Coworker A | Fushimi, can you take this equipment to the car? |
Omi | Sure. |
Coworker B | Wait, help me with this reflector first! |
Omi | Okay. |
Coworker B | Higher. Higher... Right there! Sure is good having a tall guy around. |
| |
Coworker A | That's a wrap! |
Omi | Great work today. |
Coworker B | Are you going to be okay for the shoot this afternoon? Let us know if it's too much. |
Omi | I feel fine, but thank you. |
Coworker A | I'm so glad you joined us. You've got a lot of stamina, you're eager, and you're a quick learner. |
Coworker B | But don't push yourself, all right? Don't want you passing out on us. |
Omi | It's all right. I want to make up for all the time I'll be taking off during the play. |
Coworker A | Oh yeah, you said you were playing the lead this time? |
Coworker B | Looking forward to it! Good luck with your play! |
??? | Great work, guys! |
Omi | Imagawa-senpai? |
Coworker A | Hey, what's up? |
Imagawa | Just popping by to make sure you're not bullying the newbie too much. |
Coworker B | We would never! |
Omi | Don't worry, they've been treating me really well. |
Coworker A | Thanks for recommending him for the job. He's great. |
Imagawa | I know, right? Not only is he great at photography, he's also a great actor! |
Coworker B | Oh yeah, he said he's playing the lead this time. |
Imagawa | Wow, really? |
Omi | If you're free, why don't you come watch, Imagawa-senpai? |
Imagawa | Wow, yeah, definitely! Your plays are always full of action and really exciting to watch, so I'm looking forward to it! |
Coworker A | Anyway, you didn't really come here just to check things out, right? |
Coworker | Must be nice having so much free time. |
Imagawa | Oh, lay off. I'm here to ask Omi for a favor. |
Omi | Who, me? |
Imagawa | Could I ask you to help me out with these again this month? |
Coworker A | What's that? |
Omi | A survey for a local Veludo magazine. |
Imagawa | I need to collect 100 responses, and if I get Omi's guys to fill them in, that's 24 responses right off the bat. |
Coworker A | Wouldn't that be too biased? A quarter of the responses would be all actors. |
Imagawa | Same thing if I survey the entirety of Veludo, so it's fine. |
Coworker B | Haha, you're not wrong. |
Imagawa | They can write as much or as little as they want, I'll still pay you guys back. |
Omi | I'm interested in seeing what everyone writes, too. |
| (The question is, "What was the most delicious meal you've ever had in your life?", huh...) |
| (Food is a major theme in our play, so now I'm even more interested in seeing what everyone writes down.) |
| |
Omi | I'm home. |
Voiceover | "And the dark horse that takes first place is—" |
Guest | "I love Manpuku Eatery. I always look forward to eating there after practise..." |
Taichi | That looks so good! |
Juza | I'm hungry. |
Banri | Dude, you just ate. |
Taichi | Oh, welcome back, Omi-kun! |
Izumi | Welcome home! |
Omi | Hey, guys. Can you help me fill in some surveys again when you're free? |
Taichi | Yeah, sure! What's the survey about this time? |
Juza | "What was the most delicious meal you've ever had in your life?", huh. |
Azami | Tonkatsu, I guess? |
Banri | You're only saying that 'coz you just saw it on TV. |
Juza | It's pretty hard picking just one favorite. |
Omi | If you're having troubling picking a favorite, just write down something you'd like to eat again. |
Taichi | Oh! So, Omi-kun's— |
Juza | Mine would also be Omi-san's... |
Banri | Everyone's gonna put down Omi's cooking, huh. |
Omi | I'm glad you all like my food, but it's kind of embarrassing if all of you write that, so could you guys write down something that's not my cooking? |
Taichi | That makes things even harder! |
Azami | That doesn't leave me with much else... |
Omi | I'll make you guys whatever you write down for the survey as a reward. How's that? |
Juza | Really? |
Taichi | All right, now we gotta do this! |
Izumi | Hmm, which curry restaurant should I put down, then... |
Omi | Haha, I don't think I can beat whatever curry you're going to write down. |
