Homare | *Snore, snore*… |
Tasuku | Zz, zz… |
|
Azuma | …Zzz, zzz. |
Guy | … |
Hisoka | (Everyone slept together…) |
| (Come to think of it, something like this has happened before… |
| Back during our 6th play.) |
Tsumugi | …Hm? |
| Rise and shine. I see you’re awake. |
Hisoka | …Good morning. |
Tsumugi | Were you able to get a good night’s rest? |
Hisoka | Yeah… I slept well. |
| …I told you I had a request for you. Do you remember? |
Tsumugi | Yes. |
Hisoka | …I want you to play my co-lead. |
Tsumugi | Me? |
Hisoka | …We were living in completely different places, yet we both had special memories of the same flower. |
| If flowers are going to be a part of our play, then I feel like… I want to share the stage with you. |
Tsumugi | I see… I’m glad to hear that. |
| I was also hoping to do the same. |
| Although it’s just a coincidence that we hold the same flower close to our hearts, it feels like fate. |
| I guess you felt the same way, Hisoka-kun? |
Hisoka | Looks like it. |
Tsumugi | Oh, right. |
| I was thinking of giving this to you. |
Hisoka | A bouquet…? |
Tsumugi | They’re artificial flowers though. They had a spot where you could learn how to create arrangements at Flower Park. |
| I was torn whether to use fresh flowers, but this time, I wanted our memories of that day to last forever. |
| I made it with the hope that I would be able to support you, even a little, as you stand on the stage as the lead in the next performance. |
Hisoka | …I’ll let Tsuzuru know my request. |
Tsumugi | Good luck. |
| |
Izumi | Alright, I’ll hand the scripts out to everyone. |
| (As per Hisoka-san’s request, the upcoming stage is set as a flower shop.) |
| (It’s an ensemble drama depicting the protagonist, a shop assistant, and all the people surrounding the flower shop.) |
| (The story is warm, but tinged with a touch of sadness, which fits Winter troupe perfectly.) |
Hisoka | ...Thanks, Tsuzuru. |
Tsuzuru | I was a bit surprised when Mikage-san told me to use a flower theme. |
| The main character recalls his precious memories through the scent of flowers, and Hisoka-san was holding a bouquet of peonies. So the idea suddenly came to me. |
|
Homare | It became a story that suits Hisoka-kun very much. |
Tasuku | It’s a role that he can play since he’s Mikage. |
Guy | I am sure Mikage’s family will be delighted as well. |
Izumi | (He must have come up with that request since he overcame what he went through this time.) |
Tsumugi | We have to do our best, right, Hisoka-kun? |
Hisoka | Yeah. |
| |
| *Munch*… *nom, nom*. |
Chikage | What do you want to talk about? |
|
Hisoka | *Nom, nom*… |
Chikage | You have quite an appetite for someone who collapsed on the side of the road a few days ago. |
Hisoka | …Thanks. |
Chikage | For what? |
Hisoka | …Director told me to say that. |
Chikage | I don’t get you. |
Hisoka | The reason I said I would play the lead this time was because I was reminded of the days I spent with together August… |
| …And when I told Director, she explained that August must’ve came to check up on me. |
Chikage | That sounds like something Director would say. |
| And? |
Hisoka | That’s why I’m going to do my best for my family. And I’d like you to come watch me again… in August’s stead. |
Chikage | I’ll be there. |
| |
Izumi | Guys, it’s almost showtime. |
Homare | So, leader, what do you say to forming a huddle? |
Hisoka | …A huddle? |
|
Homare | The other troupes partake in that, don’t they? |
| You know, where you form a circle and shout? |
Azuma | Homare’s not letting that go. |
Tasuku | It’s too late for that now, don’t you think? |
Hisoka | …That sounds like a bother. |
Homare | The day Winter troupe forms a huddle-like circle will never come at this rate. |
Tsumugi | I mean, this is just like Winter troupe too, isn’t it? |
Guy | Indeed. |
