(Rui didn't come back after that...)

Nene

Listen

(They told us that they'd made a small change for this scene, but how is what they've done gonna fix it?)
5

Tsukasa

Listen

(I don't know, but for now...)

Tsukasa

Listen

(All we can do is believe in them.)

Hajime

“Then, Katsuyuki, that's all the more reason why I can't stay.”

Katsuyuki

Listen

“What...?”
9

Katsuyuki

Listen

“H-How can you say that...?
You show up out of nowhere, mess with my feelings and...”
10

Katsuyuki

Listen

“The truth is, I don't care about what's really going on with you... I just...!”
11

Nene

Listen

(He's expressing his character's feelings more than that first time...! But he still sounds really natural. He isn't having to do what he does on stage...)
12

Nene

Listen

(But this scene's feel...
It hasn't changed all that much. Which means...)
13

Nene

Listen

(The problem is somewhere up ahead.
When Hajime accepts what Katsuyuki says...)
14

Hajime

“...”
15

Tsukasa

Listen

(This is it!
We finally get to see what's different.)
16

Tsukasa

Listen

(What happens when you erase Katsuyuki's lines?)
17

Rui

Listen

(My suggestion was to change Bakuno's lines to make them suit his style better.)
18

Rui

Listen

(But Mr. Ohara didn't want to do just that.
He decided to erase his lines for this part.)
19

Rui

Listen

(He originally said, “I'm guessing that's not even your real name,” “I still don't know anything about you,” and “Absolutely nothing...”)
20

Rui

Listen

(In terms of the story, these lines are fairly crucial.)
21

Rui

Listen

(Without them, it becomes hard for the viewer to understand what's going through Katsuyuki's mind.)
22

Rui

Listen

(However...)
23

Hajime

“I'm sorry.”

Katsuyuki

“*Sob*”

Emu

*Gasp*
27

Emu

Listen

Whoa... The look on Katsuyuki's face...! He's tugging at my heartstrings without saying a word...!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

28

Nene

Listen

Yeah, and it's not just his expression.
29

Nene

Listen

His breathing, the way he lowered his shoulders... The little things like that really make it clear just how sad Katsuyuki is, and how much he's struggling to control his feelings.
30

Tsukasa

Listen

This is what Mr. Ohara meant by a “torrent of emotions”...
31

Tsukasa

Listen

This character...
Only Bakuno can play him.
32

Rui

Listen

(I never would've thought of making use of Bakuno's skills like this.)
33

Rui

Listen

(Mr. Ohara really is an incredible director...
I've only been working with him for a little bit, but that much is clear.)
34

Rui

Listen

(As frustrated as I am about not coming up with this idea myself, I also feel a great sense of relief.)
35

Rui

Listen

(There really is nothing like directing.)
36

Rui

Listen

(There are so many facets to it. And I still have so much to learn.)
37

Rui

Listen

(I want to know more.
I want to encounter things that I haven't before...)

38

Rui

Listen

(Come to think of it, who was that person?)
39

Rui

Listen

(If it weren't for him, neither Mr. Ohara nor I would've been able to arrive at a solution.)
40

Rui

Listen

I should've at least asked his name...
A few weeks later

Emu

Listen

The film we got to help make turned out so well!
42

Nene

Listen

To be fair, this is just the rough cut...
Still, getting to see it before it the advance screening makes joining the crew all the more worth it.
43

Tsukasa

Listen

A just reward considering everything we went through!
44

Rui

Listen

Also, I'm looking forward to seeing it in theaters.
45

Rin

Listen

<I'm really glad I got to see it too♪
Thanks for letting me tag along, you guys!>
46

Nene

Listen

Hehe. It probably means just as much to you, Rin, since you were there basically every day.
47

Rui

Listen

Your encouragement was invaluable.
And I'm sorry for making you worry towards the end there.
48

Rin

Listen

<No, that's okay!
I'm just glad that you're happy with the way things turned out, Rui!>
49

Rin

Listen

<I came to see what you guys were doing at first because I thought it'd be fun to make a film!>
50

Rin

Listen

<But seeing you all work so hard to make each scene as good as it could be...>
51

Rin

Listen

<That made me realize how hard it really is to make a film. It isn't just all fun and games.>
52

Tsukasa

Listen

Rin...
53

Rin

Listen

<But it turned out as well as it did because you guys put so much effort into it.>
54

Rin

Listen

<Which is why I think filmmaking is super duper amazing now!>
55

Rui

Listen

We feel honored that our efforts led you to that conclusion.
56

Rin

Listen

<Hehe... I want Miku and the others to see this as soon as possible. When do you think they'll get to—>

Oh, perfect. You're all here!