Sakyo | Just make it yourself. |
Izumi | Yeah, but...! |
Juza | Pudding a la mode for the appetizer... Chocolate parfait for the main... |
Banri | Can you at least write down something all of us can eat? |
Juza | Shut up, I can write whatever I want. |
Banri | We just have to put down one thing! Why are you writing out an entire course?! |
Juza | Stop looking at my survey. |
Izumi | Calm down, guys, it's just a survey. |
Omi | Oh, right, Director. I think I told you before, but I'll be home late tomorrow. Could you handle dinner then? |
Izumi | Yeah, of course! You're having dinner with Nachi-san's parents, right? |
Omi | Yeah. I'm going to invite them to the play as well. |
Izumi | That's great! |
| (I'm sure Nachi-san's parents would be very excited to see Omi-kun leading again, after The Stranger.) |
| |
Nachi's Mom | Does it taste all right, Fushimi-kun? |
Omi | Yes, it's delicious. |
Nachi's Mom | Oh, thank goodness. |
Nachi's Dad | How's work treating you? Was it hard at first? |
Omi | Definitely. There's a lot I have to remember, but all my coworkers are really nice to me. It's a fun job. |
Nachi's Dad | I'm glad to hear that. |
Nachi's Mom | I'm sure Nachi would be proud of how far you've come, too. |
| We always put the flyers and photos you give us by the altar so he can see them. |
Omi | Oh, thank you. |
| This pork miso soup is amazing, by the way. You used a miso blend for it, right? Is it just red miso and white miso? |
Nachi's Mom | There's a bit of barley miso in there, too. We've never changed the recipe. |
| Nachi never liked his vegetables, but he'd eat them right up with this soup, so there was a time when I'd make this for him every day. |
| Even when we worked a lot of long hours and late nights, I'd make sure he could always come home to this soup. |
Omi | (I see... So this soup is the taste of home to Nachi...) |
| (The stock itself tastes really different from what I usually have at home, too. It's interesting seeing what makes each family's cooking unique.) |
| Thanks for the meal. |
Nachi's Mom | It was no trouble at all. |
Omi | Oh, right. I'm leading our next play, so please come along if you have the time. |
Nachi's Dad | The leading man! Sounds exciting. |
Nachi's Mom | I really enjoyed your last play, too. Take care not to hurt yourself, all right? |
Omi | Thank you. |
| |
Omi | I'll be going, now. Thanks for having me. |
Nachi's Dad | Oh, wait. There's something we want to give you. |
| Here, take this with you. |
Omi | That's... Nachi's bracelet. |
Nachi's Dad | We'd like you to have it, Fushimi-kun. |
Omi | Oh, no, I couldn't— |
Nachi's Dad | Nachi was wearing it when he passed, so to be honest, it's hard for us to look at, even now. |
| I'm sure Nachi would be glad if you were to have it. Only if you want it, of course. |
Omi | If that's the case... I'll take good care of it. |
Nachi's Dad | And this notebook, too. We found it in the back of Nachi's drawer. |
Omi | There's a big "TOP SECRET" written on it...? |
Nachi's Mom | He's just like a big kid, haha. |
| We've never opened it because Nachi would probably get mad if we did, but... |
| I dropped it when I was cleaning the other day, and accidentally saw what was inside. |
Nachi's Dad | Take a look. |
Omi | ...... |
| (Breathing techniques... Articulation exercises... Acting tips... He's got all of it packed pretty tightly on the pages.) |
Nachi's Dad | It looks like he was studying how to be an actor in his own way. |
| It's all basic techniques that I'm sure you already know how to do, but... |
| We'd like you to have it. |
Omi | (These aren't just notes on how to be an actor. It's proof of just how passionate Nachi was about acting...) |
| ...Of course. I'll take good care of it, too. |
Nachi's Dad | Thank you. |
| |
Omi | (flipping the pages) ...... |
| (Wow, I never knew he was studying this much...) |
| (He'd always joke about never taking notes in class, but look at all this!) |
| (He was working hard to be an actor, in his own way...) |
| (Oh, this is the last page...) |
| Hm? |
| ...... |
| "Disband the Wolves"...? |
