| Izumi | Now that we've reached the full run through today, if anyone has something to say ―― |
| Omi | Then, I'll go. |
| Sorry, everyone. There's something in the play I'd like to change at all costs. |
| Sakyo | Change? |
| Omi | Please call my character 『Wolf』 instead of Ward. |
| Banri | You're changing your name!? The first day's tomorrow, you know? |
| Sakyo | After coming all this way, that's the change, huh. |
| Izumi | I did talk with him in advance, and I granted permission. Tsuzuru has no problem with it either. |
| Juza | ......『Wolf』 is the name of the team you used to be belong to, isn't it. |
| Omi | Yes, that's right. |
| Sakyo | If you think your awareness will change from a simple name change, I won't recognise that. |
| Omi | ......That's not my intention. I know this is a selfish thing to ask. |
| But I'm still inexperienced, so I'd like you to help me get into character. More than anything, I want to stand on stage this time fully shouldering my past. |
| Please. |
| Sakyo | You've made your decision. |
| Omi | Yes. |
| Banri | Hah. Isn't this the first time that Omi's been selfish? |
| Sakyo | ......We have to grant his wish, then. |
| Juza | No problem. |
| Banri | You're the biggest concern. Don't be careless and say stuff like 『Wa-Waff』. |
| Juza | It sounds like your laughter. I won't sound like that. |
| Banri | When did I ever laugh like that! |
| Izumi | Then, from today's full run through, the character's name will be changed. |
| Taichi | That's good, right, Omi-kun! |
| Omi | Thanks, everyone...... |
| Izumi | Alright! Then everyone, we'll start when Yuzo-san comes, so get ready! |
| |
| Omi | "Do you want to die?" |
| Taichi | ――. |
| Izumi | (Wolf's line at the start when he saves Zero......Omi-san's acting is completely different to how it has been.) |
| (An overwhelming presence that frightens even Zero, who was saved by him......) |
| Taichi | "Who are you? A death god?" |
| (Taichi-kun's acting has changed too. His personality is showing very naturally.) |
| (I wonder if the advice I gave him yesterday helped a bit......) |
| |
| *flashback* |
| |
| Izumi | How's it going, Taichi-kun? Do you think you've grasped how to play Zero? |
| Taichi | Hmm, I think I've still got a bit more to go. It's not fitting well, or like, I can't quite get into it. |
| Izumi | I see...... |
| Taichi | My image of girls and the acting techniques needed for Zero's role are different, so there's a discrepancy...... |
| I can't switch them around well in my head. |
| Izumi | Hey, hasn't there been a girl like Zero in your life before? |
| Taichi | A girl like Zero...... |
| Izumi | A girl who's a little curt, and who's more like a young boy than a young girl. |
| Taichi | Hmm......Ah! |
| Izumi | Was there someone? |
| Taichi | She resembles my first love. |
| She was strong-willed and had a bad mouth, but at times she'd have a girl's expression, just fleetingly...... |
| She was like a boy and a girl mixed together. |
| Izumi | I see...... |
| (That's because your first love was Yuki-kun, who's a boy in the first place......) |
| Then why don't you try acting while remembering that child. |
| Taichi | I see......That's right. |
| I'll act with all my strength so I can be proud when I meet that girl again! |
| Izumi | Yeah, that's the spirit! |
| |
| *end flashback* |
| |
| Yuzo | ...... |
| Izumi | (Amazing. The quality's risen all at once here. It's remarkably different to what we've been able to produce thus far.) |
| Yuzo | ......What, you made me come for no reason. I thought I'd take the opportunity to work you hard. |
| Omi | Eh? |
| Taichi | In other words......? |
| Yuzo | Do it like this from the start. Stingy. Pull yourselves together and carry it through like this to the final performance. |
| Omi | Thank you very much! |
| Taichi | We did it! |
| Yuki | ......Hmm. I thought I'd take the costume back if you played a horrible female role, but it wasn't bad. |
| Taichi | Yuki-chan, you came to watch!? |
| Yuki | Don't turn back while you're in costume. You'll ruin the dream. Stupid dog. |
| Taichi | Ehh!? |
| Izumi | Then let's work hard in this manner during tomorrow's dress rehearsal too! Everyone, rest early today! |
| Omi | Yeah. |
| Juza | Okay. |
| Banri | Good work. |
| Taichi | Good work! |
| Sakyo | Phew. I wondered what would happen, but...... |
| Banri | You worry too much. |
| Izumi | Ah, Omi-kun, do you have a moment? |
| Omi | ? |
| Izumi | I have a criminal record from the matter with Tenma-kun's parents so this time I figured I had to let you know properly. |
| Omi | What are you talking about? |
| Izumi | Nachi-san's parents will be coming to the opening performance. |
| Omi | Eh? |
| Izumi | I got their contact details from Ryo-san. |
| I invited him to the opening performance too, but I don't know whether he'll come. |
| Omi | I see......Nachi's parents will...... |
| Izumi | Sorry for doing things on my own. |
| Omi | No ―― I'm incredibly happy. Thanks. |
| Izumi | Thank goodness...... |
| Omi | Though I am nervous, and there's more pressure now. |
| Izumi | As expected? |
| Omi | Still, this is definitely something that is necessary in order for me to continue standing on stage with all my strength. |
| I'll show them the best performance I'm currently capable of. |
| I'll throw out my chest and and tell Nachi ―― tell my friends in 『Wolf』 ―― about my dream of being an actor ―― |
| Izumi | (Omi-kun is no longer only the Omi-kun who was being held captive by 『regret』.) |
| (He's accepted all of his past and is facing forward. He'll neither falter nor fall back.) |
| (He'll be able to stand on stage with confidence.) |
