Dr. Jekyll's Anguish

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"It's finished... It's finally finished..."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"With this potion, I should be able to part with that foul character — Hyde."

***Gulp.***

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"\*groan\* Aaahhh!"

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"\*huff\* \*pant\* My body is aching to go on a rampage... Now where shall I head off to tonight?"

 **Junna:**No, this won't do. This just makes me a regular villain.

 **Junna:**I'm stuck. It's almost time for the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" performance too.

 **Maya:**It looks like you're struggling with Mr. Hyde's portrayal.

 **Junna:**Oh, Tendo-san.

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"If you're troubled, how about consulting me, Utterson, Dr. Jekyll's good friend?"

 **Junna:**Huh?

 **Junna:**Heh heh, thanks, Mr. Utterson. Then I shall take you on your offer.

 **Junna:**Actually, I can't seem to find the way to go about portraying Mr. Hyde...

 **Maya:**The way to portray him?

 **Junna:**Yes. Mr. Hyde is a personality born as a reaction to the respectable Jekyll's oppressed emotions.

 **Junna:**I think the most important point of this role is his wicked insanity that runs rampant with an impulsive destructiveness.

 **Maya:**I see. I also think it's crucial to include Mr. Hyde's insanity.

 **Junna:**But it's the "insanity" that's a nuisance.

 **Maya:**Nuisance?

 **Junna:**Insanity is only insanity when even you yourself don't know what you're doing.

 **Junna:**In order to capture that insanity objectively, I've experimented various ways to act it out.

 **Junna:**But it's only insanity when you don't realize it yourself.

 **Maya:**Once you've realized it, it's no longer insanity.

 **Junna:**Yes, you're exactly right.

 **Junna:**To refine the acting, an objective view is necessary but the moment I'm aware of it, the insanity is lost.

 **Junna:**The more I think about it the more lost I get.

 **Maya:**I have to be aware of the insanity to act it out, but the moment I'm aware of it, it disappears.

 **Maya:**That is quite the conundrum.

 **Junna:**Yeah. So I don't know what to do anymore.

 **Maya:**Hm...

 **Maya:**Hoshimi-san, this is just my opinion, but I think the most important thing is to not look back.

 **Junna:**Not look back?

 **Maya:**If insanity is lost when you become aware of it, then you should stick to being completely subjective and not look back.

 **Maya:**In short, just absorb yourself into the role and enjoy it.

 **Junna:**...!

 **Maya:**Looking back on your own acting - like self-reflection... Being able to look at it objectively is a strength of yours.

 **Maya:**But on the other hand, I think it's more of a hindrance for you right now.

 **Maya:**Maybe sometimes it's important to not rely on that and just enjoy the role.

 **Junna:**...

 **Maya:**Hoshimi-san? What's the matter?

 **Junna:**Ah, it's nothing. I didn't think I'd hear that from you so I was just a little surprised.

 **Maya:**Was it unexpected?

 **Junna:**Yeah. To be honest, I'd always thought your acting was more theory-based than feeling-based.

 **Maya:**Heh heh, you're right. It's true that this is something that I would never have come up with in the past.

 **Maya:**But recently, I've started to enjoy my roles in an instinctive way like Aijo-san.

 **Maya:**It's also thanks to everyone at Frontier.

 **Maya:**In which case... This is Maya Tendo, getting better day by day.

 **Junna:**To hear you say that — that's also a result of your improvement.

 **Junna:**Anyway... To leave it all behind and enjoy the role...

 **Junna:**Thank you, Tendo-san. Thanks to you, I think I've figured it out.

 **Maya:**You're welcome. I look forward to seeing your Mr. Hyde.

The Freed Mr. Hyde

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"Hidden SILHOUETTE... Harsh VOICE...
The me within myself... Just who are you?"

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"You've noticed, haven't you, Hyde — No, Dr. Jekyll."

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"Jekyll? That's right.
That's the name of the NOISE ringing inside me... TRUE VOICE — the real identity behind this voice."

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"Stop it already, Hyde. You mustn't commit any more crimes."

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"FREEDOM! No one can stop me... Unleashed PERSONA...
Growing desires... This is my STYLE... Hyde."

