{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=See.}}
{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=...Oh, yeah, you’re right. Actually, this is the first time I’ve seen Sakyo-san’s handwriting.}}

{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=Anyway, have you decided what to write for your message?}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=Yup. I pressed some flowers, so I was thinking of attaching them.}}
{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=Must be nice to have that sort of trick.}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=You haven’t decided yet, Tasuku?}}
{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=I’m bad at this sort of thing.}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=...This brings back memories from elementary school, when we all had to submit messages for our yearbook. Tasuku, you were the only one who had so much trouble writing that the yearbook crew member had to keep visiting you to collect your message.}}
{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=Look, I can’t help it. I can never decide what to write.}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=In the end, you only wrote one word—”Thanks”—right?}}
{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=Shut up. Stop talking about me, and just write your message.}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=Sure, sure.}}

{{Line|border=tsumugi|dialogue=(I didn’t think we could stand on stage together like this again.)}}
{{Line|border=tsumugi|dialogue=(I remember being surprised at how we were challenged to a duel act with GOD-za during our first performance...)}}
{{Line|border=tsumugi|dialogue=(But thanks to that, I think I was able to find my resolve. My resolve to pursue theater, and only theater, once more...)}}

{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(A bleak page is going to look even more dull when it’s after Tsumugi’s message. What should I do.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(A message to Director, huh. When I think about it, it’s hard.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(Of course I’m grateful to Director. I also get a good sense of her own passion towards theater every day; it’s inspiring.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(At first, I’d only joined because of a passive reason—I was rejected from all other troupes—but now, I’m glad I joined.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(Compared to when I was in GOD-za, I can really say what I want, and I’m allowed to perform as I please.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(GOD-za had a typical top-down decision-making system. Actors weren’t allowed to voice their opinions to Kamikizaka-san.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(All I could do was perform the role of the prince as the troupe demanded.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(Thanks to that, I gained lots of female fans, but it caused all sorts of ill effects, too.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(I was never good at dealing with women, and it stressed me out.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(When I think about it like that, Director is easy to talk to. Even if we clash over our opinions on theater, she doesn’t hold back, so I can relax.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(She always faces us straightforwardly, too.)}}

{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=“When Tsumugi and I auditioned for GOD-za together, I realized that Tsumugi was acting strange, but I couldn’t say anything.”}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=“Because I was the only one who was accepted, it felt like anything I said would come off as gloating, and I ended up not saying anything.”}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=“Then Tsumugi quit theater, and I really regretted not talking to him.”}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=“But all I could do was avert my eyes from my regret, and blame Tsumugi for quitting theater...”}}

{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=(If Director hadn’t pushed me forward back then, I might have faced Tsumugi the wrong way again.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(The Winter Troupe might have remained strained; we might have lost to GOD-za in our duel act.)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(So it’s thanks to Director, isn’t it...)}}
{{Line|border=tasuku|dialogue=(It makes me think about how influential she is in this troupe—not just during practice.)}}

{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=Don’t laugh.}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=It’s simple, and Tasuku-like.}}
{{Line|character=Tasuku|border=tasuku|dialogue=Let’s get it to the next person quickly.}}
{{Line|character=Tsumugi|border=tsumugi|dialogue=Wait one second.}}
{{Line/LIME|icon=tsumugi|character=tsumugi|dialogue=Homare-san, Hisoka-kun, are you in your room right now?}}
{{Line/LIME|icon=hisoka|character=hisoka|dialogue=Yup. Just woke up. Alice isn’t here.}}
