A Crumbling Play

Kathrina: (Hiiragi-san meant what she said. She wouldn’t lie.)

Kathrina: (So the only thing I can do now is believe her.)

Kathrina: (I have no choice but to trust her judgement, since she has faith in my acting skills even though I no longer do.)

Kathrina: (That’s why I have to give it my all. It is my duty as the leading actress to make this play a success.)

Kathrina: (For the girls who are working so hard, for Hiiragi-san… But first and foremost, for the audience that will come to watch our play――)

Kokona: Kathrina-chan! It’s your turn!

Kathrina: Ah… S-sorry. I’ll be right there!

Kathrina: (No… This again… I don’t understand what’s happening on stage or what the actors are up to…)

Kathrina: (I need to focus… To use my Sense!..)

Kathrina: (What’s this? Why? I can’t see anything… and hear no sound…)

Kathrina: (What happened to my Sense?.. Hey… What’s the matter with it?..)

Panda: Kathrin! Earth to Kathrin!

Kathrina: Ah… Huh? Am I… on stage?

Panda: Hey, isn’t that a bit of a harsh joke? Remember, we’re supposed to be serious even during rehearsals!

Panda: Naturally, we should use our Sense, right? There’s no point in acting without it.

Kathrina: Y-yeah… Right… Otherwise…

Panda: Kathrin?

Kathrina: Sorry… I’m really sorry…

Panda: What? No way… Kathrin… Your Sense…

Noah: Kathrina, please, come off stage for today.

Kathrina: Hiiragi-san…

Noah: You’re dismissed from rehearsals for a while. For now, focus on getting proper rest.

Kathrina: …Understood.

Kokona: Kathrina-chan…

Noah: What do you think you’re doing? We’ll continue without her. Make sure to work hard, so your performance is perfect by the time she returns.

Shizuka: Are you still planning to keep her as the lead?

Noah: Of course.

Shizuka: Is there any point in forcing her to play though? I’m not so sure…

Noah: …
