Chapter 7: The Two Meeting at the Mirror

Lecturer: Kathrina-san, excellent work.

Lecturer: The scene with the egg withing a cramped space, and depicting the lonely chick and then showing the journey of the chick finding companions. You wonderfully demonstrated the emotions of the chick.

Kathrina: thank you very much.

Lecturer: ALright next. Shizuka,-san, if you could.

Shizuka: Alright!

Shizuka: ...

Shizuka: (The theme is "Hope and Despair of Loneliness" I've had a similar experience in the past.)

Shizuka: (I am the Sense that was born from Kokona. I have never seens another such thing in this world.)

Shizuka: (Kokona is the only one for me.)

Kathrina: (Shizuka is lying on the floor. I wonder what she's trying to express? She's curled up like a fetus--)

Shizuka: (In the beginning when I first awoke, I had no idea what I was supposed to be.)

Shizuka: (And then I met her.)

Shizuka: (Back when I was young and innocent, those warm moments were a treasure to be cherished. It was at the pier where I learned the joy of acting.)

Chisa: A satisfied expression... What is she expressing with that body language?

Kathrina: She's looking at someone having fun and laughing. In that case... Could this be a memory with Kokona?

Shizuka: (But this moment wouldn't last for long. The both of us will split, her one and only friend, to be forgotten--)

Shizuka: (When I woke up once again, I realised what I was.)

Shizuka: (At the park on a rainy day, there was a girl crying. I reached out my hand into the reflection in the water. But I wouldn't reach her.)

Shizuka: (I am alone.)

Kathrina: (After miming meeting at the mirror, she collapses onto the floor... Is this a reflection of thee sadness being separated from Kokona?

Kathrina: (Her ability to express herself like this with words is...)

Chisa: Shizuka's amazing. Just looking at her makes my heart ache...

Shizuka: (But I didn't give up. We met once again on the bullet train.)

Shizuka: (I was born in order to make Kokona a World Daistar. I have decided that that was my mission...!)

Chisa: Hmm? Is she brekaing out of the mirror?

Kathrina: Looks like it. She's trying to break out of her enclosed world. She's completely different than she was before. She's struggling but still pushing forward.

Shizuka: (And so... I want to stay by Kokona's side wherever she is. I want to shine together with Kokona by her side.)

Shizuka: (That is what I wish from the bottom of my heart.)

Kathrina: ...

Shizuka: pant...pant...

Shizuka: That's all.

Lecturer: Wonderful.

Lecturer: A wonderful performance about the nuances of the soul... I am quite surprised to see this level of performance.

Lecturer: Everyone, a round of applause for Shizuka-san.

Shizuka: Ah...

Shizuka: Thank you very much...!

Kathrina: Good work. It pains me to say, but I'm in awe.

Shizuka: Thank you...

Shizuka: But, that performance was inspired by you.

KAthrina: Is that so?

Shizuka: When you were playing the egg and and the chick, it reminded me of my past. I thought about an act where I meet at a reflection.

Kathrina: A reflection huh. That does sound fitting for you and Kokona.

Shizuka: You realised that...?

Kathrina: I've heard about your past with Kokona.

Kathrina: Would've been great if she was here...

Chisa: Yeah, I wanted her to see that.

Chisa: But maybe, you were able to express like this because Kokona's not around...?

Shizuka: That might be the case. It would be quite embarrassing to act that out right in front of her.

Shizuka: Oh well... It might be nice to show her when we meet up next.
