Darkness at the Bottom of the Sea

Kathrina: No… This isn’t good enough… I have to immerse myself in the role even more…

Kokona: Kathrina-chan… It’s getting late… Won’t that affect tomorrow’s rehearsal?

Kathrina: Yeah, you’re right. But I want to explore the script a little more.

Shizuka: Listen, cutting down on your sleep won’t do you any good. I know you want to get accustomed to the role, but you don’t have to go that far.

Kathrina: No, I have to! I need to understand the Little Mermaid more deeply…

Kathrina: Don’t worry about me. You girls go to sleep.

Kokona: Kathrina-chan…

Panda: I see… So that’s what Kathrin’s like behind the doors.

Kokona: Yes… I think it’s amazing that she takes the role so seriously.

Yae: To be frank, recently Kathrina-san’s acting has become truly impressive. She’s so much alike the Little Mermaid, it’s almost scary.

Shizuka: Yeah… I guess that’s what people call being gifted. However, isn’t she going a bit overboard?..

Kokona: At least, today she thought she needed some rest, so she went home early.

Chisa: Kathrina’s eyes definitely look scary lately. She radiates more power than me, the Witch.

Panda: The ability to immerse yourself in the role is essential for a good actor… You’ll be fine, Kathrin, won’t you?

Noah: …

Kathrina: I guess I should express sadness more emotionally in this scene… But will it really work?..

Noah: Didn’t you go to the dormitory ahead of everyone?

Kathrina: Hiiragi-san…

Noah: You should rest when you can. Taking care of your health is also a part of your job.

Kathrina: I know… But I can’t force myself to stop. I feel like if I do I’ll end up losing everything.

Kathrina: Right now my acting skills are at their peak. Hiiragi-san, you think so too, don’t you?

Noah: Well, I…

Kathrina: If I let this moment slip away, I’ll never forgive myself. I don’t want to go back to how I was.

Kathrina: That’s right… I can’t stop now… I’ll keep moving forward no matter what…

Noah: Kathrina…
