Banri Itaru-san, let's do some rounds in HELL tower. Itaru Sure. Banri Awesome. A new weapon just dropped and I really wanna blow guys to pieces. Itaru Seriously? Then I'll go with paper defense, so take care of me, thanks. Banri No way, even I can't handle a solo run. Omi How are your portraits coming along? Taichi I'm almost done. But we only have five days till we present them... It’s tough. Omi Yeah, I'm not familiar with this kind of thing either. Though I kind of have a sense of what to do when it comes to stage directions. Juza ...The stage directions are what I’m having more trouble with. Taichi I feel you! Omi Juza, where are you stuck? Juza Are you allowed to help me? Sakyo As long as you don’t give away the contents of your portrait, it shouldn’t be a problem. Juza I dunno if I’d say I’m stuck, but... I don't really know what you’re supposed to do with stage directions. Omi I don't think you need to do anything fancy. It might be helpful to imagine a camera—I ask myself, “How would this look if this were a photograph?” and figure out points to create some variation. Sakyo It’s a one-man monologue, after all. Even if it’s just five minutes, if you don’t move, it’ll get slow. Juza ...Yeah. Taichi That notebook is filled with notes from corner to corner! Juza Don’t look. Omi You're also the most passionate about practice—maybe Juza is gonna come in first? Banri ..... Itaru Are you done? With, what was it—your "portrait"? Banri Haven't even touched it. Itaru Really? Banri Even if I reflect on my life, everything was so easy that nothing left an impression on me. Itaru Seriously? Your game balance is messed up. Banri Yeah, man. Super ultra easy mode. So even if they say, "Biggest regret of my life," I don't have a clue. Well, I'll wing it somehow. Itaru H—m.... well, even if you wing it, they're prolly gonna find out. Banri No, I'll definitely pull it off. Itaru ....I don't think you'll fool Director-san. Probably. Banri ....Itaru-san, I didn’t think you were the kinda guy who’d say that. Itaru That so? Well, do what you can. Otherwise, this place is doomed. Banri I’m easily the best; I don’t even have to try. Itaru ...Oh, shit. I'm gonna die. Banri Heyyy!? Itaru-san, your armor is actually shitty! Itaru Didn't I tell you? I'm levelling this character. Banri Are you for real!? Izumi —Okay, time for a break. Come back in an hour. Yuzo Yo. Izumi Huh? Yuzo-san, hello. Yuzo I came to check in. How are the portraits going? Banri So-so, I guess. Taichi I'm pretty much done. Juza ...Same here. Omi I’m also done. Yuzo Then show me. This is your mid-way report. I’ll call you into the theatre one at a time; the rest of you, wait outside. First is Juza. Juza ....Yes. Banri Oh man, that was close. Thank god I wrote mine yesterday. Taichi Yesterday—wait, you did it in one night!? Banri I couldn't think of a "regret," y’know. Sakyo You're as careless as usual. Banri Well, it'll work out somehow. It doesn’t matter what I say as long as it’s good. Sakyo Looks like you still don't understand the meaning of this assignment. Banri What? Omi But presenting in front of other people... that’s making me nervous. Taichi Yeah! Sakyo There’s still time. Even if it’s no good now, you can still change it. Omi You’re right.
