## **Story**

* You: Oh, that's right. The year before last was all about reciting plays, and last year was ensemble chorus, right?
* Ryu: Yeah. Every year is different. I'm kind of excited to see what they do this year.
* Kagura: This year we're putting on a play♪
* Ryu: Whoa! There he is!
* You: Kagura, are you really working on a play?
* Kagura: Yup♪ And I'm the writer and director! And the actors... are you and your boyfriend♪
* You: What?! Us?!
* Kagura: I'll tell you all the details later, okay? I can't wait~♪
* Ryu: \*sigh\* As usual, this is a total mess.
* You: \*sigh\* What should I do...? I know nothing about being in a play...
* Ryu: Why don't you just give it a shot? Don't worry, I can help you!
* You: Really?! Thank you so much, Ryu!

* Ryu: We're going to start practicing. But before that, how about we loosen our voices?
* Ryu: Once that's done, we'll practice reading our lines!
* Kagura: I'm glad they finally decided on a script.
* Devin: Yeah, it seems that Ryu is pretty motivated.
* You: (I'm starting to get a little nervous... I can't let everyone down!)
* ???: Excuse me. Is my love here?
* You: That... voice...
* Kaoru: Ah, there you are! I see you're already practicing!
* You: Yeah, that's right... Wait. Who told you we were practicing?!
* Kaoru: Huhu. When it comes to you, there's nothing that I don't know♪
* Ryu: Oi, Kaoru. If you get in the way, I'm going to make you leave!
* Kaoru: You're so scary~, Ryu!
* You: Ryu! Stop picking on Kaoru!
* Ryu: I'm not picking on him! You're too kind to him sometimes!
* Kaoru: You're so immature, Ryu.
* Kaoru: Umm, I bought you a little gift to help with practicing.
* You: Huhu, thanks.
* You: Ehh...?
* You: (Kaoru won't let go of my hand...)
* Kaoru: ...But that's just a smoke screen. I came to steal you away.
* You: Ehhh?
* Ryu: What do you mean by that?
* Kaoru: Exactly what I said. Do you know the team Woodland?
* You: Hmm... the name sounds familiar.
* Ryu: Wh-why do you know that team...?
* Kaoru: Huhu, got a little scared, didn't you, Ryu?
* Kaoru: It's a team full of famous actors and actresses.
* Kaoru: And I'm their sponsor.
* You: (I knew Kaoru was special...!)
* Kaoru: Instead of being on this lame team, you'd shine much better being with famous people.
* Kaoru: Hey, why don't we go to team Woodland~?
* You: B-but...
* You: I'm sorry... Kaoru. I promised [your bf] that we would do this together...
* Kaoru: Ehh~! Aw, I thought for sure I could get you to come~!
* Ryu: Isn't that unfortunate, Kaoru?! If you're finished here, you can leave now!
* Ryu: You're gonna get the rug pulled from under your eyes underestimating us, y'know~.
* Kaoru: Ugh...! You're so annoying~!
* Kaoru: Hmph, you're just an amateur. I'm pretty sure you're not going to win, but good luck anyway.
* Kaoru: I'm only looking forward to your performance, my love♪
* You: Well, that was pretty crazy...
* Kagura: But I suppose that's all the ammunition [your bf] needs.
* Dio: Yeah, but I think Kaoru likes to play a little too much.
* Kagura: Okay, let's get refocused~!
* You: You got it!
* Ryu: ...
* You: (Ryu...?)

