Nyamu

(I want to become an actor.)

Nyamu

(For that, I'll do streaming, variety shows—anything.)

Nyamu

(I'll do whatever it takes to force my way forward.
That's just the way I am. It's the only way I know how.)

Sakiko

Nyamu-san? I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting.
I'm the one who contacted you, Sakiko Togawa.

(I have no choice but to take this offer.
Uika from sumimi, Minami Mori's daughter... She's got some strong cards in her hand.)

Nyamu

(With those cards, I'm going to seize my chance.)

Nyamu

(I'm going to become an actor...)

Nyamu

Nyamu's Younger Brother

Big sister, what do you mean, disbanding?
Mujica is gone!? We came all this way to see ya!

Nyamu's Younger Sister

We won't get to see Nyamu-chan play drums anymore?
No... Ugh... *Sniff*...

Nyamu's Mother

The kids are gettin' a little worked up.
You're the one hurtin' the most right now. I'm sorry...
I'll call ya again once things settle down.

Nyamu

I'm really sorry.
Geez~ I never thought it'd turn out like this.
I didn't expect it either.

Nyamu's Mother

I don't know all the details,
but if it gets too hard, you can always come home.
For today, just get some rest, okay?

Nyamu

Mama...

Nyamu's Mother

Huh?

Nyamu

I ain't givin' up... No way!

Nyamu's Mother

Just make sure to take care of yourself, ya hear?

Nyamu

(I ain't lettin' it end like this.)

Stakeholder A

Then, let's confirm this matter later in the board meeting...
Please make time for it.

Nyamu

Excuse me.

Stakeholder B

Yūtenji-san, what's the matter?

Nyamu

May I take a moment of your time?
I have something to discuss with you all.

Nyamu

I'm truly sorry,
especially after things have turned out like this.

Nyamu

I know it doesn't make up for anything,
but please, give me as much work as you can.
Fill-ins, backup jobs—whatever it is, I'll do it.

Nyamu

Please!

MC

And now!
Today's guests are from unique backgrounds! Let's first introduce Nyamuchi!

Nyamu

Here I am!

MC

We see you on variety shows every day~

Nyamu

Thank you!
We had that setup of us being dolls, right?

MC

Ahaha! Do you want to start from there?
But now, you are doing videos, streaming, and all sorts of things, right?

Nyamu

I want those who support me to feel like,
"Being a fan of Nyamuchi is amazing!"
So—

Nyamu

(Since I've come this far, I have to keep doing whatever it takes.)

Nyamu

(I'll survive in show business, no matter what!
But...)

Nyamu

(What's the point of just surviving?
Even if I keep hanging on like this...
I don't know if I'll ever have the courage to stand alongside real actors...)

Nyamu

(No! I'm going to become an actor!
If I don't, then everything I've done up until now—)

Nyamu

("If you're gonna run away, maybe you don't belong in this world."
No! That's not true!
I'll make it through this audition and prove them wrong!)

Nyamu

(I haven't been able to get her out of my head since then.)

Nyamu

(I'm scared of her, I hate her... and I love her.)

Nyamu

(If I run away now, everything I've worked for
will all have been for nothing. After my family supported me this much...
Like hell I'm giving up on my dream here...!)

Nyamu

(I ain't going to run away from you!)

Nyamu

(I have no choice but to keep playing in Mujica.)

Nyamu

"I know it's necessary in order to be reborn!"

Nyamu

"But will love be gone too? What about sadness? Fear?
Forgetfulness? Death?"

Mutsumi

"I do not fear."

Mutsumi

"Take a good look at yourself."

Nyamu

Are you going to accompany me?

Mutsumi

Okay. Go ahead, Amoris.
