Now, to the Ball!
Kathrina
......
Kathrina
(That was an amazing stage. My heart still hasn't stopped pounding...)
Kathrina
...But. Is it okay for me to feel this pounding?
Kathrina
(Even though I was so arrogant, when it mattered, I was just a wooden puppet-)
Kathrina
...So I fled to Japan. And now I'm basking alone in the happiness of success.
Kathrina
(It sounds nice to call it growth, but the people who were trampled on probably don't feel that way...)
Kathrina
......
Kathrina
I-
Kathrina
Oh? Who could that be?
Kathrina
-Mona-san?
Ramona
Kathrina! Over here!
Kathrina
Mona-san, what's this sudden summons about?
Ramona
Well, it's to celebrate the successful performance.
Kathrina
...!
Ramona
Yes, you were magnificent. To celebrate, I'll treat you to anything today.
Kathrina
Magnificent...huh.
Kathrina
As an actor, I'd rather be treated because 'I was moved by your performance' than for a 'celebration of success'.
Ramona
True enough. Of course I was moved.
Ramona
That's exactly why you should let me pay today.
Kathrina
...No thanks.
Ramona
...? What's wrong, looking so gloomy? Could it be you're not satisfied with that performance, Kathrina?
Kathrina
...No, I think the acting was the best I could do right now.
Ramona
I'd say so. It was truly magnificent.
Ramona
I was worrying a bit selfishly, so all the more-you know.
Kathrina
You were worried too, Mona-san?
Ramona
Well...yeah. After all, the program was 'Cinderella'.
Kathrina
......
Ramona
Ah, but I believed you'd definitely pull it off. And you showed me a stage even more wonderful than I imagined.
Ramona
We have to celebrate this, right?
Kathrina
...I wonder about that. Does my performance really deserve unreserved praise from Mona-san...?
Ramona
What's wrong, Kathrina? It's a stage you and your comrades poured your souls into creating, isn't it?
Kathrina
That's right. ...The person who I said something similar to in the past probably thought so too.
Ramona
...!
Kathrina
Don't worry, it's not just you. Honestly, there are plenty of actors who aren't even at a level worth considering.
Kathrina
But if you waste my time, I won't forgive you. I can't stop in a place like this. I have to become a World Dai Star.
Kathrina
I understand now that I was wrong back then. But-
Kathrina
Even if I understand it now, I don't think Chris, who was told that, can be satisfied. Rather-
Kathrina
She might think it would be more refreshing if I failed miserably, don't you think?
Ramona
...Do you really think so?
Kathrina
......
Ramona
......There's not just one reason I called you out today.
Kathrina
Huh...?
Ramona
I have a message for you from Chris.
Kathrina
...!
