Ramona
I'll say it as many times as needed-I have no intention whatsoever of rejecting you, Kathrina! The words I just received make me genuinely happy!

Kathrina
But...

Ramona
What reason would there be to push away someone who acknowledges their mistakes and is trying to move forward?

Ramona
Your changes are a joy to me as well. Your efforts have surely been conveyed to everyone in Germany too.

Ramona
That's probably why Chris decided to give you tickets, don't you think?

Kathrina
...Thank you, Mona-san.

Kathrina
But I know there are people who don't feel that way. The kids at Sternlicht Theatre probably still resent me.

Ramona
That's not...

Kathrina
No. It's only natural. I did enough to deserve it. Meeting Chris again made me realise that...

Kathrina
When I become a World Dai Star, I might perform in Germany. I might end up on stage with them again...

Ramona
With the Kathrina you are now, there's no need to worry even in Germany. If anyone complains, I'll mediate for you. Right by your side.

Kathrina
Thank you.

Kathrina
But...I'm okay with that.

Ramona
But...

Kathrina
I need to accept it. Just like I faced Chris.

Ramona
...

Kathrina
...What's with that face?

Ramona
Nothing...

Ramona
...I thought I'd been watching over you all this time.

Kathrina
When you say things like that...I've come to feel happy about it.

Kathrina
But you're really such a meddler. To think you were planning to come see my performance all the way in Germany.

Ramona
Huh...?

Kathrina
What's with the "huh"?

Ramona
No, I said I'd stand by your side...

Kathrina
Fufu, what's that about?

Kathrina
Well, maybe that kind of future would be nice too.

Kathrina
Wait, what are we talking about? That's not it...

Kathrina
I won't look away from what I've done anymore. I'll accept everything, overcome it, and move forward.

Ramona
...

Kathrina
Mona-san?

Ramona
...No, I'm just glad to hear your declaration. Really, that's good.

Ramona
It's already dusk. We've been talking for quite a while.

Kathrina
Though I feel like I've been doing most of the talking.

Ramona
Not at all. I spent a meaningful time too.

Ramona
By the way, do you still have the tickets I gave you? You didn't drop them somewhere...

Kathrina
Of course not. They're important to me.

Kathrina
...I need to properly watch Chris's performance.

Ramona
...You really have changed.

Kathrina
That again? How many times are you going to say the same line?

Ramona
I'm just honestly saying what I think.

Ramona
Hey, Kathrina.

Kathrina
What?

Ramona
You'll become a splendid actor. I truly believe that.

Kathrina
Fufu...that's too early to say. I'm going to become a World Dai Star from now on.

Ramona
Yes...that's right.

Ramona
You've really...become admirable.

Ramona
The friends at Sirius helped Kathrina grow...

Ramona
I see...my help wasn't needed after all...
