Izumi: | Please accept this going-away gift. We were still neighbors, if only for a little while. |
Reo: | Thank you. You're too kind. |
Izumi: | ...I wish you a bright future. |
Reo: | Ngh...! |
Kota: | Huh... Reo? |
Reo: | Don't tell me you're... |
Izumi: | To think you were right under my nose... |
Kota: | What's with you guys? |
Izumi: | Oh, filthy creature of the night. Thou shalt be eradicated in the name of my blood pact! |
Izumi: | (Suddenly, Izumi, who has been nothing but a kind neighbor, does a complete 180... Tsumugi's really showing what he's made of with this chilling performance.) |
Kota: | What are you even saying?! |
Reo: | Get out of here Kota...! |
Kota: | Don't be ridiculous! THere's no way I'd leave you here when you're so badly wounded! |
Izumi: | That wasn't enough, I see. |
Kota: | Stop it! |
Izumi: | ...! |
Franz: | Oh, my. |
Izumi: | Another one?! |
Franz: | I thought I'd finally join the party, but it looks like I got the short end of the stick. |
Izumi: | Hngh...! |
Franz: | Still wanna go? Unlike my friend here, I won't pull any punches. |
Izumi: | Tch... |
Kota: | Hey, Reo! Are you okay?! |
Franz: | I can help him. |
Kota: | You're the guy who was with Reo before... |
Franz: | I'm the same as him. |
Kota: | Can you really save him? |
Franz: | Probably. |
Kota: | ...Fine. Please take care of him. |
Franz: | That's a good boy. |
Kota: | But you'd better come back and tell me what the hell's going on. |
Franz: | ALl right. I'll let him know you want to speak. |
--- | |
Reo: | Argh... |
Franz: | You finally awake? You've got to be more careful. I had to use all my emergency rations on you. |
Reo: | Kota... |
Franz: | He's fine. Don't worry, I didn't demand that he share his blood or anything. You should be bowing down at my feet to thank me for my generosity. |
Reo: | ... |
Franz: | Now that you're up, my work here is done. It's up to you to figure out what you want to do from here on out. |
Franz: | Our cover's been blown, so we can't stay here any longer. Headquarter's already informed me that we need to decide our next move soon. |
Reo: | What exactly have we done wrong? We only live a little longer than normal humans. |
Franz: | Anything unorthodox must be eliminated. That's how things have been from time immemorial. That's the true nature of humans. |
Reo: | ... |
Franz: | Oh, but before you leave, you should talk to that Kota guy. I promised him you would. |

Reo: | ... |
Kota: | Reo...? Reo?! |
Reo: | Hngh... |
Kota: | Geez, back on the ground again? |
Reo: | I wasn't planning on coming back, but there's something I need to tell you... |
Kota: | That's enough. Just relax for now. |
Reo: | ... |
Izumi: | (Reo finally reveals his true identity as a vampire to Kota, who has been taking care of him this whole time...) |
Reo: | This is goodbye, Kota. I'm so thankful that I met you. |
Kota: | I understand everything now. But that doesn't mean you have to leave. |
Reo: | If I stay, it'll only put you in danger. |
Reo: | Humans like you make even this mundane life worth living. Thank you. |
Kota: | Wait! Do you really plan on going out alone and passing out somewhere again? |
Reo: | I'll be more careful from now on. |
Izumi: | (Tasuku’s doing a fantastic job bringing forth Kota’s ambiguous feelings for Reo, which float between friendship and compassion.) |
Izumi: | (And then there’s Reo, who wishes to continue living in solitude, while also wanting to cling to Kota…) |
Izumi: | (Reo and Kota’s tenuous connection, which runs like intersecting lines that will never meet again, is remarkably similar to Azuma and Tasuku’s relationship.) |
Kota: | Do you plan to continue wandering aimlessly, all by yourself? |
Reo: | That's the fate of my kind. |
Kota: | ...Take me with you, then. |
Reo: | What...? |
Kota: | I'm saying that I'll keep you company. I'll become a vampire and do whatever it takes to help you. |
...Thank you, Kota. Those words alone mean the world to me… | |
Kota: | Reo... |
Kota: | Are you biting...?! |
--- | |
Reo: | Good night, and sweet dreams... |
Izumi: | (It's a simple line but from it, Reo’s sadness and pain of having to leave comes through clearly, as does his kindness and acceptance of Kota…) |
Izumi: | (This is the Reo that Azuma ended up bringing to life.) |
Kota: | Re...o... |

Nonomiya: | Seo! Are you alive?! |
Kota: | Ngh... |
Nonomiya: | What, you just overslept? You had me worried since you didn't show up to work. |
Kota: | I... overslept? |
Nonomiya: | What's wrong? |
Kota: | Reo... |
Nonomiya: | Oh? Has your freeloader finally gone? |
Kota: | Yeah, he left me behind... |
Nonomiya: | What on Earth are you talking about? |
Kota: | ... |
Nonomiya: | Hey, you okay? Seo? |
Kota: | That idiot... |
Izumi: | (Oh... That last line was an adlib. He poured so much emotion into that one line...) |
Izumi: | (Kota looks so pained as he thinks of Reo continuing to live in seclusion... No, wait. His gaze isn't filled with pain but with unwavering determination.) |
Izumi: | (His eyes make it clear that he's ready to chase after Reo. I see… So this is how Tasuku decided to portray Kota at the very end.) |

Tsumugi: | We did it. |
Izumi: | Congrats on a wonderful opening night, guys! |
Hisoka: | ...That was great. |
Azuma: | What a big relief. |
Homare: | Let us carry this momentum with us until closing night! |
Tasuku: | We still need to fine-tune some things, though. |
Izumi: | You're right. But good job everyone! You all did so well. |
Azuma: | I want to go on a drive, Tasuku. |
Tasuku: | Huh? |
Azuma: | Remember when I said that we should go to the beach with everyone sometime? |
Tasuku: | You're not saying you want to go now, are you? |
Azuma: | I would never demand anything that unreasonable. Why don't we go on our next day off? |
Homare: | A recreational drive, you say? A fine suggestion. |
Tsumugi: | I remember the time we all went out for one during the run of our first performance together. |
Hisoka: | ...I wanna go. |
Tasuku: | Can't we wait until after the play's over? |
Azuma: | I want to go before then, so we can improve our performance. You might be able to get something out of deepening our relationships together. |
Azuma: | There's a chance it could also help our interactions on stage as well. |
Tasuku: | I guess you have a point. |
Azuma: | You changed your mind so quickly... You really will do anything for a performance. How cute. |
Izumi: | The Winter Troupe’s dynamics have changed so much. They're heading in a great direction together.) |
Izumi | Even though they're still maintaining their boundaries, their bonds have grown deeper.) |
Izumi: | (All four of our troupes have such different ways of building their relationships with each other.) |
Izumi: | (For the Winter Troupe, they come from different walks of life, so sharing their pasts with one another really benefited them and brought them closer.) |
Azuma: | Of course, you'll be joining us, won't you, Izumi? |
Izumi: | I wouldn't miss it for the world! |
