| Azuma | Go ahead. |
| Izumi | Excuse me- |
| Azuma | Fufu, I’ll give you a ticket in thanks. Talk to you another time. |
| Welcome. Sorry for keeping you waiting, director. |
| Izumi | Don’t worry about it - I’m sorry for interrupting your call. |
| Azuma | It’s fine. I was actually talking to Asajo-san. |
| Izumi | Really! Is she doing well? |
| Azuma | Yes. Recently she’s been obsessed with theater. |
| Izumi | Fufu, that makes me kinda happy. |
| (I remember Asajo-san was very helpful during our third show.) |
| Azuma | You came to film for the commemorative video, right? Let’s get started. |
| Izumi | Okay! First, please use this dice to choose the topic for your commentary scene. |
| Azuma | I wonder what topic I’ll get. |
| It says my topic is “A Time You Got Goosebumps”. |
| Izumi | (Again..) |
| Actually, Homare-san, who I just filmed, had the same topic - “A Time You Got Goosebumps”. |
| Azuma | Really? |
| Hm.. It won’t be interesting if we have the topic. |
| Izumi | (Azuma-san’s saying the same things as Homare-san..) |
| Azuma | Hey, director. I want to have a reroll. |
| Just one more time.. Is it ok? |
| Izumi | A-azuma-san, you’re too close..! |
| (I guess the previous two have also rerolled..) |
| I-i understand. Please roll one more time. |
| Azuma | Fufu, thanks director ♪ |
| This time, the topic is.. “Free”? |
| Izumi | “Free” means the cameraman, me in this case, thinks of the topic. |
| Azuma | Okay. I’m happy to have director think of a topic for me. What topic are you going to give me? |
| Izumi | Hm, let me think.. |
| Ah! How about “A Time You Burst Out Laughing?” |
| Azuma | Burst out laughing? |
| Izumi | For Nocturnality, putting aside scenarios, it was very effect heavy with a lot of lighting and background music. |
| Azuma | You’re right, and the costumes were very chic as well. |
| Izumi | Exactly. So, if there was a moment you laughed because of something like that, I would like you to tell me. How does that sound? |
| Azuma | I see. That’s a fun topic. |
| Fufu, then it’s definitely that scene. |
| |
| Izumi | (It’s the fourth night of performances - it’s the scene where Reo tells Kota that he’ll have to leave his apartment.) |
| Reo | “I’ve been in your care for a long time now. I wasn’t supposed to stay for this long, but it was just so comfortable.” |
| Kota | “You don’t need to be in such a hurry. You’ve been helping me out too.” |
| Izumi | (Despite seeming lonely, Kota accepts that Reo will leave.) |
| (Maybe it’s because we all went to the ocean together the day before the performances started, but they seem tired which helps bring out a raw, realistic element to their acting.) |
| Kota | “Come on, let’s celebrate your new start and drink tonight.” |
| “First, let’s toast with a beer-” |
| “!?” |
| Azuma | Here, Kota’s.. I mean, Tasuku’s stomach started growling. |
| Izumi | And if the theater is small, the audience can hear these kinds of things easily. |
| Reo | “Do you want me to cook something?” |
| Kota | “Yeah… sorry about that.” |
| Reo | “How about that seafood pasta you like?” |
| Kota | “Really? That pasta’s so good…” |
| |
| Azuma | We kept it going with an adlib, but it was so difficult to keep myself from laughing then. |
| Izumi | Haha, everyone was laughing in the wings. |
| (But that scene really showed how close the two got and made their separation even sadder.) |
| Azuma | If I choose this scene, I wonder if Tasuku will get mad at me. |
| But director’s the one who chose the topic, so I guess we’re partners in crime. |
| Izumi | Ahaha, I guess you’re right. |
| |
| Izumi | Thank you very much, now we’re done with filming the comment as well! |
| Azuma | Do I look good in the recording? |
| Izumi | Azuma-san always looks pretty, regardless of where I’m filming. Your skin looks perfect again today as well! |
| Azuma | Really? That makes me happy. |
| Guy | Excuse me. Is it okay for me to come in now? |
| Azuma | Ah, Guy. Sorry for keeping you waiting and having you leave for a little. |
| Guy | I don’t mind. I want the first time I see your comment to be when I see the official recording. |
| Izumi | (So that’s why Guy-san was out.) |
| Azuma | Well, now I’ll take my leave. Director, thanks for filming me. |
