Panda
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Katorin.
Panda
This isn't what I intended.
Kathrina
...I see.
Kathrina
It's not like...I'm angry. I understand those feelings too.
Kathrina
(In the end, Panda and Sasuga have remained awkward since that day, and the three of us ended up in intensive rehearsals under Hiiragi-san's direction)
Kathrina
(No matter what state the actors are in, the performance date doesn't change. We have to somehow complete 'Peter Pan')
Kathrina
Straighten your back, Kathrina Griebel. You're the daughter of a World Dai Star and an actor of Sirius.
Kathrina
I have to keep it together, at least. If I collapse along with those two, it'll be over.
Kathrina
Good morning.
Chisa
'No, no. I won't go with you, Wendy'
Panda
'Peter... Shall we find your mother?'
Chisa
'No good. I just want to stay a child forever and ever. Even if I met my mother, she'd say I've grown too big'
Panda
'But...'
Noa
...Stop there.
Noa
It's better than before. But both Wendy and Peter Pan look like they don't trust each other.
Noa
Make more eye contact with each other. Express your relationship properly in the parts without dialogue too.
Noa
At this quality level, we can't perform it. It's harsh, but you understand that best yourselves, don't you?
Chisa
...
Panda
Yes. ...I'm sorry.
Noa
Let's take a short break.
Kathrina, Panda, Chisa
Thank you very much.
Panda, Chisa
...
Kathrina
...
Kathrina
(The rehearsal didn't progress again. We kept getting the same instructions repeated about Panda and Sasuga's acting)
Kathrina
(I'm not Mona-san, so I don't think you can't make a good stage without bonds between actors)
Kathrina
(But that's about actors being professional and keeping things separate, and mixing personal and professional like this is failing as a professional)
Kathrina
(...If it were the old me, I would never have forgiven this. I would have gotten angry about being unprofessional and left the rehearsal room)
Kathrina
(Even now, it's not like I can forgive it, but...)
Christina
Theatre becomes a good stage only through cooperation with teammates. Yet you only kept hurting your teammates.
Kathrina
...
Christina
Trying to push responsibility for things not going well onto others. You were trying to cover up your own anxiety. I can't forgive you for that.
Kathrina
...You're right.
Kathrina
You're absolutely right.
Kathrina
...I'm truly, truly sorry.
Kathrina
I want to become an actor who can stand proudly alongside Papa and Mama. That's what I thought when I joined Sirius.
Kathrina
It's not just about acting. Just being good at acting isn't enough to make a stage run smoothly.
Kathrina
Because a stage is made by everyone together...
Theresa
Kathrina noticed something important at Sirius.
Kathrina
Yes. So please watch over me as I grow.
Kathrina
...I have to get it together. I absolutely won't let the stage fail.
Kathrina
Besides... a separation like me and Chris doesn't suit those two.
Kathrina
...Hey, Panda.
Panda
Katorin. ...It's about rehearsal, right? I'm sorry.
Kathrina
No. It's about you and Sasuga. What's been happening since that public rehearsal anyway?
Panda
Ah...
Panda
...Actually, I still haven't been able to apologize since that day... Sassu seems to have started avoiding me too.
Panda
When I thought that forcing an apology would just be self-satisfaction, I couldn't do anything anymore...
Kathrina
...I see.
Panda
I'm really sorry. I've been wasting time in rehearsals too, haven't I?
Kathrina
You do intend to make up, right?
Panda
...Yes. Of course, I have to prioritize Sassu's feelings, but...
Chisa
...
Kathrina
...Hey, Sasuga—
Chisa
Sorry, I'm going outside for a bit.
Kathrina
...
Kathrina
Come back by the time limit.
Chisa
Yeah.
Chisa
...Sorry.
Noa
...
Noa
Panda—
Kathrina
Wait, Hiiragi-san. ...Could you leave this to me?
Noa
To you, Kathrina?
Kathrina
I'll definitely figure something out.