Bakuno? Mr. Ohara...?!

59

Ohara

Bakuno said he wanted to thank you himself for helping fix that scene.
60

Rui

Listen

Wait, me...?
61

Rui

Listen

But I didn't do anything worthy of being thanked. Ultimately, it was Mr. Ohara who came up with the solution.
62

Reki

Listen

No, you and Mr. Ohara both made the decision to take a long, hard look at the screenplay.
63

Reki

Listen

To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure what to do until you two brought forth your ideas. I was so worried that I'd be the one to ruin our film.
64

Reki

Listen

But you both did your best to make the most of my abilities. As a result, that scene turned out better than I could've hoped.
65

Reki

Listen

So, thank you very much.
What you did gave me a chance to reexamine myself as an actor and grow.

Rui

Listen

Bakuno...
67

Rui

Listen

Thank you as well.
I was also able to grow as a director.
68

Rui

Listen

You too, Mr. Ohara.
I can't thank you enough for giving me such a wonderful opportunity.
69

Rui

Listen

I really appreciate what you did for me.
70

Ohara

I asked you to help because you have such a good work ethic.
71

Ohara

So, don't be a stranger.
Feel free to drop by again whenever you like.
72

Rui

Listen

I will.
Thank you very much.
73

Rui

Listen

Oh, that reminds me.
I wanted to ask about that friend who suddenly came over to see you the other—
74

Crew Member

Excuse me, sir!
They're calling about that interview again!
75

Ohara

Oh, I completely forgot to call them back... Be right over!

Rui

Listen

(I missed my chance.)
77

Rui

Listen

(I suppose I'll have to try contacting him another time.)
Several dozen minutes later
78

Ohara

Phew...
That's it for filming...
79

Ohara

Things always get so busy that I feel like I never want to shoot another film again, but that desire to create always crops back up.
80

Ohara

Plus, this time around I got to meet an interesting—
81

???

Listen

Don't get all serious on me now.
82

Ohara

What the?!
How long have you been there?!
83

???

Listen

Hold up.
You're the one who said I should come since you had the rough cut ready.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

84

Ohara

Sure, but you're beyond late.
We already finished screening it.
85

???

Listen

Oh, that's too bad.
86

???

Listen

But I know you, Tomomi.
You're too nice to not show it again for a friend after he came all this way to see you.
87

Ohara

...
We have to leave soon.
88

???

Listen

Not a problem!
At least show me that one scene!
89

Ohara

We already put everything away, so you'll have to watch it on my phone. No complaints.
90

???

Listen

I'm all good with that.
Let's see...
91

Hajime

“I'm sorry.”

92

Katsuyuki

Listen

“Hajime, wait!”
93

???

Listen

Okay, this looks unchanged.
In that case, what did you—
94

Katsuyuki

Listen

“*Sob*”
95

???

Listen

You took out his lines for this part?
96

Ohara

Yeah, since I thought it'd suit his style better.
97

Ohara

As much as I hate to say it, what you said helped a lot.
98

???

Listen

So, what I said led you to do this?
Now I feel kind of bad.
99

Ohara

Seriously, you always give me these weird riddles to solve and immediately leave.
100

Ohara

Still, I'm amazed by how Kamishiro was able to unravel your little enigma and arrive at the answer he did.
101

???

Listen

Kamishiro?
102

Ohara

That kid I introduced you to the other day.
The one who was sitting next to me. He's well on his way towards becoming a famous director.
103

???

Listen

Oh...
I think I vaguely remember...
104

Ohara

Geez...
You really can't remember anything unless it interests you, huh...?
105

???

Listen

No, I remember now.
106

???

Listen

So, this Kamishiro kid...
He got what I was trying to say?
107

Ohara

He did.
But he mainly works on stage productions.
108

Ohara

The same as you.
Which means you'll probably cross paths someday.
109

???

Listen

Oh...?
110

???

Listen

I see.
