After the final performance

Audience Member
I finally made time...'Oedipus Rex.' The greatest tragedy with the greatest love...the word-of-mouth reviews are good too, I'm so excited!

Audience Member
As an Eden fan, I can't miss the final performance... No matter how many times I see it, it touches my heart...

Iruru
Farewell, Oedipus...my beloved...no matter how painful it gets, please don't give up on living...

Hatsumi
Jocasta...Jocasta!!!

Tetra
The final performance already, huh? Time passes quickly... The actors' performances are moving the hearts of the viewers...it's a good stage.

Tetra
Jocasta is...my real mother...? I am...a patricidal villain?

Tetra
Then all these disasters too...are you saying I...brought them upon us...!?

Tetra
The 'Oedipus Rex' that I once performed. This production is in no way inferior to that stage from back then.

Tetra
I never would have imagined being able to see such a stage at Eden before you came, Hatsumi.

Tetra
(They're different from when they started rehearsals. Now that Hatsumi has shaken off her hesitation, everyone's grown another layer.)

Tetra
I want to see more of your stages. I'll have to live a long life.

Hatsumi
Thank you for coming!

Daikoku, Nikako, Iruru, Shigure
Thank you!

Hatsumi
Phew...hehe.

Tetra
Good work, Hatsumi.

Hatsumi
Tetra-san, what brings you here? Perhaps some valuable criticism awaits me?

Tetra
You say that when you don't think that in the slightest. Anyone who could find fault with that stage would be truly shameless.

Hatsumi
I'm honoured to receive such praise. I'm also proud that it became a wonderful stage.

Tetra
Yeah, and...you too, Hatsumi.

Hatsumi
Me...?

Tetra
Until now you've led everyone in Eden with your overwhelming acting ability. But lately it's not just that.

Tetra
You look around you, sometimes taking in the feelings of those who follow you. Your stature as a leader has improved compared to before.

Tetra
As someone who stands above, you create the overall atmosphere and unite the troupe...this is clear growth.

Hatsumi
Heh, shown even more potential for growth, have I?

Tetra
Looking so pleased with yourself...don't get too carried away. If the next performance is terrible, I'll take back everything I just said.

Hatsumi
Hahaha, I'll have to keep working hard so as not to disappoint you.

Hatsumi
...But if I've changed, it's probably thanks to them. Maybe I was able to change because Iruru and everyone reached out to me.

Tetra
What's this? That's not like you to say.

Hatsumi
How rude. I make the occasional humble statement too.

Tetra
Hehe, true enough.

Tetra
This performance was a good opportunity for Eden too. Hatsumi, you were able to face your thirst.

Tetra
And Iruru and the others got to know the person called Renjakuno Hatsumi. That holds great meaning for Eden's future too.

Hatsumi
...Yes, I feel we're more united than ever before. Even though my confusion must have greatly bewildered them...I can only feel grateful to them.

Hatsumi
That's exactly why I have no intention of stagnating with the current Eden.

Tetra
Oh? What will you do?

Hatsumi
Naturally, I'll create a stage that moves audiences' hearts even more than 'Oedipus Rex.' I'll show those who follow me the greatest scenery.

Hatsumi
(And Futaba, to you too...)

Tetra
Is that so? I can't take my eyes off this.

Hatsumi
Yes, you'll have to postpone retirement a bit longer.

Tetra
Really, such a demanding user of old people.
