1

Emu

Listen

Great practice today, you guys☆
2

Nene

Listen

Nice work.
I think we learned a lot today.
3

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes! But as educational as each practice with Shunmeiza is, they do take their toll...
4

Rui

Listen

Especially since the play for newcomers ended. I feel like their practices have become much more demanding...
5

Nene

Listen

Yeah. We were working with mostly the younger members before... But now, we're getting to practice with the veterans from time to time.
6

Tsukasa

Listen

Those improv skits we did today also felt a little different. The outer space theme they chose was very interesting.
7

Nene

Listen

Oh...
8

Nene

Listen

(Those improv skits...)
9

Emu

Listen

Is something the matter, Nene?
10

Nene

Listen

Oh, um...
11

Nene

Listen

I was just thinking that the improv skits we did today were pretty hard.
12

Rui

Listen

The prompt was difficult, but also intriguing.
13

Rui

Listen

A story about six people stranded in space due to their ship running out of fuel and needing to work together in order to get back to Earth...
14

Tsukasa

Listen

But how that story unfolded depended on each group's interpretation!
15

Emu

Listen

And yours actually made it back to Earth, Tsukasa!
16

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes. We managed to figure out a way to shoot our high-energy cannon in the opposite direction of where we were drifting, which put us on a trajectory back towards Earth!
17

Tsukasa

Listen

To be honest, I wasn't fully able to follow the others when they were explaining the physics behind our plan...
18

Rui

Listen

My group ended up fighting over what precious little oxygen we had left. Ultimately, we all perished out in space.
19

Emu

Listen

Yeah, us too!
Our cryogenic sleep pods ended up breaking, and we were all mummified by the time we got back.
20

Nene

Listen

My group also faced the same fate...
21

Tsukasa

Listen

Hah hah hah hah!
Which makes me the sole survivor!
22

Nene

Listen

It doesn't matter whether or not you survived since we were there to practice acting...
23

Nene

Listen

Still, I probably shouldn't talk considering how awful my acting was...
24

Tsukasa

Listen

Hm? You thought you did that poorly?
25

Nene

Listen

I mean, I got an earful at the end about how the audience wouldn't understand what I was feeling because I was so unexpressive.
26

Rui

Listen

Oh, was that in reference to that one scene...?
When you all panicked after realizing that your ship was malfunctioning?
27

Nene

Listen

Yeah. I should have been the most emotional since I was the youngest member of the crew...
28

Nene

Listen

But I had trouble sounding hysterical, which ended up affecting the performance of the other members of my group...
29

Nene

Listen

So, I feel really bad about holding us back.
30

Tsukasa

Listen

I see... I had no idea.
31

Tsukasa

Listen

But I understand how you feel. The things I need to work on keep increasing with each performance we do.
32

Nene

Listen

Exactly...
33

Nene

Listen

(I knew this was bound to happen after hearing that we'd be working with Shunmeiza...)
34

Nene

Listen

(They're so good, and I'm not...
My acting skills just pale in comparison.)
35

Nene

Listen

(Still...)
36

Nene

Listen

We're not about to give up, are we?
37

Tsukasa

Listen

No, we aren't.
38

Tsukasa

Listen

In order to keep growing as actors, we need to keep pushing each other and making the most of these practices!
39

Nene

Listen

Right!
40

Rui

Listen

Hehe. And we're not about to let them have all the fun, are we?
41

Emu

Listen

Nope! I'm also gonna keep learning lots and lots!
42

Tsukasa

Listen

Hah hah hah hah! We're back in high spirits now! So, let's head over to SEKAI and do some more improv practice!
43

Nene

Listen

Wait, now...?
44

Nene

Listen

No, you're right. Let's go.
45

Nene

Listen

(I honestly couldn't feel more blessed.)
46

Nene

Listen

(Not only do I get to see professional actors work up close, I'm acting right there with them.)
47

Nene

Listen

(Which is why I need to make the most of this time. I have to learn as much as I possibly can from them. And then...)

Sound Effect: Play

48

Nene

Listen

(And then someday, I'll become a world-class musical actress. Just like Ms. Kazamatsuri...)
49

Nene

Listen

(I've gotta keep growing!)
