Kokona
Alright! Let's all do our best cleaning!

Shizuka
I'll put the brushes here.

Kokona
Yeah! Thanks, Shizuka-chan. I think I'll do the tile cleaning then\~.

Chisa
...

Kokona
Sasuga-chan! If you want, would you like to clean tiles with me? You were really good at it before, so I'd be happy if you could teach me how.

Chisa
...Okay.

Panda
Then I'll wipe the mirrors starting from that end.

Kathrina
(Even here, those two are acting separately)

Kathrina
(I get that it's awkward, but when it's this obvious, it makes things difficult for us too...)

Kathrina
(No, those two are probably trying not to involve us)

Kathrina
Hey, Shizuka. Do you ever fight with Kokona?

Shizuka
With Kokona? Hmm...

Shizuka
We might have little arguments about daily things like laundry or sleeping habits, but we don't really fight.

Shizuka
Lately we've had more opportunities to seriously exchange opinions about stage and acting matters, and while we might disagree, it doesn't turn into fights.

Kathrina
...Well, that's what I expected. You two really get along great.

Shizuka
Are you worried about Panda and the others?

Kathrina
Yeah. Those two have been awkward ever since the public rehearsal.

Kathrina
They're childhood friends, right? So they should just have an honest talk already, but I wonder why they don't.

Shizuka
That's such a Kathrina opinion. But maybe it's hard to talk precisely because they're close?

Kathrina
Why would that be?

Shizuka
Well... Actually, never mind that topic.

Shizuka
So, is Sasuga and Panda being like that because of a fight?

Kathrina
More like a fight... there seems to be various things. When those two are awkward, it throws us off too.

Kathrina
Haah, I wish they'd just make up already.

Shizuka
Oh?

Kathrina
What are you grinning about?

Shizuka
I was just thinking that Kathrina has started caring about the relationships between troupe members too.

Kathrina
How rude. Of course I grow too.

Shizuka
Hehe, sorry sorry.

Kathrina
It's not like I'm worried about them out of some buddy-buddy feeling. I just absolutely hate the idea of the stage failing because we left this alone.

Shizuka
I see.

Kathrina
So I thought if I could ask you two, who are always getting along, about how to make up, it might be helpful for those guys...

Shizuka
I see. In that sense, Kokona and I might not be much help.

Shizuka
Sorry for laughing earlier, but I think it's a really good change that you've started looking out for those around you like this, Kathrina.

Kathrina
...Well, that's good then.

Kathrina
(Asking Shizuka and the others wasn't helpful at all... I don't know if that's good or bad)

Kathrina
(...They say they're childhood friends, so haven't they fought and made up many times already?)

Kathrina
(Hard to say because they're close... But they can't stay like this forever)

Kathrina
(The performance day won't wait for them)

Kathrina
Hey, Sasuga.

Chisa
Kathrina... what's wrong?

Kathrina
I want to talk a bit about Panda.

Chisa
Ah, ...um...

Kathrina
You don't like things staying this way, right?

Chisa
...

Chisa
Yeah...

Chisa
Ah, but if Panda doesn't want to... I think it can't be helped...

Kathrina
I see, got it.

Chisa
Y-yeah, well... I finished cleaning the tiles.
