—Later

Christina
Oh, so this is "Sensoji"! I've always wanted to see it.

Ramona
Is that so? I'm glad then.

Christina
We have time today, so it looks like we can sightsee at a relaxed pace.

Ramona
Yes...

Christina
Rami?

Ramona
Hm?

Christina
What's wrong? You've been unresponsive at times.

Ramona
Really? I'm sorry, I seem to have been a bit distracted.

Christina
Are you feeling unwell or something? You don't have to force yourself to accompany me.

Ramona
It's not that. It's just...

Christina
What? Don't be so mysterious.

Ramona
...Would it be alright if we change our plans a bit?

Christina
...

Ramona
This is Sirius Theatre. Where Kathrina is.

Christina
Yes. I know the name, and I've seen pictures of it.

Christina
It seems to have quite a few fans. There are a lot of people hanging around.

Ramona
Yes. Especially with the recent performance, "The Demon's Friend," new actors have taken the stage. It's become quite a topic of conversation.

Christina
I see...

Ramona
But are you really okay with this? Coming to "The Demon's Friend" with me.

Christina
I don't mind. You had extra tickets, right? I was curious about Sirius's performances too.

Ramona
I see, that's good then.

Christina
Well, I am a bit reluctant to see Kathrina Griebel's face. It's been quite a while, but we haven't spoken once since we had that argument.

Ramona
...

Ramona
Kathrina has changed since coming to Japan. Like you, she's also looking for her own way in Japan.

Ramona
When I talked to her recently, she seemed to regret her actions. She said she wondered if there might have been another way.

Christina
That's too late now.

Ramona
Kathrina has grown too. She's different from before. I'm sure you'd understand if you saw her.

Christina
...

Christina
I am interested in how Kathrina Griebel has developed as an actor.

Christina
That girl who had more pride than anyone else, yet ruined everything just because she failed a little bit. It'll be interesting to see how she's doing.

Ramona
...

Christina
Well, shall we go, Rami? We've passed the opening time, haven't we?

Ramona
Yes, wait a moment...!

Koyomi
Fufufu, I got Yae-san's new bromide...!

Ramona
Excuse me, coming through.

Ramona
Chris, wait!

Koyomi
...Ramona-san?

—After the performance

Announcement
Today's performance has ended. When leaving, please make sure you don't forget anything-

Christina
...

Ramona
It was a good performance, wasn't it?

Christina
Yes.

Ramona
You think so too? This is my second time watching, but how did you feel about it?

Christina
...I was surprised.

Christina
She really has changed, hasn't she? To think she would show such a smile even during the curtain call...

Ramona
...

Christina
What on earth happened? Is it because of Hiiragi Noa's guidance...? She's a former Dai Star, right?

Ramona
Hey, if you're up for it, would you like to meet Kathrina?

Christina
Eh...!?

Ramona
She regretted saying terrible things to you. She wants a chance to start over.

Ramona
Kathrina was the one who gave me these tickets.

Ramona
...Kathrina is no longer someone who neglects her friends.

Christina
...

Ramona
Won't you give her another chance to start over?

Christina
...

Christina
Haah, alright.

Christina
If you insist that much...I'll go along with it.
