Copy !req
236. What do you mean you're not going?
Copy !req
237. What for? I'm not auditioning for New National.

Copy !req
246. the best opera companies in the world, right?
Copy !req
247. What a joke.
Copy !req
248. What do you mean by that, Kaoruko?
Copy !req
249. Are you saying New National Opera Company is a joke?
Copy !req
250. Or...
Copy !req
251. Do you remember what day today is?
Copy !req
252. Today?
Copy !req
253. Seems like so long ago.
Copy !req
254. We aimed to be our ideal selves.
Copy !req
255. To stand on the stage of our dreams.
Copy !req
256. With such blood-boiling, piercing desire.
Copy !req
257. The audition.
Copy !req
258. I waited all this time to be called in for the next audition.
Copy !req
259. But I never was.
Copy !req
260. Somewhere out there, someone other
than me is becoming a top star.
Copy !req
261. Just thinking of it...
Copy !req
262. Did you forget it? Give up on it? Accept it?
Copy !req
263. That you're not top stars?
Copy !req
264. What a joke.
Copy !req
265. Kaoruko.
Copy !req
266. Kaoruko...
Copy !req
267. It's your fault...!

Copy !req
275. I know, El Dorado.
Copy !req
276. It's the company's forte.
Copy !req
277. The program has been rerun many times,
but each time it's a whole new show.
Copy !req
278. Their pride and responsibility
as leaders in the theatrical world.
Copy !req
279. That's what makes New National...
Copy !req
280. Salvatore flies through the air, see?
Copy !req
281. You're going to ask all that?
Copy !req
282. Leave me alone. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Copy !req
283. You're right.
Copy !req
284. Everyone's so excited.
Copy !req
285. Like any other fan out there.

308. Someday, I'll get the leading role. So for now...
Copy !req
309. I'm sure you'll be able to get that good.
Copy !req
310. At least as good as Maya Tendo, anyway.
Copy !req
311. "We are already on stage."
Copy !req
312. And the stage?
Copy !req
313. The train will arrive at the next station.

Copy !req
350. None of this is an excuse for running away, not at all
Copy !req
351. This time, I'm going to be the top star!
Copy !req
352. You're still on stage, even if you leave
Copy !req
353. This is not an audition.

354. Do you understand that words are not enough?
Copy !req
355. Come on, let's get serious
Copy !req
356. I told you. It's not an audition.
Copy !req
357. Nana...

Copy !req
402. Is she?
Copy !req
403. So I thought, why not give it a try?

Copy !req
405. Karen, she's here to pick you up.
Copy !req
406. Coming.
Copy !req
407. But you know what?

Copy !req
418. Any kind of miracle can happen on stage.
Copy !req
419. On stage, I can become any version of me that I want.
Copy !req
420. I've never seen anything so pretty.
Copy !req
421. Yeah. It's really pretty.
Copy !req
422. But...
Copy !req
423. Let's go, to the stage.
Copy !req
424. And become a shining star, the two of us.
Copy !req
425. Mom, take a picture!
Copy !req

Copy !req
427. Karen, loosen up.
Copy !req
428. That's the day Stage Girl Karen Aijo was born.
Copy !req
429. Banana muffins, banana pudding, banana financier.
Copy !req
430. I had fun baking for everyone.
Copy !req
431. But they've all gone, in search of new roles, new stages.
Copy !req
432. Hungry, thirsty for more.
Copy !req
433. But not you. You're still here.
Copy !req
434. So you must find it.
Copy !req
435. Just like how everyone
has a stage where they must stand...
Copy !req
436. Find the stage that awaits only you
at the end of this road.
Copy !req
437. I have to go now.
Copy !req
438. My stage?

Copy !req
446. Why?
Copy !req
447. Why her?
Copy !req
448. The train will arrive at the next station.
Copy !req
449. And the stage?
Copy !req
450. And you?
Copy !req
451. You must be tired.
Copy !req
452. What a mess.
Copy !req
453. You look awful.
Copy !req
454. But you've written a lot.
Copy !req
455. Wait.
Copy !req
456. Don't.
Copy !req
457. We promised, remember?
Copy !req
458. The kickoff will be the deadline.
Copy !req
459. But...
Copy !req
460. I know you're scared.
Copy !req
461. But we have to keep going.
Copy !req
462. Everyone's waiting.

