| Tsumugi | “That soul’s radiance is a light that goes beyond thousands of years—a light that illuminates even the bowels of the Earth. It is a galling, accursed heavenly gospel.” |
| Hisoka | … |
| Tsumugi | How was it? |
| Hisoka | ...I think that was good. |
| Tsumugi | ...From your point of view, what kind of a character is Lucifer? |
| Hisoka | ...I think he’s lonely. |
| Tsumugi | Lonely? |
| Hisoka | Lucifer is obsessed with the soul of a human called Mark. No matter how many times he reincarnates, Lucifer will always get close to his soul. |
| However, his feelings would always be unrequited and he will never be able to get his hands on Mark’s soul. He will always be separated from his soul. |
| I’m sure he’s never been able to get rid of the pain since it’s hard to be separated every time. |
| In the end, he’s left all alone. After his precious one disappears from the world, he has to spend his time alone. |
| He continues to suffer as long as he lives… His pain is one that will last forever… It must be very hard on him. |
| Tsumugi | ...You’re right. |
| Hisoka | My precious one has also died, so I can relate to him. There were also times when I wonder if it’d be better to forget it. |
| But it’s different now. |
| Because of that precious one I lost, I’ve come to love such a pain. Because of that person, I’ve decided to continue living along with this pain without erasing it from my mind. |
| ...Did that not make any sense? |
| Tsumugi | It might be so, but… I think what you said may be true. |
| One’s true feeling is not something that can be distinguished by logic. |
| Hisoka | ...Yeah. |
| Tsumugi | I have my fellow troupe members, my fellow Winter Troupe members, a childhood friend I grew up together with, my family, my grandma, and Zabby. |
| Therefore, I don’t know how it really feels to be lonely, how sad it is to be separated from your loved ones. I can’t refer to my own experience to express such feelings… |
| Is it alright if I use your feelings towards your past to portray Lucifer’s sadness? |
| Hisoka | Yeah. I’m happy if it can help you... |
| Tsumugi | Thanks. |
| Hisoka | Oh, and I’ve just thought of something. |
| It may be better to express his sadness through actions too, and not only lines. |
| The way you move right now pays attention to delicacy and beauty, but if you want to express a pain that is so painful your heart is falling apart… |
| “That soul’s radiance is a light that goes beyond thousands of years—a light that illuminates even the bowels of the Earth. It is a galling, accursed heavenly gospel.” |
| Tsumugi | —. |
| I can really feel how Lucifer is struggling inside. |
| Can you teach me how to do that act just now? |
| Hisoka | It may be a little bit different from your usual acting, though… |
| Tsumugi | It’s okay. Through Lucifer, I want to portray something that Tsumugi Tsukioka could have never done before. |
| I want to take up any challenge. |
| Hisoka | ...Got it. |
| Tsumugi | That movement is like a dance, huh. |
| Hisoka | Try to put your feelings into your movement… If you do that, you can do it naturally… |
| Tsumugi | I see… |
| Oh, yeah. I’m going to confirm it with the director too. |
| |
| —. |
| How was it? |
| Izumi | I think it was really good! Rather than focusing on the lines like before, you’re able to convey his sadness now. And I like how the ambience greatly changed. It was good. |
| Tsumugi | It’s all thanks to Hisoka-kun. I appreciate it. |
| Hisoka | …I’m glad that I could be helpful to you. |
| Izumi | Let’s go with that feeling for the opening scene, then. Maybe we can also make use of that for other scenes. |
| Tsumugi | I agree… Though I think we can make the opening scene more intense. |
| Izumi | There’s no compromise, as expected. |
| Tsumugi | Yes. |
| Hisoka | ...So are you going to hear Azuma’s story tomorrow? |
| Izumi | Azuma-san? |
| Tsumugi | I’m thinking of getting some clues for my role… |
| Izumi | I see. Seems like you can learn about the devils’ alluring beauty from him. |
| Tsumugi | Yeah. Since he has lots of experience in life, I feel like I can learn some views that I’ve never thought of before. |
