Gingaza Upper Management A: Ramona Wolf. You understand why you've been called here today, don't you? There's no place for disruptive elements, as we warned you beforehand.
Ramona: Yes.
Koyomi: (Ramona-san...)
Gingaza Executive: ...
Gingaza Upper Management B: You really did it. Despite our warning, you didn't change your attitude. Is that your declaration of intent? Wolf.
Ramona: ...Yes. I can't change my ways. I can't abandon everyone who's struggling just to save myself.
Ramona: If I did that, I'd lose sight of even my way of being as the actor 'Ramona Wolf' that Gingaza has evaluated.
Ramona: For the troupe to advance further, actors need to join hands with each other. ...This is my will.
Former Troupe Member A: What will? For a disruptive element who doesn't understand order as one who belongs to Gingaza and has spread discord, that's quite an arrogant way of speaking.
Former Troupe Member B: Exactly 'have some shame', I'd say? Speaking like a full fledged actor-it's too ridiculous to bear.
Koyomi: ...! However, there's no doubt that Ramona-san is an actor who has built up achievements like this performance and the Saint-Claud Guide.
Koyomi: It's also true that this matter was due to my inadequate supervision. I intend to thoroughly guide everyone so that such situations don't occur again.
Koyomi: So with all due respect, isn't it premature to decide on her withdrawal from Gingaza...?
Ramona: Koyomi...!?
Koyomi: (I was prepared...I'll accompany you as far as I can, Ramona-san...!)
Former Troupe Member B: Is that so? Honestly, I think we've already passed that stage. Senju Koyomi-san?
Former Troupe Member C: Is the tradition we've built up so light that we'd accept disruptive elements? You should understand that better than anyone, shouldn't you?
Former Troupe Member A: Even considering her achievements, she disrupted order within the troupe and caused unnecessary confusion. That alone is a sin.
Former Troupe Member A: You haven't been swayed, have you? As a member of the Senju family, you understand that you must condemn this matter together with us.
Koyomi: ...Yes.
Koyomi: (...As I thought, there are limits to how much I can protect Ramona-san from the fallout, given my position.)
Koyomi: (Not just as a member of Gingaza, but because of what I've built up as an actor of the Senju family.)
Koyomi: (Considering what I carry, I can't have my qualifications questioned here. ...I can't protect you, I can't become like you.)
Ramona: Even though I understand...! When I think I might not be able to stay here anymore, I'm scared to take that step...!
Ramona: Pathetic...! After saying it was all for everyone, here I am! Am I going to turn away from everyone and my own beliefs out of self-preservation...?!
Ramona: ...Yes. I can't change my ways. I can't abandon everyone who's struggling just to save myself.
Koyomi: (That day, the tears you shed thinking of other actors, and today, the will you declared.)
Koyomi: (Even while seeing that, I can only overlook it. Always like this...I boast about being a figurehead.)
Koyomi: (In reality, I'm not doing anything. Just like with Iroha-san. As I thought, for me...it's impossible.)
Gingaza Executive: The tradition we've built up...?
Gingaza Upper Management A: ...!? What's wrong, sensei? Is there some problem...?
Gingaza Executive: A problem? There are nothing but problems. It's been a problem all along.
Gingaza Executive: Times change. That's the way of the world. The value of tradition doesn't lie in continuing to maintain it.
Gingaza Executive: It lies in maintaining an unchanging axis that won't collapse even when swallowed by changing times. And in continuing to illuminate people's hearts unchanged.
Gingaza Executive: If you're trapped by maintenance, it can only lead to stagnation.
Gingaza Executive: I thought you understood that when we promoted scouting from overseas?
Gingaza Executive: Why are incompetent fools who don't even know the current situation surrounding the troupe standing in this place of discussion? That's truly the height of absurdity.
Ramona: ...!?
Koyomi: Sensei...!?
Former Troupe Member A: Do you understand what you're saying? We stand here as those who belong to Gingaza's tradition.
Former Troupe Member B: T-That's right. Ramona Wolf's way of being did disrupt the troupe's order-that's a fact, isn't it, sensei!?
Former Troupe Member C: With all due respect, do you understand what you're saying!? You know yourself that such an actor is not permitted by Gingaza tradition-
Gingaza Executive: Are you lot lecturing me about tradition? Me, who has been with this troupe for so long?
Gingaza Executive: Don't get carried away just because you've built up a little career, young lady. Whose stages do you think made your name?
Former Troupe Members: ...!!!
Koyomi: Wh...this is...
Gingaza Executive: I'll take charge of this matter concerning Ramona Wolf. You may all withdraw.
Ramona and Koyomi: I-I understand. / Y-Yes, understood.
Koyomi: (One of Gingaza's executives protected Ramona-san. ...Normally, this would be unthinkable.)
Koyomi: (Ramona-san's acting captivated sensei...come to think of it, this troupe has undergone dramatic changes since she joined.)
Koyomi: (And Ramona-san...you have finally become the trigger for decisive change in this Gingaza.)
Koyomi: Gingaza will change. Whether we like it or not.
Gingaza Executive: Sorry for calling you again so soon. Was there any inconvenience?
Ramona: No, not particularly...um, about the previous meeting...thank you very much.
Ramona: You protected me. Without those words, I would have been packing my bags by now.
Gingaza Executive: Don't worry about it. I just said what I'd been thinking all along.
Gingaza Executive: 'The Knights of the Round Table' was wonderful. You brilliantly portrayed a king suffering between duty and personal feelings.
Gingaza Executive: The management probably intended to overlap your situation at that time with Arthur whose kingdom was collapsing...but it exceeded expectations.
Gingaza Executive: As I thought, you have the ability worthy of being the standard bearer for the plan I envision.
Ramona: Standard bearer...?
Gingaza Executive: Yes. Ever since we invited you and other overseas actors, this troupe has shown change.
Gingaza Executive: And this change must not be extinguished. I believe it's a necessary change for Gingaza.
Gingaza Executive: Therefore, to incorporate such change into tradition, I'm planning to establish a new troupe that belongs to Gingaza.
Ramona: A new troupe...that belongs to Gingaza...?
Gingaza Executive: Yes, its name is...'Nebula'.
Ramona: Nebula...!?
Gingaza Executive: Establishment is still far off, but...I'd like to entrust you with being the troupe leader. Of course, feel free to use my name. I'll provide backing.
Ramona: Me, the troupe leader...but...
Gingaza Executive: Of course, I'm not asking for a clear answer right now. You have your circumstances. ...Just think about it.
Ramona: (A new troupe, and me as the leader...no good, my head can't keep up with all this.)
Ramona: (But...something like this was unthinkable at first.)
Ramona: (At first, there were few troupe members who showed understanding for what I said. Even Koyomi warned me to conform to the troupe's policies.)
Ramona: (But look at things now-hot pot, workshops...and in that meeting, even Koyomi protected me.)
Ramona: (And now, one of Gingaza's executives supports change, values me, and wants to entrust me with a new troupe.)
Ramona: What I've been doing...wasn't pointless after all. Thank goodness... eally, thank goodness.
Ramona: Right now, I'm just happy about that.