| I’ll be looking forward to your comment, Guy. Good luck. |
| Guy | Okay. |
| Izumi | Good work, Azuma-san! |
| Azuma | Ah, I almost forgot. Guy, about that - it’s ready, so let’s go pick it up later. |
| Guy | Thank you. I also want to go shopping, so I’ll get my car out. |
| Izumi | What’s ready? |
| Azuma | Fufu, you’ll learn tonight. Well, see you later. |
| Izumi | (Thinking back on it, Tsumugi-san told me to keep my schedule open for tonight. I wonder if they have something planned.) |
| Guy | Director, I ask that you film me next. |
| Izumi | Ah, yes! I look forward to working with you. Here’s the dice to pick the topic with. |
| Guy | ….. |
| Izumi | ? What’s wrong? |
| Guy | Nothing, I just remembered how when we were still living in the Royal Palace, Citronia used to love watching a show where they rolled dice like this. |
| Izumi | (Citron-kun watching a Japanese talk show in the Zahran Royal Palace.. It feels surreal when I try to imagine it.) |
| Guy | Let’s try rolling it. |
| I got “A Time You Made a Mistake”. |
| Izumi | (It’s the same as Tsumugi-san’s! It’s amazing that they keep getting the same ones.) |
| Guy | A time I made a mistake, huh.. Hm… |
| ………. |
| Izumi | Guy-san? Are you frozen!? |
| Guy | No, I’m fine. It’s just I have so many stories of times I made mistakes and can’t choose one. |
| I apologize, I’ll choose one soon. |
| ……….. |
| Izumi | (He stopped moving again!) |
| U-um! How about we change the topic! If you would like to, please roll the dice one more time! Here you go! |
| Guy | Is that okay? I apologize. |
| Izumi | This time, it’s “An Unforgettable Scene”! |
| Guy | There are a lot of these too. |
| Izumi | Is it the last scene of the day we had the power outage? |
| Guy | Of course, that last scene where everyone supported me is very important. |
| But I’ve watched footage of that scene before, and because of the power outage, it’s pitch black. |
| Izumi | Oh, you’re right.. |
| Guy | But, there’s one more scene that I remember vividly. I’ll choose that one. |
| |
| Izumi | (This is the 5th day, the scene where the Phantom and Richard get into a fight) |
| Phantom | “I’ve held on for all these years to have my revenge.” |
| Richard | “Let go of me! P-painful..” |
| “You ugly apparition. You should be constrained and lonely in hell.” |
| “You have no right to be on this dazzling stage!” |
| Phantom | “…!” |
| Chris | “Erik, you can’t! If you attack him, you will never be allowed back on stage! I want to hear you sing!” |
| Phantom | “——” |
| Izumi | (Richard’s line right now was an adlib.. It’s a line that was cut during rehearsals.) |
| (But the way the Phantom expresses anger after being provoked with this line adds impact to the scene.) |
| |
| Guy | Back then, I couldn’t say the line “The curtain hasn’t fallen yet”, and everyone helped me practice. |
| Arisugawa added that line during that as a way to help me. |
| Arisugawa told me then - |
| “I thought that Guy-san might actually be quite a competitive person, so I put that line in—” |
| “I guess I wasn’t completely wrong.” |
| Izumi | I see. |
| Guy | I didn’t fully understand then.. After that, during Die by the Sword, I was told the same thing by Takato and finally got it. |
| Izumi | Fufu, I didn’t know that. |
| Guy | The rest of the Winter Troupe helped find a me I didn’t even know about through acting. |
| Though I am exasperated with myself for even thinking that I was an android despite being this age… |
| With the Winter Troupe, I was able to regain myself. |
| Again, I would like to thank you and Citronia for allowing me into MANKAI Company. |
| Izumi | I’m also happy that Guy-san is part of the company. Thank you. |
| If you mention those feelings of yours in the comment, I’m sure everyone will appreciate it. |
| Guy | Ah, that’s a good idea. |
| |
| Izumi | Good work with the filming. |
| Guy | After me, it’s Takato, right? |
| Izumi | Yes. Isn’t Guy-san going to go out with Tsumugi-san? |
| You were talking about getting something ready.. What are you doing tonight? |
| Guy | It’s nothing special.. Actually, it’s something we do often.. |
| I can’t tell you as Yukishiro has sworn me to secrecy, but look forward to tonight. |
