Tetra
I must say, I'm surprised. You coming to visit me so suddenly.

Daikoku
I'm sorry. But...I really wanted to talk to you, Tetra-san.

Tetra
Honestly...was it Iruru who told you my address?

Iruru
Ahaha, sorry about that.

Iruru
But Daikoku seems so serious about this...

Nikako
We were curious too, so we tagged along.

Shigure
I tried to stop them, though?

Daikoku
Please tell me. Whatever you know about my Lord.

Tetra
I don't know that much either. Besides, I feel uncomfortable talking about someone else without their permission.

Daikoku
I understand...but I want to know more about my Lord. I feel I'm not qualified to walk the same path with her unless I do.

Daikoku
I think you know my Lord better than anyone else, Tetra-san...so...

Tetra
...Haah. When we talked before, I had a feeling this would happen. Right on the mark.

Tetra
Well, I understand your feelings in turning to me. I doubt she'd talk about it herself.

Tetra
Hatsumi has many enemies... Perhaps it would be better if I told you.

Daikoku
So...

Tetra
Have you all had dinner yet?

Nikako
Not yet...

Tetra
I'll order takeaway, choose whatever you like. We'll talk after that.

Shigure
Is that alright?

Iruru
You don't need to be so considerate...

Tetra
It's not that. It's more convenient to say it slipped out in the heat of drinking, don't you think?

Tetra
Now then...the food has arrived. I'll have a drink too.

Daikoku
Yes...

Tetra
Don't be so tense. I'm just going to accidentally let things slip from now on.

Tetra
...Where should I start?

Tetra
Ah yes, perhaps how we met would be good.

Tetra
By then, I was already in poor health. I was often absent from Eden.

Tetra
I'd left the theatre's management to others. It was a dark period, you could say. There were no good mentors...

Tetra
The declining Eden only cared about the reputation among regular patrons, becoming such a dull theatre company that the social gatherings after performances were considered the main event.

Tetra
The content of the performances was also just to please the regular patrons. Prioritising the wrong things, repeating a small cycle...Iruru, you'd know about this too.

Tetra
Of course, this happened because of my inadequacies. But my body wouldn't do as I wished, and I was troubled about what to do.

Tetra
Time had passed since the founding. I'm getting on in years. Maybe giving up was one answer-. Just as I was thinking that, I met her.

Tetra
Renjakuno Hatsumi.
