Hatsumi
Hm...? I shouldn't have any visitors scheduled...
Hatsumi
Haah...coming!
Hatsumi
Who is it? I'm busy right n-
Iruru
Hey there.
Hatsumi
Iruru...?
Iruru
Sorry for dropping by suddenly. I felt like you'd turn me down if I called ahead~
Hatsumi
What do you want?
Iruru
I made you lunch.
Hatsumi
What...?
Iruru
I thought you might not be eating properly, being so wrapped up in writing the script.
Iruru
So here I am, delivering Yorozu's healthy bento.
Hatsumi
You don't need to bother. You should be focusing on rehearsal.
Iruru
This is nothing, really.
Iruru
By the way, can I come in for a bit?
Hatsumi
Go home. Every minute, every second is precious right now.
Iruru
...Alright. But at least take the lunch box.
Hatsumi
H-hey!
Iruru
Can't waste something that's already made, right? Make sure you eat it.
Iruru
I'll come again tomorrow. Return the box then~
Hatsumi
What are you trying to do...?
Iruru
Well, I didn't expect you to accept me right away~...
Iruru
But sorry, Hatsumi. This time I'm serious.
Hatsumi
...Surely not.
Iruru
Delivery service here again today~
Hatsumi
You really came...
Iruru
Yesterday was Japanese, so today's Western. I'll take back yesterday's bento too~
Hatsumi
...Here you go.
Iruru
Oh, you're prepared. Yes, got it.
Iruru
How was it? Tasty?
Hatsumi
...Go home.
Iruru
Yes, yes.
Iruru
I'll be back again tomorrow~!
Hatsumi
What's with her...!
Iruru
Hel-looo!
Iruru
Hiii there~
Iruru
Yoohoo~
Iruru
Evening~
Hatsumi
...That makes it seven days.
Hatsumi
Here you are...
Iruru
Heya. I'm here again today.
Hatsumi
...You don't get bored, do you? Persistent.
Iruru
Huh, you're not telling me to go home today?
Hatsumi
I can't keep being so unfriendly...come in if you want.
Iruru
Hehe, then I'll take you up on that.
Hatsumi
...Rice balls and rolled omelette today, huh.
Iruru
Sorry~. I didn't have much time, so I made something quick.
Hatsumi
Anything is fine. It's not like I'm making requests.
Hatsumi
...So? What is it?
Iruru
Huh?
Hatsumi
You must have a purpose to go this far. Did Tetra-san ask you to keep an eye on me?
Iruru
"Keep an eye on" sounds terrible. She doesn't need to do that, you're writing the script, aren't you?
Hatsumi
Mm...
Iruru
This is my own decision. I'm doing it because I wanted to.
Hatsumi
Delivering lunch to me is what you wanted to do? You're strange.
Iruru
Of course, that's not my only aim. I have ulterior motives too.
Hatsumi
Oh...?
Iruru
I wanted to talk properly with you. To convey everyone's feelings in Eden.
Hatsumi
......
Iruru
You know everyone's worried about you, right?
Hatsumi
Yes... I've kept them waiting for the script-
Iruru
That's not it. We're worried about you.
Hatsumi
......
Iruru
Everyone thinks Eden needs you. That's why we want to help somehow.
Hatsumi
There's no need to worry about that. You all just need to do what you should be doing.
Iruru
That's exactly what we're doing. What we should be doing now is...standing by you.
Iruru
Eden has always relied completely on you. But I think that's wrong.
Hatsumi
...Do you intend to go against my ideas?
Iruru
That's not it. I still believe in you and plan to follow you, just like before.
Iruru
But we won't just leave everything to you anymore. We want to be able to support you too.
Hatsumi
!
Iruru
Nikako said something the other day.
Iruru
That even though it's sad and painful, you can always feel "hope" that makes you look forward... That's the tragedy Hatsumi portrays, isn't it?
Hatsumi
Hope...?
Iruru
But the current "Oedipus Rex" doesn't have that...
Iruru
The final piece that you're struggling to find. Could it be..."hope"?
Hatsumi
...!
Iruru
Why did you try to make the sad ending even more tragic? There must be a reason for that too, right?
Iruru
...Tell me properly.
Iruru
I want to know more. So I can continue creating good performances with you...!
Hatsumi
...Just wait a little.
Iruru
Neither I nor anyone in Eden...wants to wait anymore.
Hatsumi
I need time to make a decision.
Iruru
...Alright. If you drag this out any longer, we'll all come barging in next time.
Hatsumi
I'll keep that in mind.
