Izumi Hmm, it’s not here either... (Homare-san said all that, but giving up like this is just sad.) (It’s something he got from his grandmother after all; the other day he was even standing in front of a watch store——) Oh, could it be——! Izumi Homare-san! Homare Is something the matter? You appear determined about something. Izumi Could you have sent your pocket watch for repairs? Homare Repairs? Izumi I saw you standing in front of a watch store the other day, so—— Homare Oh... No, I did not send it for repairs. Izumi Huh... Homare I was simply taking a peek since I happened to pass by. Izumi Is that so... Hisoka ...What’s this about? Homare Ah, you don’t know what happened because you were asleep. I lost my pocket watch. Hisoka Lost? Izumi We’ve looked everywhere, but we can’t find it... Homare No matter. That thing has been unneeded from the beginning. Izumi That’s... Hisoka ... Izumi ... (It’s finally the performance tomorrow...) (Overall, it’s gotten better... But as I thought, the problems with Homare-san’s Sagishima and Hisoka-san’s Shiki are still there.) Yuzo ... Izumi ...What do you think? Yuzo Looks like the one playing Shiki really can’t stand having Sagishima behind him. Hisoka ... Izumi Even though you’ve gotten used to it considerably, the awkwardness is still there. Yuzo Why can’t you deal with having someone stand behind you in the first place? Is it some kind of past trauma or what? Hisoka ... Izumi (I’ve been careful not to ask about the reason until now, but the cause must be related to his past after all...) Hisoka ...I don’t know. Yuzo You don’t know? Hisoka ...I forgot. Yuzo ...Which reminds me, you have amnesia, right? Then it’s impossible to deal with the fundamental cause of it. Izumi Even if you don’t know the cause, do you know the reason why it makes you uncomfortable when someone is standing behind you? Hisoka ...It feels like I’m about to move by reflex. Tsumugi I wonder if that means he senses some sort of danger. Tasuku I guess so, if he says it’s by reflex. Azuma He’s like a stray cat. Izumi What if you constantly stay aware of who’s standing behind you? If you know who it is then it’ll probably stop bothering you. Hisoka ...I’ll give it a try. Homare As I thought — how about I stand behind Hisoka-kun 24 hours a day from now on? Hisoka ...That’d be annoying. Homare I have marshmallows with me right now. Hisoka ...I feel like I can do it now. Izumi That’s fast...!? Tasuku Marshmallows are amazing. Tsumugi Well, in a sense Homare-san and marshmallows come together as a set, so it may be effective if you stay aware of having those behind you. Hisoka ...Got it. Yuzo Now we have the protagonist. Homare ... Yuzo In order to understand your character’s feelings, think about it thoroughly again and again and again. Don’t stop thinking about it even as you’re performing. Homare Think about it thoroughly... Yuzo And then all five of you, get the hang of acting in front of an audience again. Compared to the other troupes, you guys lack heat. Get your motivation up for the opening day tomorrow. That’s all I can say for now. Izumi Thank you very much. Tasuku Motivation, huh... Homare Shall I present a poem that will boost everyone’s morale? Tasuku No thanks. Tsumugi How about we perform some street acts for publicity and warm-up at the same time? It can also serve as a rehearsal in front of an audience. Izumi That sounds good! Azuma I don’t see why not. Hisoka ...I’ll stay aware of what I was told earlier. Tasuku It’s decided then. Homare Very well. Shall we head outside then?
