Previous Event Story
IzumiIt's the first time I've gotten off at this station, but it's quite packed.
OmiI haven't come for a while either; I feel like it's changed quite a bit.
IzumiIs it still far from here?
OmiNo, about ten minutes on foot.
IzumiHis parents aren't coming today, are they.
OmiYeah, it seems the circumstances weren't right. They told me to send you their regards.
IzumiI see.
OmiDirector, thanks for calling the two of them.
The other day, I went to thank them again. I delivered the photos I didn't develop for a long time.
IzumiPhotos?
OmiPhotos of Nachi in a suit, and a group photo with the members of 『Wolf』. It's the only photo we have with everyone, from before and after.
I was always afraid of facing Nachi and the others, so I kept the film stowed away.
Perhaps, somewhere in my heart, I was feeling the debt I had to pay now that I was the only one still living.
To live, and to chase the dream of being an actor that Nachi couldn't fulfil......
So I averted my eyes from everything of the past.
Even my habit of putting myself last might have been because of that.
IzumiI see......
OmiBut in the photo, Nachi was smiling.
He was there ― not the resentful Nachi from my dreams, but how he was back then.
There's no way he wouldn't have supported me. If our positions were reversed, I would have supported him.
He was my close friend. I trusted him; he was the one person I could have at my back above all others.
IzumiYeah. That's right. His parents must have been happy with the photos, right?
OmiYeah. Very much so. I should have brought it to them sooner.
They told me to send some photos of me once in a while too from now on.
They want to watch over me with Nachi in heaven as I work hard as an actor......
Izumi......Good for you, Omi-kun.
OmiYeah. It's thanks to you, Director.
Izumi(I really am glad......Omi-kun has finally been able to release himself from his past regrets.)
Omi......
Izumi......
Omi......Nachi, I'm sorry I couldn't come for so long. After I ran into your parents, it was difficult for me to come.
It was a lack of filial piety, or rather, a lack of friendly piety, maybe. Some thing like that.
I came to show you the photos too.
You really looked horrible in that suit. Even your mother laughed looking at that photo, you know?
Izumi(Huh? There's a yellow sticker on the photo. I definitely gave that sticker to Taichi-kun......)
Omi-kun, what's that sticker for?
OmiAh, this is......just a little something.
Izumi?
OmiJust as you said, it was good that we took that group photo of 『Wolf』.
You, and everyone else, remain here as you were back then. And in my heart, too ――.
Izumi(They were very precious people to Omi-kun.)
OmiAnd there's someone I want to introduce to you today, Nachi.
Izumi?
OmiThanks to this person, I was able to move forward.
I was able to chase the dream I had intended to carry in your place as my own.
It's not just this person. Right now, I have precious friends just like with 『Wolf』 back then.
From now on, together with them and the Director, I'm going to act seriously, so you won't be able to make fun of me.
Izumi(I can feel Omi-kun's resolve......He'll definitely grow more as an actor than he has thus far.)
(Please watch over him, Nachi-san......)
OmiWell then, shall we go? Thanks for accompanying me, Director.
IzumiNo, I'm glad I was able to come with you. I feel like I understand you more than I did before.
OmiNext time, I might invite Taichi and the rest of the Autumn Troupe. I want to introduce them properly to Nachi.
IzumiYeah! I'm sure they'll all be happy.
TaichiAh! Good timing!
SakyoHurry up, you two.
IzumiWhat's going on? You're all gathered together.
BanriWe're taking a commemorative photo with everyone in the Autumn Troupe.
JuzaWe figured you'd be back soon, so we've prepared.
OmiA commemorative photo?
TaichiCome on, if we don't hurry the sun will set. Line up, line up!
IzumiO-Okay.
OmiBut why a commemorative photo all of a sudden?
TaichiTo commemorate!
BanriWhat.
TaichiUmm,『Stranger』 ――.
SakyoThe final performance finished last week.
TaichiTo commemorate one week since the conclusion of the play!
SakyoWhat's with that.
BanriOi, you go more over there.
JuzaWhy do I have to move. You go over there.
BanriNormally, the leader, ie. me, would be the centre.
JuzaWho cares. Just having your hair parted in the centre is enough for you.
BanriAre you picking a fight!?
IzumiYes yes, you two, don't fight! Both of you can stand in the middle!
Banri......
Juza......
IzumiDon't glare at each other; look at the camera!
SakyoHonestly, what are we doing.
TaichiHurry!
IzumiYou too, Omi-kun, quick, quick!
Omi―― Yeah.
IzumiAlright, everyone smile!
Banri......
Juza......
Sakyo......
Taichi......Omi-kun, when you picture it, what colour sticker will you put on?
OmiThat's obvious, right?
TaichiRight!