* You: ... Maybe I should go check up on him.
* ---
* You: Hm? He's not here. I wonder where he went.
* Ryu: ... Let's do that part again!
* You: Hm...?
* Bf: ...!
* Ryu: Yeah, not bad at all! Let's go with what you just did!
* You: ([your bf]? And Ryu's practicing here, too...?)
* Ryu: If I had to give a bit of criticism... I'd say your line of sight.
* Bf: ?
* Ryu: It's good you make eye contact when you're talking to someone.
* Ryu: But when you're doing your monologue... Your line of sight is a little off.
* Ryu: Even if there's no one there, it's important you pretend there is for the part you're doing.
* Ryu: The people in the audience would notice how indecisive you are.
* Ryu: But don't worry about it! If you keep practicing with that in mind, you'll be fine!
* Ryu: Good luck!
* You: (They're really giving it their all... I can't lag behind!)
* ---
* Ryu: ...
* Devin: You were still practicing, Ryu.
* Ryu: Yeah... Woah, I didn't realize how late it was.
* Devin: You seem pretty motivated.
* Ryu: Motivated, huh...
* Ryu: ... I don't think it's motivation you're seeing... I think it's fear.
* Ryu: ... You heard that team Woodland is gonna be there, right?
* Devin: Ah, you mean the team that Kaoru is sponsoring?
* Ryu: It's the best of the best.
* Ryu: They've always remained on top.
* Ryu: And I kinda figured they would be here.
* Devin: Is there really a reason to be that afraid?
* Ryu: Yeah, plenty.
* Ryu: ... It was at the drama competition in high school. The judge tore me a new one.
* Devin: What did he say to you?
* Ryu: Hm, quite a bit.
* Ryu: Well... to put it simply, he said I wasn't fit to be an actor.
* Devin: Really? Your acting is exceptional. Dio even said you looked like a pro.
* Ryu: Ahh... that's not quite right...
* Ryu: It all happened before I started doing plays... He said I don't have what it takes.
* Ryu: So no matter how much I try... I'd never amount to anything.
* Devin: But... something like that would typically fuel you...
* Ryu: You don't get it. Talent is something that you're born with.
* Ryu: Saying to someone that they won't amount to anything is like a knife to the heart for an actor...
* Ryu: I know that myself, but... when I think about that possibly being repeated to me again...
* Devin: Ryu...
* Ryu: ... Wait, what in the world am I saying?!
* Ryu: Now's not the time to be talking about this. There isn't much time to practice.
* Devin: Ryu. There's nothing wrong with talking about your fears.
* Ryu: ... I know.
* Ryu: I want to forget that for now... Our performance has to be a success.
* Ryu: I want everyone... to feel like they had fun performing.
* Devin: ... I see.
* Devin: Okay, then. I'll head back first. Don't push yourself too much.
* Ryu: Yeah.
* Ryu: ...\*sigh\*
* Ryu: Now it's time to get focused...

* You: (We got plenty of cheers, but I couldn't hear them at all cause I blanked out...)
* Kagura: Great job, everyone~♪ It all came out great from where I was sitting.
* Devin: Magnificent performance.
* You: T-thanks...
* Zen: You look like you're exhausted.
* Dio: It appears you lack the necessary stamina being completely tired from just that.
* You: I-I'm sorry...
* Kagura: Dio, you're too strict. You get tired cause you give it everything you have.
* Kagura: Plus, the performance was a success.
* Devin: Did you hear all of those cheers...?
* You: I'm really happy everything went well.
* Kagura: I'd love to celebrate but can't do that without the lead actor. Where did he go?
* You: Good question... I'll find him.
* ---
* You: (Maybe he went to get changed. Where's the waiting room...)
* ???: If I remember correctly, you're the lead actor... [your bf], right?
* You: (Ryu's here as well. Hm? Who's that person that they're talking to?)
* Enok: Ah, sorry. I didn't properly introduce myself. I'm Enok, the lead actor for the team Woodland.
* Enok: You're new to plays, right? It's been a while since I've seen somenoe with such potential.
* You: (A famous actor? [your bf]'s amazing to get a compliment from someone like that.)
* Enok: Your partner was equally impressive. It was the perfect harmony of innocence and love.
* You: (Oof, this is all kinda embarrassing...)
* Ryu: ...
* You: (Hm? What's wrong with Ryu? He seems a little off...)
* Enok: ... You're Ryu, right? Haven't we met before?
* Ryu: ... That's right. I'm surprised you remembered.
* Enok: You could say I have a pretty good memory.
* Ryu: ...
* Enok: ... I almost didn't recognize you. You're pretty skilled, and you have character.
* Ryu: Ehh...?
* You: (Oh, that person must've been Ryu's friend...)
* Enok: You may be overshadowed by someone with presence, but that takes nothing away from your potential.
* Enok: You might be told you're not an actor, but the potential is there.
* Enok: From where I'm standing, the skies the limit for you.
* Ryu: ... I see you've changed your tune from last time, Enok.
* Enok: I say that to spare those who aren't willing to do what it takes to succeed.
* Enok: For late boomers like yourself, it's a long journey full of disappointment.
* Enok: I'm a prime example of that.
* Ryu: ...
* Enok: It doesn't look like it had any effect on you, though. Haha.
* Ryu: That's nothing to laugh about. I was really hurt by what you said...
* Enok: Yeah, sorry about that. ... Ah, it seems I've kept you longer than I wanted to.
* Enok: I think I'll take my leave then. I hope you come to see one of my plays sometime.
* Enok: I wouldn't mind sharing the stage with you one day as well.
* Ryu: ... I'll make sure that happens!
* Enok: I'll be waiting.
* You: (Both Ryu and [your bf] look pretty happy...)
* You: (I was worried about the whole thing at first, but... I'm thrilled we did this!)

