Hatsumi
Hmm...I see.

Hatsumi
(So the World Theatre League has designated 'The Forgotten God's Lamentation and Hunger' as the required play for Eden...an original script based on constellation mythology. This is what Eden will perform...)

Hatsumi
(The overall direction and atmosphere of the script are similar to what we usually perform.)

Hatsumi
...They seem to have done their homework properly. Huh, how honouring.

Hatsumi
(But the plot written in this script is merely what a typical troupe would do. It's commonplace, lacks depth, devoid of any surprises whatsoever.)

Hatsumi
By first delineating the scope for deviation, they're trying to absorb my troupe into themselves, hm?

Hatsumi
...Heh heh, how amusing.

Hatsumi
(But that won't happen.)

Hatsumi
(I wasn't invited here to walk on the rails laid by those who wield power.)

Hatsumi
(Other troupes would probably accept the given assignment straightforwardly, follow their instructions, and perform as-is.)

Hatsumi
(But my Eden has no intention of being satisfied with something so tedious. We have no desire to gain the world's evaluation through something like that.)

Hatsumi
(We chose the World Theatre League stage as a place to show the theatrical world 'the true stage'.)

Hatsumi
(Not relying on Senses alone...when all the elements-script, set design, direction-come together, a true stage that quenches the thirst of the modern age is born.)

Hatsumi
Hmph...the bigwigs of the World Theatre League better be looking forward to this.

Hatsumi
(Even they probably don't think I'll accept everything smoothly...)

Hatsumi
(I'll surpass even those expectations and astound every audience member.)

Hatsumi
(Besides, it's not explicitly stated what changes are allowed or their scope. They can't accuse me of breaking any rules.)

Hatsumi
...Now then, how shall I prepare this?

Hatsumi
(This will place some burden on those who belong to Eden...)

Hatsumi
(But they're people who understand me well. At this point, they won't call it reckless.)

Hatsumi
(And...in exchange for putting them through this much effort, I'll make it the supreme stage for all of them.)

Hatsumi
...
