Thank you for waiting, everybody!
We have someone to lead the dance team now.

Extras

Him? He looks really young too...
3

Extras

Is he really gonna be okay just being thrown into the deep end like this...?
4

Akito

Listen

My name is Akito Shinonome. I'll be a part of the dance team with you all today.
5

Akito

Listen

I'd like to use my stage experience to make this the best ceremony possible with all of you.
6

Extras

He seems alright...
7

Extras

He has experience too, so why not, I guess?
8

Toya

Listen

(No matter how many times I see it, he feels like a different person when he gets serious...)
9

Toya

Listen

(Come to think of it, Akito might be the better choice for proposing to the bride too...)
10

Rui

Listen

Alright, it's well past time we started rehearsing. If you'll all gather...!
11

Toya

Listen

Right. Okay!

12

Rui

Listen

Louder! You need to articulate more when you say that! Like someone's planted a bomb in your molars and will explode if you close your mouth!
13

Extra A

A bomb?!
14

Rui

Listen

You there, face forward and stick your chest out! Imagine that you're about to deploy a laser from your shoulder!
15

Extra B

A laser...?!
16

Rui

Listen

And you! Hands off your hips! You're a human, not a robot! You're capable of more fluid movements! However, if you wish to become a robot...
17

Extra C

O-Okay! I'm not sure what you're saying, but I'll try harder!
18

Toya

Listen

(This is incredible...)
19

Toya

Listen

(He's always acting so strange when he's with Tsukasa and I assumed that was just the way he was, but he takes acting direction so seriously...)
20

Toya

Listen

(No, what if this is the real Rui Kamishiro...?)
21

Rui

Listen

Aoyagi, you've stopped. Is something the matter? We don't have much time left...!
22

Toya

Listen

R-Right... I'm sorry!
23

Akito

Listen

Okay, that looked good.
Let's just go over that last part again just to make sure.
24

Female Extra

Sure. But you're such a great teacher! This routine looked so hard, but you made everything so much easier...!
25

Akito

Listen

Y-Yeah... Thanks...
26

Akito

Listen

(I'm really just doing the dance routine Kamishiro told me to do...)
27

Rui

Listen

45 minutes left...
28

Rui

Listen

We'll need to rehearse together with the dance team soon...
29

Rui

Listen

...
30

Toya

Listen

Is something wrong?
31

Rui

Listen

Oh, no. I don't think so.
I was just doing some thinking.
32

Toya

Listen

...?
33

Rui

Listen

Hehe. I suppose it's not good to keep secrets just before the curtains go up...

34

Rui

Listen

I was thinking about that little conversation we just had.
35

Toya

Listen

Our conversation...?
36

Rui

Listen

When we invited Shinonome to join us.
37

Rui

Listen

I've been told many times for as long as I can remember that I'm one that does whatever it takes to make my goals a reality.
38

Rui

Listen

In truth, when I start thinking about an idea for a show, I block just about everything else out.
39

Rui

Listen

At times I let my obsessions get the best of me and I would ultimately end up all alone.
40

Toya

Listen

...
41

Rui

Listen

I've pushed cast members a little too far sometimes so that they'd do what I envisioned...
42

Rui

Listen

But that didn't necessarily mean they wanted to be in my show, and it hardly amounted to us respecting one another. They all ended up leaving after a while.
43

Rui

Listen

I was reminiscing a little about that.
44

Toya

Listen

Respect for one another...

Sound Effect: Play

45

Toya

Listen

Yes, that is very important...
46

Toya

Listen

But I also understand why you do things the way you do, Kamishiro...
47

Rui

Listen

Oh?
48

Toya

Listen

Someone in my family thinks in sort of the same way.
49

Toya

Listen

When it comes to something he truly loves, he'll give no quarter and won't compromise...
50

Rui

Listen

...
51

Toya

Listen

I didn't understand what he was doing at first. It puzzled me how he could torment a family member over such a thing.
52

Toya

Listen

But now I understand a little.
53

Toya

Listen

He's able to see what he sees because he gives what he loves everything he has.
54

Toya

Listen

And he wanted me to get a glimpse of that...
55

Rui

Listen

...
56

Toya

Listen

Sorry, I kept rambling on... I just wanted to say that I understand your thinking is all...
57

Toya

Listen

I believe that Akito decided to help us because he came to an understanding that your way would work in this case.
58

Toya

Listen

There are certain things that we aren't willing to compromise on as well...
59

Rui

Listen

And what would that be for you...?
60

Toya

Listen

Surpassing a legendary event that happened some time ago.
61

Rui

Listen

Surpassing a legendary event...
62

Rui

Listen

Hehe. I'm sure that show will be one for the ages.
63

Toya

Listen

Yes, I'm sure it will be.
64

Akito

Listen

Hey, we gonna start rehearsing or not? We're running out of time...!
65

Rui

Listen

Then let's get ready for the home stretch...!

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

66

Rui

Listen

Yes, not bad.
This should make for a wonderful ceremony.
67

Extras

Yay...!
68

Rui

Listen

However, I believe you're all still capable of doing more. I'd like for you all to do everything you can to make this show as good as it can be.
69

Extras

Everything we can?
70

Extras

Oh, like getting that turn down in the end...
71

Akito

Listen

Right. You'll look better if you stick that last turn. Would you like to practice that now?
72

Extras

And I mumbled one of my lines...
73

Toya

Listen

Yes, you could've been a little bit clearer there. How about we practice that part once more?
74

Rui

Listen

(Excellent, I could not ask for better morale...)
75

Rui

Listen

All that's left is the finale.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure that we have the time to further refine it...
76

???

Listen

<Rui! Hey, Rui!>
77

Rui

Listen

Hm?
Oh, that's right...

Rui

Listen

I'm sorry, Len.
I left you all alone after we took a look at this place, didn't I?
79

Len

Listen

<No, it's okay!
But I did hear what was going on!>
80

Len

Listen

<You're wondering what you should do about the finale, right?>
81

Len

Listen

<What if you tried “that”...?>
82

Rui

Listen

That...?
83

Len

Listen

<You know, the thing you were out shopping for earlier?>
84

Len

Listen

<What if you made some adjustments to that? Like... Adding that thing over there to it...!>
85

Rui

Listen

Yes, I see...
That may indeed work.
86

Rui

Listen

Thank you, Len.
This may make for a great finale.
87

Len

Listen

<Really? Hehe. Great!>
88

Len

Listen

<I hope today's wedding goes well!>
