but whenever I’d get into drawing, I’d end up mismanaging my own health too. I’m sure this will become a big boomerang effect on me one of these days… |
| But wasn't it you that said at the start: You’re the one who wanted everyone to lend their strength in this. |
| Tsuzuru | …..!! |
| I... I guess I did, huh. |
| Kazunari | That’s why you don’t have to hold back. Everyone’s here because they want to lend that strength to you, alright? |
| Tsuzuru | …It’s not like I ever intended to hold back from doing so. Making plays for everyone— for those two kids in the theatre club, and MANKAI Company both, it’s a lot of fun for me. |
| I was just… Too into it, I guess. Before I knew it, I was carrying everything on my shoulders. |
| Kazunari | Took you long enough to realize! |
| Tsuzuru | …Yeah. |
| Kazunari | Then you better let everyone lighten the load for you from now on! Promise? |
| Tsuzuru | Of course. |
| |
| *DOOR SLIDING* |
| Tsuzuru | Sorry everyone, I’m back—— |
| Kuraki | Minagi! Are you alright? |
| Oohara | How are you feeling!? |
| Tsuzuru | I’m a lot better now after getting some rest. |
| I’m really sorry for making everyone worry. |
| Juza | If you’re fine now, then it’s all good. |
| Tasuku | Don’t go pushing yourself, alright? |
| Tsuzuru | Huh? That large prop being repaired… Did I break that? |
| Kazunari | You…. may or may not have broken it, yeah…. |
| Citron | It was a splendid destruction indeed! |
| Tsuzuru | Uwaaaa! I’m really sorry…!!!! |
| Tasuku | Those guys are overexaggerating. The damage isn’t as serious as it looks, so don’t fret. |
| Juza | The repairs are almost done too. |
| Azami | Oh by the way, I already contacted the Director, but— |
| *DOOR SLIDING* |
| Izumi | TSUZURU-KUN!? |
| Tsuzuru | Director? I thought you said you couldn’t come because you had some other business today— |
| Izumi | I did but— H-Huh? You seem just fine now, Tsuzuru-kun. |
| Tsuzuru | For now, I am, yes. |
| Izumi | Phew…. That’s good then. When I heard you collapsed, I rushed as soon as possible. |
| Azami | I was telling you he might’ve just needed some sleep… |
| Izumi | I was still worried sick! I even brought the car to get here. |
| I should’ve noticed sooner that Tsuzuru-kun had been overdoing himself recently. I’m sorry… |
| Tsuzuru | It’s not your fault at all, Director!! |
| Izumi | No, I was the one who put you in charge of things here, so I feel some responsibility in letting you handle everything. |
| In any case, why don’t you rest up at home for today? I’ve got my car to take you—— |
| Tasuku | Hold. on. You’re not the one driving on the way back home, are you, Director? |
| Izumi | Eh? That’s what I meant by it, yeah—— |
| Tasuku | No, leave the driving to me… It’s likely Minagi’s condition will worsen if we let you take the wheel. |
| Izumi | Now what do you mean by that, Tasuku-san!! |
| Tsuzuru | Ahaha, I’ll be in your care then, Takato-san. |