**Standard - Meaningful Moment**

* You: (It's pretty quiet...)
* BF: ... [your name]?
* You: Oh, it's you, [BF name]! What's up?
* BF: I went looking for you cause you weren't in the waiting room, [your name].
* BF: What were you doing?
* You: Hmm, it's kinda hard to answer that...
* You: I guess you could say I was basking in the afterglow of the show.
* You: I can't believe there were so many people here not too long ago.
* BF: I understand how you feel.
* BF: It all feels like it was just a dream.
* You: Is that how it felt to you, too, [BF name]?
* BF: Yeah, I mean, I said things to you that I wouldn't usually say, [your name].
* You: Yeah, you don't talk in an overly dramatic fashion like that, but that's what's cool about plays.
* You: (It's a little embarrassing thinking about it now.)
* BF: But maybe I should start talking more passionately like Romeo.
* You: Why's that?
* BF: I don't want to regret not getting my feelings across.
* BF: I really like you, [your name].
* You: Y-you're starting now?!
* BF: I am. I don't want to waste this perfect opportunity.

**Friendly - Training Results**

* Bf: We gave it our all... and it was a big success!
* You: Yeah, everyone in the audience really seemed to enjoy themselves.
* Bf: It's all thanks to Ryu. I'm gonna have to thank him again the next time I see him.
* You: Huhu, I suppose it was cause of your secret training?
* Bf: Oof... you wouldn't have known if Ryu didn't let it slip out!
* You: Did you want to keep it a secret?
* Bf: Yeah... I mean, it's kinda lame...
* You: Wha? It's not lame at all! You looked really cool when you were practicing, [bf name].
* Bf: Thanks! It's a little embarrassing when you say it like that.
* Bf: ... Wait, you watched the whole thing?
* You: Ahh.
* Bf: Seriously...? That's super embarrassing...!
* You: S-sorry. But you were really great!
* Bf: Really? ... Okay, I'll repeat it one more time, so let me know what you think.
* You: Hm...?
* Bf: ...There's no reason to go on without you by my side...
* You: ...! W-what's gotten into you...?!
* Bf: Hm? It was my line from the play... Did I mess it up?
* You: Right, I knew that!
* You: (I misunderstood cause [bf name] said it so seriously. I'm so embarrassed now!)

**Tsundere - Hidden in the Lines**

* You: O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
* BF: ...the play is over. What exactly are you doing?
* You: Oof, [bf name]! How long were you standing there...?!
* BF: I just got here. Why were you reciting a line from the play?
* You: It just came out as I was thinking about what happened today...
* BF: Ah, so that's what happened.
* You: A-anyway! Thanks for being there with me the whole way.
* BF: ...Don't really need to be thanked. It was actually pretty fun.
* You: Really?
* BF: Well, I suppose it might be a little weird to say fun after doing a tragic play.
* You: Yeah, I suppose you're right.
* You: But I got a chance to hear you say a bunch of things you usually wouldn't say, [bf name]...
* You: Yeah, it was a bit tragic, but I still enjoyed it.
* BF: ...I see.
* You: (Is he... blushing?)
* BF: You weren't half bad yourself, [your name].
* You: Hm?
* BF: Taking a snippet from my lines, it's all because I have told you my feelings, [your name].
* You: Which part was that again?
* BF: Who knows.

**Mysterious - Intensifying Feelings**

* You: There were so many people here just a minute ago. Now, it's pretty quiet.
* Bf: Yeah, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear people talking.
* You: Hm? It sounds like it's coming from behind the stage.
* You: (I guess everyone is proud of how well they did.)
* Bf: All of this all makes me remember the night scene that we did.
* You: Umm... the one where Romeo and Juliet first met?
* Bf: The two of them gaze upon each other... after meeting behind an eventful party hall.
* You: You're still takling about the play... right?
* You: (I'm pretty sure he's talking about the play.)
* You: (But it's hard not to misunderstand given what he's saying...)
* Bf: Huhuhu, I'm not talking about the play.
* Bf: I don't have to get in character to let you know how much I care for you, [your name].
* Bf: ... I think I like you even more because of the play we did.
* You: Is that so...
* You: (It feels like we're still on stage with the way he's talking.)
* Bf: Do you have anything to say, [your name]?
* You: Hm? Ah, I feel the same way about you, too, [bf name].
* You: (It feels weird how I played someone else, yet I somehow learned more about myself.)
* Bf: Huhu, that makes me happy.
* Bf: I think the more we do, the more I'll like you, [your name].

