Previous Main Story Next
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?
TasukuThis 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.
TsumugiAlternatively, 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.
GuyI see....
HomareBoth interpretations make sense.
AzumaWhy don’t you try both?
GuyI 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.
GuyJust a little more....
TsumugiCould we try just more time?
HomareYes, 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.
GuyYes.
Izumi(...Tomorrow is the final performance. We ended up practicing hard every night after that.)
Hisoka...I’m sleepy.
AzumaWe can finally take a bath.
TsumugiHuh? The rain is really loud....
TasukuWhen did it start raining?
IzumiWas everyone too focused on practice to notice? There’s a major typhoon approaching.
TasukuSo it changed course.
AzumaI hope it doesn’t affect our performance tomorrow....
TsumugiOh no. I need to evacuate the plants in the yard—.
GuyI’ll help.
IzumiAh, we’ll help too.
Hisoka...Zzzz.
HomareWake 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.)
TsumugiWe finally made it to the last performance. Does the leader have anything to say?
Guy....
HomareHe’s talking to you!
GuyEh?
TasukuThe main lead is our leader.
GuyI didn’t know that... But what should I say?
TsumugiHow you felt during the run of this performance—anything is fine, really.
GuyWell 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....)
GuyEvery 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.
TsumugiLet’s make this our greatest final performance... For Citron-kun’s sake.
TasukuYou’re right.
HomareOf course.
Hisoka...Yeah.
AzumaLet’s do our best.
Izumi...Good luck, everyone!
*Buzz*
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—”
