Kathrina
A message from Chris...? Why...?
Ramona
Well, because she saw that stage too.
Kathrina
...!
Ramona
I understand the feeling of wanting to say something to you, who played the lead.
Kathrina
...I see.
Kathrina
(...A message from Chris. I'm scared to hear it...but-)
Kathrina
...Thank you. Tell me. What did she say?
Ramona
...You have quite a 'good look' on your face.
Kathrina
I have a duty to accept her feelings. No matter how much they might hurt me...
Ramona
...You'll become a Dai Star while carrying the 'feelings' of someone you once hurt?
Kathrina
That's right. In the past, Mona-san said that a stage is completed through comrades, didn't you?
Kathrina
I can understand that opinion now. But-
Kathrina
On top of that, it's a fact that not everyone can become a Dai Star. There are actors who can and actors who can't.
Ramona
......
Kathrina
If that's the case, then isn't a Dai Star someone who stands carrying all of it-the frustration and helplessness of those who couldn't make it, as well as their hopes and dreams?
Ramona
...That's right. I think so too.
Kathrina
So I'll accept Chris' feelings too.
Kathrina
My past failures, my past outrages...honestly, I want to look away-but-
Kathrina
That incident is also one of the factors that shaped who I am now. I'll accept it all, swallow it all, and become a Dai Star.
Ramona
...Magnificent. Then I'll convey Chris' message.
Kathrina
...!
Ramona
'I won't lose'-that's what she said.
Kathrina
Huh...?
Ramona
Heh heh...Chris isn't honest either. She seems to have been quite captivated by your performance.
Kathrina
By my performance...?
Ramona
Yes. Otherwise...such words wouldn't come out. Because she was frustratingly captivated, she wishes to climb to those heights herself.
Ramona
It's something all of us experience at least once, right?
Kathrina
My performance...resonated with Chris...?
Ramona
Yes, that's right.
Kathrina
...Yes. I'm happy. That she acknowledged my performance. And-
Kathrina
That she'll continue on the path of theatre. So much.
Ramona
Then we really must celebrate. Come on, order whatever you like. Don't hold back.
Kathrina
Thank you, Mona-san...!
Ramona
Ah, that was delicious...! But I ate a bit too much.
Kathrina
I know...
Ramona
...? What's wrong? Is your stomach so full you can't move?
Kathrina
...I was thinking that under this same sky, Chris is working hard too.
Ramona
...That's right.
Kathrina
Thank you for today, Mona-san. For delivering such wonderful words.
Ramona
I already received my thanks earlier. That 'thank you' just now, you should say it to her in person someday.
Kathrina
But I don't know Chris' contact information. And asking through you feels...somehow awkward.
Ramona
Then surely, there's no problem. If you're walking the same path, you'll definitely meet face to face eventually.
Kathrina
...That's right. Then by that time, I need to polish my acting too. Because I can't lose to you two!
Ramona
Yes, that's the spirit, Kathrina. Let's work hard together. Aiming for those heights called Dai Star.
