Tsukasa
(Nene's always had confidence in her singing, so I doubt she foresaw any of this happening...)
Tsukasa
(It seemed like quite a shock to her...
But she may be moving in the right direction since she went over to speak to the director about what he told her.)

Tsukasa
(Knowing that you have friends supporting you can make a huge difference. It definitely did when I was learning to play Thorpe and Rio.)
Tsukasa
(But this is different from learning to play a character. She has to break some old habits, which isn't going to be easy...)

Morning, Kusanagi!
Let's do our best again today!

Saki does the same thing whenever she tells me that “everything's fine” when it really isn't...)

Sakurako
Tenma, would you mind if we had a quick chat about the scene we'll be working on today?

Tsukasa
We are. We couldn't even figure out what these habits of hers are when we discussed it as a troupe.
Tsukasa
She's unaware of any such habits, which means the onus was on us to know what they are...
Sakurako
I understand what you're trying to say, but you may not have the experience necessary to spot these habits of hers...
Sakurako
I prefer not to toot my own horn...
But when it comes to singing, I'm more knowledgeable and technically skilled than Kusanagi. She's well aware of this fact.

Tsukasa
I'm sorry...
I didn't mean to demean you or Nene in any way. Please forget what I just said.

Sakurako
When the time comes, whether or not she wishes to hear it, I am going to tell her to hard truth.
Tsukasa
Right. We don't have much time left until our show opens, so we can't wait for her to find an answer on her own...
Sakurako
Yes, you're doing a wonderful job of expressing your emotions... But you still have quite a few things to work on, including your character's more nuanced mannerisms, the timing for your lines and such, no...?
Sakurako
Yet your mind is preoccupied with the business of others. Do you not see a problem with that?
