| Izumi | (This happens every time, but... once we’re in the running period, everything goes by so fast.) |
| (Everyone has been steadily improving since the first day, and we’ve been getting amazing feedback.) |
| (But....) |
| Tasuku | “Chris! Run!” |
| Tsumugi | “Come with me, Erik—!” |
| |
| Guy | “The curtain has not fallen yet—.” |
| No, I expressed too much emotion. Should I hold back more? |
| Tasuku | This is the scene where the Phantom has been released from his desire for vengeance, regaining his true heart as a singer. |
| I think you can blend in some intense emotion. |
| Tsumugi | Alternatively, now that he has accomplished his revenge, he’s possessed by song; in one sense, you could say he’s gone completely insane. |
| Maybe you could express a kind of sheer madness, as if his only reason for living is this obsession with the stage. |
| Guy | I see.... |
| Homare | Both interpretations make sense. |
| Azuma | Why don’t you try both? |
| Guy | I should. |
| Izumi | (Everyone has been practicing late every night. Especially this last scene, where Guy-san still isn’t satisfied with his acting....) |
| Good work, everyone. You should probably stop soon to save your energy for tomorrow. |
| Guy | Just a little more.... |
| Tsumugi | Could we try just more time? |
| Homare | Yes, I don’t want to leave things hanging. |
| Izumi | (I thought Winter Troupe was the coolest of the four troupes—since when did they get so hot-blooded....) |
| All right, then. Let’s work till we’re satisfied. |
| Guy | Yes. |
| |
| Izumi | (...Tomorrow is the final performance. We ended up practicing hard every night after that.) |
| Hisoka | ...I’m sleepy. |
| Azuma | We can finally take a bath. |
| Tsumugi | Huh? The rain is really loud.... |
| Tasuku | When did it start raining? |
| Izumi | Was everyone too focused on practice to notice? There’s a major typhoon approaching. |
| Tasuku | So it changed course. |
| Azuma | I hope it doesn’t affect our performance tomorrow.... |
| Tsumugi | Oh no. I need to evacuate the plants in the yard—. |
| Guy | I’ll help. |
| Izumi | Ah, we’ll help too. |
| Hisoka | ...Zzzz. |
| Homare | Wake up, Hisoka-kun! You’re going to work too! |
| |
| Izumi | (The trains were delayed, but we have a full audience... Thank goodness.) |
| (The typhoon is supposed to pass by the time the performance is over, so it looks like everyone can get back safely.) |
| Tsumugi | We finally made it to the last performance. Does the leader have anything to say? |
| Guy | .... |
| Homare | He’s talking to you! |
| Guy | Eh? |
| Tasuku | The main lead is our leader. |
| Guy | I didn’t know that... But what should I say? |
| Tsumugi | How you felt during the run of this performance—anything is fine, really. |
| Guy | Well then.... |
| I lived my entire life fulfilling my duties as Citronia’s servant. That was the only thing on my mind. |
| I thought that so long as I could faithfully carry out commands, I didn’t need human emotions, affection, or friends. |
| But thanks to everyone here, I regained my memories, my feelings, and my true self. |
| I came to think that acting with everyone—and spending time with everyone—was fun. |
| Izumi | (Guy-san....) |
| Guy | Every time I act, I feel like I’m regaining a piece of my true self. |
| I was able to realize that I am human thanks to everyone here. I’m truly grateful. |
| This entire time, I had been wondering why Citronia left me in this country. I thought he might have thrown me away. |
| But now I simply wish to thank him. I’m so glad I met you all in this country; I’m so glad I can act with you. |
| For our last show... I want that line we practiced over and over again to be a success—something I can be satisfied with. |
| Tsumugi | Let’s make this our greatest final performance... For Citron-kun’s sake. |
| Tasuku | You’re right. |
| Homare | Of course. |
| Hisoka | ...Yeah. |
| Azuma | Let’s do our best. |
| Izumi | ...Good luck, everyone! |
| |

| Chris | “Where is it coming from?” |
| “...But, oh... What a lonely, heart-permeating aria.” |
| Izumi | (Amazing... You can tell that everyone is far more spritied than usual.) |
| |
| Chris | “I want to prove that you exist. Won’t you sing on stage once more? That’s why you continue to sing, right?” |
| Phantom | “...That’s impossible. I am but a shadow.” |
| Izumi | (Guy-san is also more immersed in his role.) |
| |
| Chris | “Richard. I accuse you of attempted murder by burning Erik’s face!” |
| Izumi | (Here’s the last scene....) |
| (Let’s deliver that line in its best form, this time for sure.... I’m sure Guy-san isn’t the only one who feels that way. Everyone does.) |
| Raoul | “I think that’s a poor excuse. And more than that, the man himself will testify.” |
| Richard | “Erik has died! He cannot stand as a witness—” |
 |
| *Lights go out* |
| Izumi | !? |
