| Sakuya | ...... |
| Seiya | Sakuya~! |
| Sakuya | Seiya-kun...... |
| Seiya | So this is where you were! I was looking for you~. |
| Sakuya | ...... |
| Seiya | ......Sakuya? |
| Sakuya | ......Would it be better for me not to go on stage? |
| Seiya | ! |
| Sakuya | I can't muster up confidence to be the center no matter what......If I'm going to cause trouble like this, it'd be better not to ーー. |
| Seiya | ......Sakuya, are you afraid of being the center? |
| Sakuya | Eh......? |
| Seiya | It's really fun for me! Because I'm always with friends I can have confidence in! |
| Whether I'm working with F∞F, or in another unit like today, I'm not alone. My friends are with me. |
| So if we make mistakes, we can just help each other out. |
| Sakuya | Help each other out...... |
| Seiya | .....I said a bit of a self-important thing, but the truth is that there are times I haven't been able to discuss my worries with my friends either. |
| Sakuya | You, Seiya-kun? |
| Seiya | Yeah. I was told this by the person who made me want to become an idol......by a person named Tsubaki-san. |
| ーー"Your concept of yourself is hollow." "Discover your own individuality."[1] |
| Sakuya | ーー. |
| Seiya | My head was so full of those words that I was lost in the clouds......I couldn't talk to anyone and I caused everyone trouble. |
| It seems I caused them quite a bit of worry, and I even troubled my childhood friend in a different unit, Noah...... |
| They were both really worried about and angry with me. "Rely on your friends more", they said...... |
| Sakuya | I see...... |
| Seiya | I lot happened, but now I've found the idol only I can be, and I'm working hard! |
| Because being an idol is my dream! |
| Sakuya | Your dream, huh......That's a wonderful dream. |
| Seiya | Speaking of which, why did you decide you wanted to be an actor, Sakuya? Was it your childhood dream? |
| Sakuya | ......Yeah. It was when I saw a play the arts appreciation festival in primary school. |
| The actors were full of vigour and seemed like real pirates; it was an incredibly enjoyable play. |
| Some troubles occurred then, but everyone handled them perfectly whilst staying in character......I was really moved. |
| Even when the actors stepped off the stage, the story didn't end. |
| "The Show must go on"......The show's not over. |
| The stage is mine alone......the place where I could keep on standing with confidence, I thought. |
| We're aspiring actors, but......we can stand on a large stage as the opening act for all of you I-chus. This is a rare opportunity, isn't it. |
| Listening to your story, Seiya-kun, I wanted to work hard too. I want to get better as the center! |
| Seiya | Sakuya...... |
| ーーHaha, it looks like you've gotten motivated! Nice; I'll accompany your practice as much as you like! |
| Sakuya | Yeah! I'll be counting on you! |
| Yuki | Hey, the break's ending soon, you know? |
| Ban | Let's hurry and start practice~! |
| Seiya | Yeah, we're coming now! ーーLet's go, Sakuya! |
| Sakuya | Yeah! |
