The Position of a Dai Star

Kathrina: ...

Kathrina: Whoʼs there?

Noah: Thatʼs supposed to be my line.

Kathrina: Hiiragi-san...

Noah: Why are you here at this hour?

Kathrina: For no reason, really.

Noah: That definitely doesnʼt seem that way... If thereʼs something on your mind, Iʼd like to hear you out.

Kathrina: ...I wanted to try standing here.

Kathrina: At the position Niizuma stood performing in The Phantom of the Opera.

Noah: I see... The position where Christine enters the stage.

Kathrina: I wanted to try to understand what she saw from here.

Kathrina: I thought, maybe that would give me an idea of how to become a Dai Star.

Kathrina: I felt the urge to do something, and before I knew it I was standing here.

Kathrina: You see, Iʼd never doubted that I would be the first one to become a Dai Star at Sirius.

Kathrina: But before I knew it, Kokona, whoʼs new to the theater, was chosen for a leading role twice. And Niizuma became a Dai Star.

Noah: Frustrated?

Kathrina: Of course! Itʼs only natural!

Kathrina: But, you know, this feeling isnʼt bad at all. Somehow, thatʼs what I came to think.

Kathrina: Just a little while ago I wouldnʼt have said something like that. I probably would have simply given up on everything.

Noah: If you stick to this mindset, youʼll be able to reach even greater heights. That I can tell you for sure.

Kathrina: Hiiragi-san...

Noah: Next, you should turn those blazing feelings into your strength. Thatʼs how dazzling Dai Stars are born.

Kathrina: What you say is very abstract. This isnʼt like you.

Noah: Haha... Letʼs say, for a grown-up watching young talents is always exciting.

Noah: Being an actor means forging oneʼs own future by getting new roles. But you know that, right?

Kathrina: Of course.

Noah: Then, next time you should get the leading role. Throw at it all youʼve got and surpass everyone at Sirius.

Kathrina: Surpass... everyone...

Noah: If you do that, then you may be able to see a way to become a Dai Star.

Kathrina: ...Very well. Iʼll make sure to get the leading role!

Kathrina: The audience... And everyone in Sirius... Iʼll make everyone look only at me!
