Reki
The movie I'm about to work on is also going to include a few others from Shunmeiza...


Reki
But they still need more extras. So, if you'd like, would you all like to apply to be in it?

Nene
I know we're just gonna be playing roles like a girl having a picnic or a man admiring flowers, but we should still do our best.

Tsukasa
Agreed. We may be extras, but we're still going to be people who live in the world of the story...

Nene
Yeah. Screen acting is supposed to be way different from stage acting, but I can't wait to see how Bakuno does.
Rui
(Emu's brothers gave us a chance to work with Shunmeiza, and now we've been given this opportunity thanks to one of their actors...)

Rui
(On top of learning as much as we can from the opportunities they've given us, I hope we get to repay everyone someday...)

Rui
(After doing some quick research, I found that he doesn't employ big plot twists or anything of the sort in his films. His works seem to be mostly subdued stories that carefully explore his characters' feelings.)

Rui
(Including this one. The protagonist has all but given up on life, but someone calling herself his long-lost sister suddenly appears before him. And he begins to change as a result.)

Rui
(The climax is obviously the most exciting part, but the entire story is remarkably mellow and subdued. Which means...)

Rui
(The backdrops for the stage would also need to be fairly simple. But we could make it so that they change little by little as the protagonist's feelings evolve over time...)

Rui
(Where the characters stand would also play a crucial role. They'd start out far apart, but move closer together as they get to know one another...)

Rui
In any case, I want to take what I can from this film and use it to learn how to put on better performances...

Emu
Also, while we watched, I was reminded of what we had for lunch each day and all the things we had to carry up that big hill...

Nene
Still, I can't believe we got to be in this film... We should try to make the most of this incredible experience and use it to put on better performances.

Tsukasa
You never shied away from the problem at hand. You thought long and hard about what the answer to that question was, and Bakuno said he was grateful for your efforts.

Nene
He's right. The fact that you were credited as the director's assistant is proof that they recognize you did a good job.

Rui
(Getting to work on the film ended up being invaluable. It showed me just how deep the directing rabbit hole goes.)

Rui
(I'm going to do everything possible in order to become the best director I can. I'm going to make the others feel proud.)
