Ramona
I just wanted them to reconcile. That's all it was.

Ramona
(Both Kathrina and Chris have changed since our time in Germany. I thought now that their sharp edges had softened, they might...but...)

Christina
Today's performance, the leads were good. But your acting was self-centered. Your fellow actors must have had a hard time.

Kathrina
You haven't changed at all. I'm self-centered and my co-stars have it rough? Maybe it looks that way because you have a twisted nature?

Christina
...But I'm sorry. I really don't want to see that girl's face. When I talk to Kathrina, I start to hate myself for not being able to stay calm.

Koyomi
Not everyone is seeking salvation. Is Kathrina-san the type of person who wants that kind of help?

Koyomi
Don't people regret the past precisely because they want to take responsibility for their actions?

Koyomi
What you think should be isn't necessarily the right answer.

Ramona
(In the end, Koyomi and Xue were right. Far from reconciling, I only made things worse-)

Ramona
It's my fault.

Ramona
...What should I have done? Are you saying I should have pretended not to see and gone on without addressing it...

Ramona
...

Ramona
(I'm the one who made them look like that. It's just an excuse at this point, but all I can do is apologise.)

Ramona
...

Ramona
Please at least answer the call, Chris...

Ramona
...You won't answer.

Ramona
Kathrina...

Ramona
...Of course she won't answer. This is my just punishment...

Ramona
(A message from Chris. I'm afraid to open it...)

Christina
"Did something happen?"

Ramona
...

Ramona
"I made you feel bad. I'm sorry."

Christina
"Sorry I left early. Let's hang out together again sometime."

Christina
"If I pass the audition, I'll send you tickets. Come see me."

Ramona
(She's not mentioning Kathrina...given how we parted ways, I suppose...)

Ramona
"About Kathrina-"

Ramona
(...I'm overstepping again. This isn't the message I should be sending...)

Ramona
"I'm hoping for good results."

Ramona
...This is an important time for Chris too. I know I shouldn't send something that would upset her...

Ramona
I know, but...

Ramona
I should at least send an apology to Kathrina too...

Ramona
"Sorry for barging into your dressing room suddenly."

Kathrina
"It's not your fault."

Kathrina
"Good night."

Ramona
Neither of them wants to let me hear their voice. Not Chris, not Kathrina...

Ramona
(...Burying my head in the pillow won't solve anything. So what am I doing...)

Ramona
(The ceiling is blurry...)

Ramona
...It's those two who should be crying, not you.

Ramona
You can't keep using a cracked plate. Once a crack appears, it can never return to how it was...

Ramona
I couldn't...save either Kathrina or Chris...instead, I broke them, hurt them...

Ramona
...Apologising won't solve this. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...

Ramona
...This is just me wanting forgiveness. Are you that self centered, Ramona Wolf...

Ramona
...I want to apologise to both of them. I must apologise. But what face should I show them when we meet...
