So, you should think really, really, really hard about this decision! For the sake of you now and you in the future, Rui!

(This is the scene where the protagonist faces off with the king and makes the decision to betray his country. So...)

Rui
It's a tragic scene, so it might be good to create a few moments where the faces of the characters on stage are darkened to the point where you can't see their expressions...
Rui
By switching between light and dark at the right tempo, we should be able to engage the audience's imaginations.

You really do spend every spare minute backstage coming up with ideas, don't you, Kamishiro?
Asahi
So true! When you're in director mode, you sometimes forget to eat and sleep. But...
Asahi
We've been asked to work over in the United States precisely because of your sheer dedication.
Rui
To be honest, I'm still having trouble processing all that. A part of me is wondering if I'm really the right choice.
ArcLand Cast Member A
But even at the Center Theatre, you managed to become a hit director. You being scouted like this makes perfect sense to me.
Asahi
And the joint performance we did with the American ArcLand team pushed them to pick up the phone.
Asahi
It's no surprise they were impressed. I mean, you had the entire cast float in the air, and you created a giant waterfall using real water.
ArcLand Cast Member B
I wasn't sure they'd be possible when you first suggested them... But we ended up really enjoying them while performing on stage!
Asahi
And I'm looking forward to seeing what exciting ideas you come up with in the future.
ArcLand Cast Member B
Alright, this seems like a good time to hand you two your bouquets! Here you are!

You're joking, right? There was no way we weren't going to celebrate our friends' talents being acknowledged.

After all, we'll be working as members of the Brillia Stage troupe during our time there. I hear that they're constantly looking for the best young actors and directors.
Asahi
Think of it this way... With the two of us joining, the troupe is only going to become even more amazing!
Rui
Yes. Many people look forward to seeing the Brillia Stage's performances since they're one of the best troupes in the world...
Rui
(ArcLand has parks all around the world...
But the shows they put on in the US stand head and shoulders above the rest...)