**Tough - Always Together**

* Bf: Is that... the ring prop you have there?
* You: Yeah. I was thinking of taking it home as a souvenir.
* Bf: Why don't you try asking everyone?
* Bf: Pretty sure no one is gonna say no.
* You: You think so? Maybe I'll try my luck.
* You: (Still, this is a pretty strange ring...)
* Bf: Think I understand why you want that ring.
* You: Hm?
* Bf: You can go the person you love with the snap of a finger, right?
* You: Yeah, that's how Belle was able to return to the Beast.
* Bf: Having the ring means no matter how far you go, I'd be able to protect you.
* You: (So that's what he was thinking about...)
* You: But I'm okay even without the ring.
* Bf: Hm? And why's that?
* You: Cause you'll always be with me, right?
* Bf: ...!
* Bf: ... I see. Yeah, you're definitely right about that.
* You: Right?
* You: (It's a little embarrassing after having said it.)
* Bf: Indeed. Let me protect you now and always.

**Cute - Together Until Dawn**

* Bf: I'm completely exhausted...
* You: Great work, [bf name].
* Bf: I'm seriously tired~. I can't move an inch.
* You: You can't move...?
* You: It's not like we can stay here all day.
* Bf: Yeah, I know that. But it's fine staying here a little while longer, right?
* You: Okay... just for a little while longer.
* Bf: Huhuhu, awesome~! Thanks!
* Bf: Oh, yeah, let me borrow your lap, [your name]!
* You: Eh...?
* Bf: There's nothing wrong with getting rewarded for today, right?
* You: ...Fine. You can put your head down on my lap.
* Bf: Your lap feels terrific, [your name].
* Bf: ...I feel like I can understand what Juliet meant now.
* You: Are you talking about the thousand times goodnight line?
* Bf: Yeah, that's the one. It's really tough being separated from the one you love.
* You: That's true...
* You: Then why don't we stay here a bit longer?
* You: (Pus, I still wanna be alone with [bf name]...)
* Bf: Sounds good to me!

**Relaxed - Reason For Liking You**

* Bf: Good job today~.
* You: The part you played was perfect for you.
* Bf: Really? I'm really glad you think so~.
* Bf: You looked pretty cute in your outfit~.
* You: Thanks...
* You: (Why do I feel so embarrassed? I heard much more embarrassing things during the play.)
* You: (Is it cause he's not reciting lines?)
* Bf: [your name]?
* You: Ah, sorry. I was thinking about the play.
* You: Plays are pretty fun. You transform into someone else once you get into the role.
* You: You were pretty different from how you normally are.
* You: I mean that in a good way, of course.
* Bf: Huhu, thank you.
* Bf: But I can't say the same for you.
* You: Hm?
* You: (Does that mean my acting wasn't all that good?)
* Bf: The character you played matched you perfectly because you're kind and caring already.
* You: ... Am I?
* Bf: Yup. That's why I think my character fell in love with yours.
* Bf: I can definitely relate to that.

**Vain - Most Important**

* You: Oh... you were here.
* Bf: Is there something that's on your mind?
* You: Not at all! I couldn't be happier!
* You: But looking at everything here, I was thinking about what if.
* Bf: Hm? Ah, you're talking about the letter?
* You: Yeah.
* You: I can only imagine Romeo would've had a happy ending had he gotten the letter.
* Bf: That's probably true.
* Bf: If the relations between their families remained the same, I'm not sure it would've mattered.
* You: Yeah, you're probably right...
* You: (I suppose the hostile relationship between the families is what made it impossible to begin with.)
* You: Nothing good comes from fighting. It's sad not being able to be with the one you love.
* Bf: Yeah, that's true.
* Bf: Both families would've been happy had they realized they would've lost something precious.
* Bf: Like us.
* You: Hm?
* Bf: We both know what's important, right?
* You: Right...
* Bf: Judging from your face, it seems you don't fully understand.
* Bf: That's fine. It only means I need to make you understand.
* Bf: I'll keep telling you how I feel until you do understand. I hope you're ready.
* You: Sure...