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"Ngh, not yet... BREAKDOWN!
Quiet down, VOICE... I... As I am... As I like..."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"...Ah, it's Utterson..."

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"Dr. Jekyll! You're conscious!"

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"Yes, I appear to have been able to gain it back somehow... Nngh."

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"Doctor!"

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"Utterson. The potion will cease to work soon. The next time Hyde's personality appears, I'm afraid I won't return."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"In that case, that greed-filled personality's desires will most likely keep growing and he'll continue to commit wicked deeds and crimes."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"That's why, to prevent further damage, I will take this life and put an end to this tragedy."

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"Dr. Jekyll, you mustn't be hasty. You can still start over."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"Unfortunately, it is too late. Hyde has already committed numerous crimes. I must take responsibility as the one who created him."

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"If you are to take responsibility, then you should accept him, live on, and pay for the crimes."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"Accept Hyde, you say?"

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"That's right, Dr. Jekyll. Accept yourself. Mr. Hyde is also a part of you!"

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"Hyde is me?"

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"I'm sure you're aware. No matter how much you try to avoid it, Hyde is a part of you..."

 **Maya:****(As Utterson)**
"A strong desire for destruction and pleasure exists inside of you."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"I... I..."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"Yes, I longed for them — dark and immoral acts of crime. It was too much of a sweet temptation for the me who was forced into this respectable way of life."

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"That's why... BIRTH. This PERSONA of mine was born."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"I'd thought that if I could cut ties with this loathsome character with a potion, everything would be solved, but..."

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"MISTAKE... I made a mistake... DRUG...
Excessive drugs... The me inside you has grown even more."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll)**
"I understand... What's important is acknowledgement...
Acknowledge...my desires...my longing for crime."

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"I'll admit it... My GUILT."

 **Junna:****(As Jekyll & Hyde)**
"I am thou, thou art I... A REVERSIBLE style...
I... We are Jekyll and Hyde."

After the Performance

 **Junna:**Thank goodness.

 **Maya:**That was a great play, Hoshimi-san.

 **Junna:**You were great too, Tendo-san!

 **Maya:**I was surprised by your Mr. Hyde. I hadn't expected that...narcissism.

 **Maya:**With a certain absurdity added to it, it brought a renewed version of the otherwise only brutal Hyde.

 **Junna:**Heh, thanks. It was worth my hard work at exploring.

 **Maya:**How did you come up with this?

 **Junna:**It was to not look back. Your words gave me a hint.

 **Junna:**Jekyll, who normally lives a respectable life, yearns deeply for evil...for immoral acts of crime.

 **Junna:**When Jekyll transforms into Mr. Hyde, he loses his inhibition.

 **Junna:**He enjoys his fill of wicked deeds without ever looking back.

 **Junna:**The acting should be over the top too so it's embarrassing, but I figured it'd be good to have him speak poetically.

 **Maya:**I see... It's true that when emotions run high, people can sometimes turn poetical.

 **Junna:**Even so, I needed quite a bit of courage to be able to take on Hyde's role.

 **Junna:**Up until now, I've never had a role that's so out there. I'm not sure if I've done it correctly.

 **Junna:**To be quite honest, I'm terrified that I might have overdone it.

 **Junna:**But that's why I thought it was worth trying.

 **Junna:**The assignment I set for myself this time was to not look back.

 **Junna:**In order to reach the stage, I had to endure the embarrassment that made me want to look back.

 **Junna:**Thanks to that, I feel like I've gained another outstanding performance.

 **Maya:**Heh heh. Looks like the Hyde within Hoshimi-san has been awakened.

 **Junna:**You're right. Occasionally, these kinds of roles are nice too.

 **Junna:****(As Hyde)**
"HORIZON... Surpass it... Beyond the horizon...
The burning PASSION... The brilliance within me."

 **Junna:**Thanks to the hard work I put into Jekyll and Hyde, I think they've turned out nicely. Look forward to the performance!

 **Junna:**Out of all the roles I've done so far, Hyde's role was definitely the most difficult one.

 **Junna:**The more I tried to find the answer, the most lost I became. Tendo-san said it was a conundrum and she's exactly right.

 **Junna:**It was worth all my efforts though. I was able to develop a new style of acting for myself. It's important to not look back sometimes.
