| Banri | Well, guess that's all for today's meeting. |
| Sakyo | Can I have a word? |
| Banri | Sure, go ahead. |
| Sakyo | I'm sorry for yesterday's mistake. I'll be more careful from now on. |
| Also, up till now, I stood one step behind everyone as an actor in order to make way for the younger members. |
| But Director motivated me, so. From now on, I'll stand on stage ready to swallow you lot. |
| So I have one thing to say to you: don't get swallowed. That’s all. |
| Banri | ....The second part doesn't sound like something an old man who messed up yesterday should say. |
| Omi | Oi, Banri. |
| Sakyo | Well, that's true. That's why this old man has to get serious on stage. Watch out. |
| Banri | ....Scaaary. |
| Juza | ...I'll fight back with everything I’ve got. |
| Sakyo | Bring it on. |
| Omi | Haha, please go easy on me. But if that's the case, I can't lose either. |

| Capone | “Seems like things are going well with Lansky.” |
| Luciano | “It’s all thanks to you, boss. Things worked out just as you planned.” |
| Capone | “That’s fine and all, but don’t put too much faith in him.” |
| Luciano | “What do you mean?” |
| Capone | “I mean what I say.” |
| Izumi | (Sakyo-san’s determination is different from before....) |
| |
| Capone | “Luciano, to think that you were the traitor.” |
| Luciano | “You've got it wrong, boss! I never betrayed—” |
| Capone | “Lansky has the proof. There’s no escaping this one.” |
| Luciano | ——. |
| Izumi | (Banri-kun was swallowed....) |
| (He already had a menacing aura, but now his drive is making him seem even more like a gang boss.) |
| (Every time Sakyo-san appears on stage, things fall into place. This is really good....) |
| |
| Banri | —Shit. |
| Sakyo | Didn't I warn you? |
| Juza | I definitely won’t lose. |
| Banri | I'll get you next time. |
| Sakyo | Give it your best shot. |
| Taichi | ....... |
| Omi | Taichi? |
| Taichi | ....Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom. |
| Izumi | .... |
| (Everyone else is on a roll, but Taichi-kun looks like he’s doing poorly...) |
| Taichi-kun—. |
| Sakyo | Leave him. |
| Izumi | Eh? But—. |
| Sakyo | There's nothing you can do right now. |
| Izumi | ——. |
| (I wonder if Sakyo-san knows something?) |
| |
| Reni | What in the world is going on? |
| Taichi | ....I'm sorry. |
| Reni | Tomorrow is the final performance—and yet, instead of falling, their reputation keeps growing and growing. |
| Taichi | The costumes and props are more guarded now, so I've been messing around in other ways as much as I can, but... |
| Reni | Well, fine. That’s enough for what’s over and done with. |
| All that's left is the final performance. Make sure you absolutely ruin their performance. |
| I don't care if you start wailing on stage, or attack the guests in the front row. Do whatever you can to destroy it. |
| Taichi | ..... |
| Reni | You understand that if you mess up here—you'll never have a chance to stand on stage again, right? |
| And don't even think you can stay in that troupe. I'll be watching you at the theatre. |
| Taichi | ——. |
| Omi | ...Taichi. |
| Taichi | !! |
| Omi | ...Are you okay? |
| Taichi | ——. |
| Omi-kun.... What should I do, what should I do.... I.... |
| Omi | ....Calm down. |
| File:Act 3 Ch 31.png |
| Taichi | It was me... All of it. The one who wrote those letters, tore up the costumes, and hid the props. |
| Omi | ...I see. |
| Taichi | Omi-kun, I... I need to step down from the stage, right? There's no way I can continue like this, right? |
| But, you know, I didn't want to do this at all—. |
| Omi | Calm down. |
| Taichi | ——. |
| Omi | Let's go talk to everyone together. |
| I knew you were carrying a burden, Taichi. But I couldn't do anything for you. I'm responsible too. |
| Taichi | There's no way they'll forgive me—there's no way they can forgive me for all that.... |
| But I want to act with everyone.... I want to stand on stage with everyone till the end.... |
| Omi | It's all right. It's all right.... |
