(We just have the final fight scene left to shoot. It's the film's climax, so I need to prepare for it as best I can.)

<Hehe. Remember that film you said you're making with your class? I came over to see how it's going!>
Nene
Remember that wall I talked about and how you said it'd disappear after I got to know everyone better?
Nene
They're all their own people with their likes and dislikes. I learned about the dreams they have, or that they like taking care of children...all kinds of things.
Nene
After hearing all their stories, that wall startled crumbling away bit by bit, just like you said...
Nene
But there are still some things about them that I don't know how to deal with... For example, the way they get excited so easily.
Nene
Don't worry. Once it's all done, I'll bring a copy of the video over to SEKAI. We can watch it together there.

Hahaha... Sorry, Kusanagi.
I picked a great time to get injured, huh...?

It's nothing serious.
Like I said in my message, it's a light sprain.

Yeah... I really am sorry, everyone!
First I can't act, and now I'm out as a stunt double. I feel like such a burden...

What he said! You don't need to worry or apologize since we know you were doing your best!
Akito
We're shooting the climax really soon. We can't wait around for his sprain to heal because of our reservation for that site and how the film still needs to be edited.
Female Students
But can any of us replace him...?
I mean, they'd have no time to practice... At this rate, the climax is gonna end up being really dull...

I'm not sure there's anything we can do about that.
Finding someone okay is better than not finishing the film...

Nene
(It's true that filming something of high quality may be difficult now that Soda's out...)
Nene
(We've put in all this work...
If all we're thinking at the end of our shoot is how we had no choice but to cut a few corners and make a dull final product...)

Everyone put so much effort into that show, but it was all for nothing, because I forgot my lines.

I'm going to do whatever it takes!
Get ready for some really cool fight scenes!

Yeah, so...!
Let's see this through until the end and make our film an amazing one!

I... I don't want this film to cause someone to feel any regret. Not after all the hard work we put into it...
Soda
Kusanagi...
Nene
So, let's put our heads together and make sure we all come out of this with no regrets...

Nene
Let's come up with the best possible solution we can for this situation. A solution that doesn't involve cutting corners.
An
We shouldn't be thinking such negative thoughts. Instead, we should be coming up with ways to make our film better!
Akito
I'll do it. If my stunt double is out, then the simplest solution is for me to do my own stunts...
Soda
Shinonome...
Akito
Soda, you'll need to show me what to do during the final scene. I know we don't have time, but this is our only option.
Soda
Okay.
Thanks...
Thanks...
Akito
No problem.
But there's no way I'll be able to do the same things an experienced martial artist like Soda can...

Capes are used during shows a lot because they help draw attention to the wearer... In our case, it'd be like throwing in a bit of extra spice at the end.
Nene
The last scene also involves our hero returning from his journey in search of cooking ingredients, so him wearing something over his clothes would seem completely normal.
Tachibana
Yeah, no problem.
I'll ask everyone working on costumes to help me come up with a design right away.

Thank you...!
Then, Soda, can you and the others come up with some stunts that involve a cape?

Y-Yeah, of course!
Nene
Amisawa, remember that drone footage you showed me the other day? The final showdown would probably look really cool if we shot it from a bunch of different angles.
Amisawa
Definitely!
Alright, I'll look up how to do all that!
