Chapter 7: Broken Stage
Announcer: Today's performance has finished. Thank you for coming here today.
Spectator A: What happened to today's play... Did they run into some trouble?
Spectator B: Did they have to adlib part of the performance?
Spectator A: Well adlibs are fine...
Spectator B: The climax was a bit different to the original work. Did they make some alterations to it?
Spectator A: Didn't it look like the lead actor was a bit anxious?
Spectator B: It's possible that that's also part of the performmance.
Spectator B: That would be very like Eden.
Daikoku: I wonder if Daikoku's alright... After the curtain call, she went off somewhere without saying anything...
Shigure: Who knows. Just leave her alone.
Nikako: ...Surely there was something going on? The play ended all of a sudden.
Nikako: I was standing behind the stage so I couldn't see much of what as going on. I couldn't even tell if something went wrong...
Daikoku: ...
Shigure: You don't have to worry about that. You still have your head attached, Miss Jokanaan.
Iruru: ...
Hatsumi: There's no need to worry.
Hatsumi: Iruru I'll just tell you this one thing.
Hatsumi: My ideal will not be broken by your ego.
Hatsumi: Iruru, show me your evolution.
Hatsumi: You said you wanted to play a lead with one of my scripts right?
Hatsumi: This play was your chance to do exactly as I planned.
Hatsumi: How many times did you think I bet on you? So you could succeed?
Iruru: ...
Iruru: ...
Hatsumi: So this was where you went.
Iruru: Ah...
Hatsumi: ...
Iruru: ...Hatsumi.
Hatsumi: A while ago, I told to you perform from the bottom of your heart. And you said that you would fulfill that.
Hatsumi: That was the case up until the real thing, and you promised you would bet on yourself.
Hatsumi: ...But you went and relied on your Sense?
Iruru: ...
Iruru: I didn't like it.
Iruru: I didn't want it to be like that...!
Iruru: It's better to deliver a passing performance than to have the occasional one fail...!
Iruru: And then you had to go ahead and seal away my Sense! I can't believe you did that in the middle of the show!
Iruru: Of course the audience is going to be thrown off by that...! Everyone knew that something weird was going on. And thats why I...!
Iruru: I...
Hatsumi: Is that all you have to say?
Hatsumi: I believed in you...
Hatsumi: I believed in you! That's why I did all this preparation for you!
Hatsumi: And still...
Hatsumi: Why?
Iruru: ...
Nikako: C-calm down you two...!
Nikako: Why are you two yelling all of a sudden?
