227. Isn't it too much?

228. Futaba's is longer. Want to see?

248. What a joke.

249. What do you mean by that, Kaoruko?

250. Are you saying New National Opera Company is a joke?

251. Or...

252. Do you remember what day today is?

253. Today?

254. Seems like so long ago.

255. We aimed to be our ideal selves.

256. To stand on the stage of our dreams.

257. With such blood-boiling, piercing desire.

258. The audition.

259. I waited all this time to be called in for the next audition.

260. But I never was.

261. Somewhere out there, someone other than me is becoming a top star.

262. Just thinking of it...

263. Did you forget it? Give up on it? Accept it?

264. That you're not top stars?

265. What a joke.

266. Kaoruko.

267. Kaoruko...

268. It's your fault...!

277. It's the company's forte.

278. The program has been rerun many times, but each time it's a whole new show.

279. Their pride and responsibility as leaders in the theatrical world.

280. That's what makes New National...

281. Salvatore flies through the air, see?

282. You're going to ask all that?

283. Leave me alone. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

284. You're right.

285. Everyone's so excited.

286. Like any other fan out there.

287. Yeah.

288. Cheer up.

289. You convinced Isurugi to audition for New National, didn't you?

312. "We are already on stage."

313. And the stage?

314. The train will arrive at the next station.

315. And you?

316. This train ride is taking forever.

348. It's finally here.

349. Somehow I grow tired of the glitter, is this it?

350. The gold doesn't glisten as it should

351. None of this is an excuse for running away, not at all

352. This time, I'm going to be the top star!

353. You're still on stage, even if you leave

354. This is not an audition.

355. Do you understand that words are not enough?

356. Come on, let's get serious

357. I told you. It's not an audition.

401. He likes the idea.

402. You know how Karen can be shy.

404. So I thought, why not give it a try?

405. Not too long ago, these cards were all she cared for.

406. Karen, she's here to pick you up.

407. Coming.

408. But you know what?

409. I bet you just want to see Karen in different costumes, huh, Sis?

420. On stage, I can become any version of me that I want.

421. I've never seen anything so pretty.

422. Yeah. It's really pretty.

423. But...

424. Let's go, to the stage.

452. You must be tired.

453. What a mess.

454. You look awful.

455. But you've written a lot.

456. Wait.

457. Don't.

458. We promised, remember?

459. The kickoff will be the deadline.

460. But...

475. What does that mean?

476. I'm so scared!

477. Can we outdo our previous, 100th Starlight?

535. I can't play Starlight by myself.

536. I made up my mind. I'm not coming back till I'm a star.

537. I won't meet you either.

538. Why? Why!

539. You're too dependent on me.

540. Can we call each other?

541. No.

542. Um, then... How about letters?

543. You don't have to write back.

544. Please, just let me write, okay?

545. Let's meet again on stage.

546. Yeah, it's a promise!

547. No, it's destiny.

548. Destiny?

549. That's right. We're going to stand on the stage of destiny.

554. Yeah?

555. We got a letter from Hikari's mom.

557. What are you doing there?

558. Let me see. Where in London?

559. It says "West Act." She wrote about Hikari...

560. I won't read it!

561. We promised we won't see each other until we meet on stage.

562. It's our destiny, so I won't see it or hear it!
