Re-debut Live - The Next Day

Win-Wing-Production Office

Sakiko(We managed to make it through our re-debut without incident, but... now comes the real challenge.)

Sakiko(There is still so much that must be done...)

MutsumiMorning.

SakikoGood morning. You have an interview next, don't you?

MutsumiYeah.

SakikoI have a meeting. See you later.

MutsumiYeah. See you.

SakikoYeah.

Sakiko...

SakikoOh, I got it wrong. Today's meeting is in Room B, not Room A, right?

Actress ALong time no see, Mutsumi-chan~♪ Do you remember me?

Sakiko!

Actress AI used to visit your home and play with you a lot when you were little. Do you remember?

MutsumiIt's been a while.

Sakiko(She's an actress who has worked with Mutsumi's mother several times.)

Actress AI watched your performance video too, Mutsumi-chan. Well, you're Minami's daughter, so I guess it's only natural you'd be amazing. Talent really does run in the family~

Sakiko...

Sakiko(Things like this... must have happened to her many times before.)

Actress AWe should perform on stage together sometime. Though if we did, I might end up completely overshadowed by Minami's talented little daughter!

Sakiko(How blatant...)

MutsumiIt's okay. I know how to make my co-stars shine, too.

MutsumiI am a thoroughbred, after all.

Actress A...!! Oh, is that so? Well, I'll look forward to it.

StaffOh, Wakaba-san~! There you are. Your interview is about to start.

MutsumiYes.

Sakiko...?

Sakiko(Something feels... off?)

Another Day

In Front of the Office

FanWow~~♡ Mortis-sama~! I wrote you a letter! Would you please accept it?

MutsumiThank you.

MutsumiNext time, I'd like to see you at the masquerade.

MutsumiCan you do that?

FanY-Yes...! Of course!!!

Sakiko(She handled that... rather well.)

Another Day

ReporterWith parents as famous as yours, I imagine there's a lot of pressure. People must see you differently wherever you go.

ReporterNo matter where you go or what you do, there will always be people who say you owe it to your parents' fame, won't there?

MutsumiI have the deepest respect for my parents. Being born to such wonderful parents, I naturally feel pressure to live up to them.

MutsumiBut once I have my moment to shine, you'll see just how amazing I am. If anything, their light only makes mine shine brighter.

ReporterHaha, that's wonderful.

Sakiko...

Sakiko(As the daughter of celebrities, that was a flawless answer. And yet, something about it...)

Sakiko(What exactly... is this feeling?)

SakikoCome to think of it... back then...

MortisSakiko-chan, you don't understand anything either. "Mutsumi-chan" has never existed from the beginning.

MortisMutsumi-chan and I are both just one of many roles.

MortisThe character "Mutsumi" gained the consciousness we call "Mutsumi-chan"... and everyone else disappeared.

Sakiko(Could it be...)

Sakiko(She's neither Mortis... nor Mutsumi...?)

MutsumiSaki, aren't you going home? Are you still working?

Sakiko("Saki.")

Sakiko(Something feels... different.)

Mutsumi...?

SakikoNo... it's nothing. Let's go home, "Mutsumi."

MutsumiYeah. Let's walk to the station together.

SakikoYeah.

Sakiko(No matter "who" Mutsumi is now, my resolve from the day I chose to bear the weight of her life remains unchanged.)

Sakiko(For now, all I can do is watch over her... But for "Mutsumi"... I would do anything...)