Copy !req
472. But the ending...
Copy !req
473. Yes, it's unfinished.
Copy !req
474. What does that mean?
Copy !req
475. I'm so scared!
Copy !req
476. Can we outdo our previous, 100th Starlight?
Copy !req
477. Gosh, it's so scary.
Copy !req
478. But of course it is, right?
Copy !req
479. Seisho Music Academy Over the Years
Copy !req
480. This is our first graduation performance.
Copy !req
481. I bet our seniors were scared, too.
Copy !req
482. But we have each other.
Copy !req
483. Because this is the last stage
for the 99th graduating class.
Copy !req
484. There's no time to stall.
Copy !req
485. I want to complete it, together with you all!
Copy !req

eventually rot and perish."
Copy !req

503. Wow.
Copy !req
504. We are already on stage.
Copy !req
505. So pretty.
Copy !req
506. Snack time is over.
Copy !req
507. Hungry, thirsty, we go in search of a new stage.
Copy !req
508. That's what a Stage Girl does.
Copy !req
509. What about everyone else?
Copy !req
510. "I'm already on stage."
Copy !req
511. That's why it was her.
Copy !req
512. I saw it that day.
Copy !req
513. Our death, after the rerun.
Copy !req
514. And so...
Copy !req
515. Get back up on stage.
Copy !req

Copy !req
517. Settle it.
Copy !req
518. With your old naive self.
Copy !req
519. I will resume my role.
Copy !req
520. My obsession towards her.
Copy !req
521. I will settle it with her.
Copy !req
522. Settle it? Settle what?
Copy !req
523. To greedily, savagely...
Copy !req
524. continue acting on stage.
Copy !req
525. Towards the next stage.
Copy !req
526. Your existence continues to mesmerize me.
Copy !req
527. That's right. I am your nourishment, your fuel.
Copy !req
528. Show me your best performance.
Copy !req
529. I understand.
Copy !req
530. We are already on stage.
Copy !req
531. There are two left on the cast.
Copy !req
532. If you go to Dondon...
Copy !req
533. It's "London."
Copy !req
534. I can't play Starlight by myself.
Copy !req
535. I made up my mind.
I'm not coming back till I'm a star.
Copy !req
536. I won't meet you either.
Copy !req
537. Why? Why!
Copy !req
538. You're too dependent on me.
Copy !req
539. Can we call each other?
Copy !req
540. No.
Copy !req
541. Um, then... How about letters?
Copy !req
542. You don't have to write back.
Copy !req
543. Please, just let me write, okay?
Copy !req
544. Let's meet again on stage.
Copy !req
545. Yeah, it's a promise!
Copy !req
546. No, it's destiny.
Copy !req
547. Destiny?
Copy !req
548. That's right. We're going
to stand on the stage of destiny.
Copy !req
549. So let's exchange tickets for the stage of destiny.
Copy !req
550. Okay!
Copy !req
551. Thank you.
Copy !req
552. Karen.
Copy !req
553. Yeah?
Copy !req
554. We got a letter from Hikari's mom.
Copy !req
555. A letter from London.
Copy !req
556. What are you doing there?
Copy !req
557. Let me see. Where in London?
Copy !req
558. It says "West Act." She wrote about Hikari...
Copy !req
559. I won't read it!
Copy !req
560. We promised we won't see
each other until we meet on stage.
Copy !req
561. It's our destiny, so I won't see it or hear it!
Copy !req
562. It's our destiny, so I won't see it or hear it!
Copy !req

Copy !req
598. You mean your friend, Hikari?
Copy !req
599. You're still in touch with her?
Copy !req
600. She writes her a letter every month.
Copy !req
601. Karen does, anyway.
Copy !req
602. Just Karen?
Copy !req
603. They made a promise that only Karen can write.
Copy !req
604. Since when?
Copy !req
605. Since they were five, so it's been seven years now.
Copy !req
606. Seven years?
Copy !req
607. Hikari's mom writes me a letter now and then.
Copy !req
608. Seasonal greetings and photos of Hikari.
Copy !req

Copy !req
610. Wow, how dignified she's become.
Copy !req
611. We made a promise.
Copy !req
612. That we won't meet until we meet on stage.
Copy !req
613. So I'm not going to see or hear.

614. Don't you want to look her up?
Copy !req
615. No, I don't!
Copy !req
616. Fine.
Copy !req
617. Are you scared?
Copy !req
618. Huh?
Copy !req
619. That she might've forgotten about your promise.
Copy !req
620. I'm not scared at all.
Copy !req
621. I'm not scared.
Copy !req
622. You need to at least get into Seisho then.
Copy !req
623. Seisho?

Copy !req
994. But that's only for now.
Copy !req
995. "For now. For now." You keep making those excuses.
Copy !req
996. A hideous fruit, disgracing itself.

Copy !req
1140. I thought I'd already made that decision.
Copy !req
1141. But I wasn't ready for my next stage.
