Coworker AFushimi, can you take this equipment to the car?
OmiSure.
Coworker BWait, help me with this reflector first!
OmiOkay.
Coworker BHigher. Higher... Right there! Sure is good having a tall guy around.
Coworker AThat's a wrap!
OmiGreat work today.
Coworker BAre you going to be okay for the shoot this afternoon? Let us know if it's too much.
OmiI feel fine, but thank you.
Coworker AI'm so glad you joined us. You've got a lot of stamina, you're eager, and you're a quick learner.
Coworker BBut don't push yourself, all right? Don't want you passing out on us.
OmiIt's all right. I want to make up for all the time I'll be taking off during the play.
Coworker AOh yeah, you said you were playing the lead this time?
Coworker BLooking forward to it! Good luck with your play!
???Great work, guys!
OmiImagawa-senpai?
Coworker AHey, what's up?
ImagawaJust popping by to make sure you're not bullying the newbie too much.
Coworker BWe would never!
OmiDon't worry, they've been treating me really well.
Coworker AThanks for recommending him for the job. He's great.
ImagawaI know, right? Not only is he great at photography, he's also a great actor!
Coworker BOh yeah, he said he's playing the lead this time.
ImagawaWow, really?
OmiIf you're free, why don't you come watch, Imagawa-senpai?
ImagawaWow, yeah, definitely! Your plays are always full of action and really exciting to watch, so I'm looking forward to it!
Coworker AAnyway, you didn't really come here just to check things out, right?
CoworkerMust be nice having so much free time.
ImagawaOh, lay off. I'm here to ask Omi for a favor.
OmiWho, me?
ImagawaCould I ask you to help me out with these again this month?
Coworker AWhat's that?
OmiA survey for a local Veludo magazine.
ImagawaI 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 AWouldn't that be too biased? A quarter of the responses would be all actors.
ImagawaSame thing if I survey the entirety of Veludo, so it's fine.
Coworker BHaha, you're not wrong.
ImagawaThey can write as much or as little as they want, I'll still pay you guys back.
OmiI'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.)
OmiI'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..."
TaichiThat looks so good!
JuzaI'm hungry.
BanriDude, you just ate.
TaichiOh, welcome back, Omi-kun!
IzumiWelcome home!
OmiHey, guys. Can you help me fill in some surveys again when you're free?
TaichiYeah, sure! What's the survey about this time?
Juza"What was the most delicious meal you've ever had in your life?", huh.
AzamiTonkatsu, I guess?
BanriYou're only saying that 'coz you just saw it on TV.
JuzaIt's pretty hard picking just one favorite.
OmiIf you're having troubling picking a favorite, just write down something you'd like to eat again.
TaichiOh! So, Omi-kun's—
JuzaMine would also be Omi-san's...
BanriEveryone's gonna put down Omi's cooking, huh.
OmiI'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?
TaichiThat makes things even harder!
AzamiThat doesn't leave me with much else...
OmiI'll make you guys whatever you write down for the survey as a reward. How's that?
JuzaReally?
TaichiAll right, now we gotta do this!
IzumiHmm, which curry restaurant should I put down, then...
OmiHaha, I don't think I can beat whatever curry you're going to write down.
SakyoJust make it yourself.
IzumiYeah, but...!
JuzaPudding a la mode for the appetizer... Chocolate parfait for the main...
BanriCan you at least write down something all of us can eat?
JuzaShut up, I can write whatever I want.
BanriWe just have to put down one thing! Why are you writing out an entire course?!
JuzaStop looking at my survey.
IzumiCalm down, guys, it's just a survey.
OmiOh, right, Director. I think I told you before, but I'll be home late tomorrow. Could you handle dinner then?
IzumiYeah, of course! You're having dinner with Nachi-san's parents, right?
OmiYeah. I'm going to invite them to the play as well.
IzumiThat's great!
(I'm sure Nachi-san's parents would be very excited to see Omi-kun leading again, after The Stranger.)
Nachi's MomDoes it taste all right, Fushimi-kun?
OmiYes, it's delicious.
Nachi's MomOh, thank goodness.
Nachi's DadHow's work treating you? Was it hard at first?
OmiDefinitely. There's a lot I have to remember, but all my coworkers are really nice to me. It's a fun job.
Nachi's DadI'm glad to hear that.
Nachi's MomI'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.
OmiOh, 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 MomThere'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 MomIt was no trouble at all.
OmiOh, right. I'm leading our next play, so please come along if you have the time.
Nachi's DadThe leading man! Sounds exciting.
Nachi's MomI really enjoyed your last play, too. Take care not to hurt yourself, all right?
OmiThank you.
OmiI'll be going, now. Thanks for having me.
Nachi's DadOh, wait. There's something we want to give you.
Here, take this with you.
OmiThat's... Nachi's bracelet.
Nachi's DadWe'd like you to have it, Fushimi-kun.
OmiOh, no, I couldn't—
Nachi's DadNachi 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.
OmiIf that's the case... I'll take good care of it.
Nachi's DadAnd this notebook, too. We found it in the back of Nachi's drawer.
OmiThere's a big "TOP SECRET" written on it...?
Nachi's MomHe'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 DadTake a look.
Omi......
(Breathing techniques... Articulation exercises... Acting tips... He's got all of it packed pretty tightly on the pages.)
Nachi's DadIt 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 DadThank 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"...?
