| Misumi: | It's okay... I can still remember your face, Gramps… |
| Misumi: | … |

| Misumi: | Tri-tr i-triangle! This time, I'll make a paper airplane with a jet engine! |
| Hakkaku: | Misumi! Where are you? |
| Misumi: | Gramps! You're here! |
| Hakkaku: | The troupe gave me a recording of one of their rehearsals, so I brought it back for you. |
| Misumi: | Yay! Thank you! |
| Hakkaku: | It's a story about pirates this time. |
| Misumi: | Pirates...? |
| Hakkaku: | That's right. See, it has all these rough-and-tumble characters. |
| Misumi: | … |
| Hakkaku: | The one with the biggest hat on is the captain of the crew. |
| Misumi: | … |
| Hakkaku: | Hahaha. Look at you. You're only this quiet when you're watching these plays. |
| Hakkaku: | Acting is a lot of fun, you know. You should try it out someday, Misumi. |
| Misumi: | Okay! |
| Hakkaku: | And when you do start acting… |
| --- | |
| Misumi: | When I start acting… |
| Misumi: | ... What was I supposed to do again? |
| Misumi: | Um… Umm…? |
| Misumi: | Why can't I remember...? |
| Misumi: | Gramps… |

| Muku: | Ye must be really nothin’ but a small fry fer us to snare you as, um, easy as this… |
| Muku: | Sorry! I messed up again… |
| Yuki: | Just relax, okay? |
| Kazunari: | Deep breaths, Mukkun! C’mon. Breathe in... and out! In… and out. |
| Muku: | In... and out. In... and out… |
| Muku: | Ye must be really nothin’ but a small fry fer us to snare you this easy as this! |
| Izumi: | (Even though we've started our rehearsals in earnest, Muku's still have trouble with his role... To make things worse, Misumi’s not doing so hot, either.) |
| Misumi: | … |
| Tenma: | Hey, Misumi. |
| Misumi:? | Huh? What's up, Tenma? |
| Kazunari: | Sumi... seriously, are you okay? |
| Yuki: | Seeing you stand all still and quiet is giving me the creeps. |
| Izumi: | Are you not feeling well? |
| Misumi: | Hm... My tummy doesn't hurt or anything, but… |
| Izumi: | What's wrong? |
| Misumi: | I just kind of feel sad and confused. Um... Like when a triangle isn’t a triangle? |
| Yuki: | What. |
| Misumi: | Umm… Hmm... Never mind. |
| Tenma: | You're the one who said you wanted to be the lead this time, so take some responsibility and lead us properly already. |
| Tenma: | Half-assing your role and spacing out during rehearsals disrespectful to the rest of us. |
| Misumi: | I'm sorry… |
| Yuki: | … |
| Muku: | … |
| Izumi: | (Oof, I feel like I could cut the air with a knife right now. I need to do something about this, or Misumi and Muku will lose even more confidence.) |
| Izumi: | (I wonder why I wonder why Tenma’s scolding Misumi so harshly? He isn’t usually so severe.) |
| Yuki: | Hey, Trianglian, What's got you stuck in your head? |
| Yuki: | I have no idea what you were trying to say before, so quit beating around the bush and explain it better this time. |
| Yuki: | If we leave you to your own devices, I bet you’ll just fill your head with triangles or whatever. |
| Kazunari: | Yeah! Yukki’s right. |
| Kazunari: | You chose to be the lead and supported that one hundred percent! If something’s eating at you, tell us! We all wanna help you figure it out! |
| Izumi: | (After all that trouble they went through as the leads of Sardine Search, both Kazunari and Yuki have grown so much!) |
| Muku: |
I-I might be more harm than help, but... I want to try and help you too, Misumi! |
| Tenma: | C'mon. Let's go figure this out so you can get back to your old self and focus on the play. |
| Misumi: | Thanks, guys... |
| Izumi: | Misumi, do you know what's making you feel so upset? |
| Misumi: |
...I can't remember Gramp's face. |
| Izumi: | Oh... Is that why you only drew a triangle when you tried to show us what Hakkaku looked like? |
| Misumi: | Uh-huh... I used to remember everything about Gramps, but now I can't even remember his face or the things he used to talk to me about... |
| Misumi: | Everything is really fuzzy.. and it's really scary. I feel so lonely, and my chest feels funny, like it's being squeezed real tight. |
| Misumi: | Gramps was the only one who didn't abandon me. He was the one who made sure I wasn't alone. |
| Misumi: | But now... I can't even remember his face... |
| Yuki: | Don't you have any pictures of him? |
| Misumi: | No... |
| Muku:: | We still have recordings from the old Mankai Company's rehearsals and performances. Plus, there's the storage room, right? Maybe we can find him in something! |
| Kazunari: | We can ask Manager if he has any photos or videos, too! |
| Misumi: | You guys will help me look for him in all that stuff? |
| Tenma: | Of course. We're here with you now, aren't we? You're not alone anymore. |
| Misumi: | ...Yeah! |
| Kazunari: | So where should we start looking? |
| Yuki: | The storage room is probably our best bet. |
| Muku: | Maybe we should ask Yuzo too. |
| Kazunari: | Yeah! He might have a photo album or something! |
| Izumi: | Hey, Tenma? |
| Tenma: | Hm? |
| Izumi: | I couldn't help but notice that you were a little harsh on Misumi earlier. |
| Tenma: | Oh, that... |
| Tenma: | See... As long as I'm here, I can help these guys up no matter how many times they stumble and fall. |
| Tenma: | But if I'm not around, then they'll have to figure out how to stand back up by themselves, right? |
| Tenma: | I can't always be the one holding their hand when things get rough. Eventually, they'll have to learn how to stand on their own, whether I'm here or not. |
| Izumi: | Oh... So that's what you were trying to do. |
| Izumi: | (It's not just Kazunari and Yuki who have matured. Tenma's grown a lot, too. He's started thinking about his fellow troupe members and what's best for them.) |
| Tsuzuru: | Hey, everyone. |
| Izumi: | Tsuzuru? What brings you here? |
| Tsuzuru: | I meant to talk to you all about something the other day, but I totally forgot. |
| Izumi: | Oh, that's right! You did mention something like that when you handed us the finished script. |
| Tsuzuru: | Yeah. Here. I wanted you guys to take a look at this. |
| Izumi: | A... sheet of paper? |
| Tsuzuru: | Just look at it for me. |
| Izumi: | ... |
| Izumi: | Wait, isn't this...? |
