| Kazunari’s father | I’ll be taking my leave now—. |
| Izumi | Thank you very much for today. |
| Misumi | See you~. |
| Kazunari’s father | Sumi~kun, good luck with your performance. |
| Misumi | Yup! |
| Kazunari’s father | Well then, excuse me. |
| Misumi | .... |
| Izumi | .... |
| Misumi | ...Hey, Director-san. |
| Izumi | Yes? |
| Misumi | I’ve been all cloudy and gloomy ever since Kazu told me about study abroad. |
| It’s something amazing, but for some reason I couldn’t tell him, “good luck, do your best.” I felt gloomy, and I didn’t like myself for feeling that way. |
| I’m Kazu’s friend. I need to be happy for him and support him.... |
| Why do I feel so gloomy? |
| Izumi | ...I think it's because the idea that Kazunari-kun might study abroad makes you feel lonely. |
| Misumi | Lonely...? |
| I see.... |
| I think my heart felt tight and gloomy like this when Jii-chan passed away, too. |
| But I forgot about those feelings when I joined this troupe. Because for so long, I wasn’t lonely anymore.... |
| So this is what it’s like to feel lonely. |
| Does everyone else feel this way too? |
| Izumi | Yes. I’m sure Kazunari-kun feels the same. |
| Just as Kazunari-kun’s father said, Kazunari-kun treasures theater and everyone in the troupe; I think that’s why he’s so unsure about studying abroad. |
| Misumi | I see.... |
| Izumi | In the end it’s all up to Kazunari-kun to decide, but there should be something you can do for him as his friend. |
| Misumi | .... |
| ...I can support him. So that Kazu can be true to his own feelings when he decides. |
| ...Because I always want Kazu to be smiling. |
| Izumi | You’re right. |
| |
| Kazunari | .... |
| (It’s still blank....) |
| Sigh~.... |
| (Seriously, what do I want to do.... I don’t think I had this much trouble even when I was choosing my career path.) |
| (I decided on my arts university right away, and when I was studying for high school entrance exams—.) |
| (Treasure “this very moment in time” so you won’t regret it... Hey, middle school me, isn’t that kinda abstract? Aren’t you kinda cheeky?) |
| (I have no clue what the heck I want to do....) |
| |
| Kazunari | Someone save me~... Just kidding.... |
| Yuki | Okay. |
| |
| Kazunari | Wha? |
| Yuki | .... |
| Kazunari | Yukki...? |
| Misumi | Kazu, let’s paint! |
| Muku | Kazu-kun, can I use these tools? |
| Kazunari | Huh? Y-yeah, sure.... |
| Tenma | Misumi said you were feeling down, so we should cancel practice and paint together today. |
| Kumon | Last time we played hide-and-seek; this time, we’re drawing! |
| Tenma | All we’re doing is playing around. Geez. Practice will be strict starting tomorrow to make up for it. |
| I’m borrowing this. |
| Yuki | Ah, I’m going to use that color. |
| Tenma | What? Who cares about the color? Fine, I’ll take this one—. |
| Misumi | I’m using yellow~! |
| Tenma | ——. |
| Kumon | I’ll take purple! |
| Tenma | Then—. |
| Muku | I think I’ll use light blue. |
| Tenma | You guys are just choosing the colors I’m trying to use on purpose! |
| Yuki | Victim complex. |
| Misumi | Kazu, you too! Which color~? |
| Kazunari | Uh, umm... Guess I’ll take green. |
| Misumi | Okay, I’ll come up with the themes~. The first one is triangles! |
| Tenma | Don’t tell me you’re going to make us draw triangles nonstop. |
| Muku | Umm, triangles, triangles. |
| Kumon | Triangles, triangles~.... |
| Yuki | The Triangle Aliens are multiplying. |
| Muku | Wah...! |
| Yuki | Are you okay? |
| Muku | Aah, I’m sorry. Some paint got stuck to the canvas.... |
| Kumon | Woah, Muku! Dynamic! |
| Misumi | Ah! The stain is a triangle! |
| Tenma | It’s a miracle. |
| Yuki | Amazing, Muku. |
| Misumi | I’ll add some hands to it, and~ it’s Sankaku-kun! |
| Kumon | Muku is in the lead for best triangle! |
| Kazunari | (I still have this assignment; I probably shouldn’t be playing around, but... Well, this is fine.) |
| Alright~, I’m gonna paint the biggest triangle~! |
| Misumi | Yeah, let’s paint it~! |
| |
| Izumi | (Practice got cancelled today out of the blue. What should I do....) |
| ...Hm? |
| (I hear some noise from the storage room...?) |
| .... |
| Muku | Ahaha! |
| Tenma | Wai—hey, don’t squirt paint at me! |
| Yuki | It’s your fault for standing there. |
| Misumi | I’m done~! |
| |
| Izumi | (They asked to cancel practice because there was something they wanted to do, so I wondered what it was, but.... Ah, geez, the floor and the walls are all splattered with paint.) |
| Kazunari | I just drew a seriously neat one! |
| Kumon | Kazu-san’s art is as cool as always~! |
| Kazunari | Right, right~! |
| Izumi | (Well, I guess this is fine....) |
