Even If It's Pieced Together

Lilja
The stars are beautiful. You can't see it in the city.

Ramona
Yeah, that's true.

Lilja
...The sounds of the insects and the rustling of the trees are beautiful too...Tokyo nights are busy, and a little noisy.

Ramona
In the dorm, you can sometimes hear the sound of cars.

Lilja
Yeah...

Ramona
...

Ramona
Lilja is amazing. You did a great job alongside Koyomi in 'Macbeth'.

Lilja
What's the matter all of a sudden?

Ramona
Well... when we first came here, didn't Hikari say something? That's right. I think we're where we are now because of Lilja and Koyomi's hard work.

Lilja
Even you, got worked up for everyone’s sake during 'Macbeth'.

Ramona
...

Ramona
Yeah.

Ramona
But when I think about it now, I wonder if that was the right thing to do...there's a difference between sincerity and naivety.

Ramona
In the end, Koyomi managed to defuse the situation. I put her under a lot of strain.

Lilja
Is that so...?

Ramona
I've always been a person who values discipline and rules. But I can't accept Gingaza as it is now...

Ramona
Sometimes I wonder if it's just my own selfishness, or if this is the path I'm supposed to take.

Ramona
No, there's no point in talking like this. I'm sorry for saying something that may make it difficult for you to respond.

Lilja
...

Lilja
There there.

Ramona
...Lilja? Are you trying to comfort me?

Lilja
I thought Ramona was a reliable and cool person. But a Ramona with a hint of sadness is also beautiful.

Lilja
That's why I wanted to pet you.

Ramona
...

Ramona
I'm a loser for making you worry so much.

Lilja
Koyomi said in Macbeth before that ‘even wrong things can be beautiful’.

Lilja
I don't know what right means. But Lady Macbeth also lived for her own version of ‘right’.

Lilja
...I think that Ramo, who follows her own path, is also surely right. And yet...she is so beautiful.

Ramona
...I'm not beautiful.

Lilja
The stage is a place where people compete with each other over their own sense of beauty. I've seen Ramo a lot. I'm beautiful, so if I say you’re beautiful I’m right.

Ramona
I can't believe I'm right. After fighting, I hurt someone...and I'm always suffering.

Ramona
I don't want to hate myself any more.

Lilja
...Ramo is beautiful even when hurt. The more she's hurt, the more beautiful she becomes, and she becomes a unique work of art.

Ramona
...I've heard that somewhere...

Ramona: Hey, Kathrina. You know, there’s a Japanese form of art called Kintsugi.

Kathrina: Kintsugi? Never heard of it.

Ramona: Yeah, I haven’t seen it in person yet either.

Ramona: It’s a traditional technique of applying lacquer to pieces of broken pottery and putting them back together. Lacquer is mixed with powdered gold, and the joined pieces create a one-of-a-kind pattern.

Ramona
...

Lilja
That's why Ramo has to fight too. You has to hold on to your own beauty.

Lilja
When you feel like you're about to break, you can rely on me. When that happens, I'll make you some tea from my hometown.

Ramo
Lilja...

Ramo
...Thank you. I'm truly blessed to have such great friends.
