Yes! I stayed up to practice as much as I could, but managed to get in just enough sleep!

Oh, the mats are all set!
They should be able to stay in place regardless of what's thrown at them!

Hey, what are they doing over there?

Oh, let's see what the poster says.
PXL and ArcLand are doing a show together...?!

Hm? Nene, Emu, what's wrong?
Are you feeling nervous?

ArcLand Cast Member B
Really? Then, I guess there's nothing to worry about... Please let us know if something is wrong. We'll do our best to help.

We'll be doing three performances over two days for this. I know this still feels a bit strange since it's the first show we're doing together.

Wait, they're on top of the lamps! When did they get up there?!
Audience
Cool!
Rui
(The next moment's also one of the most important parts of the show since it's going to give them a nice jolt of excitement.)
Major
“It must've been taken by those rats...! We'll pursue after them! Sergeant Willis, you are to secure the android that you've already found!”

Bartlett
“What happened? Where is the Professor? Please, explain to me what is going on...”
Bartlett
“But only the Professor can change who has administrator privileges over my systems. Where is he? Is he safe?”
Sergeant Willis
“He isn't here anymore...
Sorry, but we'll just have to change those by brute force.”

(Tsukasa and Nene have improved their acting quite a bit. They certainly seem to have absorbed as much as they could from ArcLand's cast members.)

Emma
“Here? It's the farm my grandpa started out here on the frontier, Mr. Robot! We found you collapsed on the ground!”
Sergeant Willis
“Have you downloaded the map for where the next battle is going to take place?”
Bartlett
“Yes. I have also found the evacuation routes that the civilians will likely be using.”
Bartlett
“Yes. I was told that it would be absolutely necessary for this battle. Do you have any issues with that...?”

“My systems have been augmented specifically for the battlefield. How are you able to stand your ground against me?”
Alfred
“I want to protect these people.
That may be the reason why I am able to summon more strength than I normally can.”

There should be a backup battery within his power core! As long that you didn't damage that...”

Sergeant Willis
“If we allow him to reboot normally, he'll probably go straight back to being a weapon of war.”
Sergeant Willis
“However, if we perform a full reset, we'd be able to erase all of his memories and give him another chance.”
Sergeant Willis
“I want to erase all the horrible things we taught him. But as the one who was created alongside him, I need to know how you'd feel about that...”

Alfred
“Turning him into a blank slate may be easier... But only he knows the value of everything that he experienced these past ten years.”
Alfred
“I want Bartlett to see them.
I want him to see how beautiful this world is, and why I am able to feel.”

They really did.
Also, in comparison to our first performance, I think around double the people came to watch us.

The final scene was as incredible as it was because you put so much effort into it.

However, it's sad to think how this may be the last conversation we have together.

I apologize in advance for doing this right after our show. I'm sure you're very tired, Asahi...
