KAITO
<Tsukasa, shall we rehearse the proposal scene again?>
KAITO
<It's a pivotal point of the play, so we need to get this part just right.>
Tsuksa
You're right! Perfectionism is the mark of a true star after all!
Rui
Okay. I'll be your partner for this scene.
KAITO
<Kneel down while holding the sword in your right hand behind you and your left hand raised imploringly.>
KAITO
<Good, just like that. Now say your lines.>
Tsuksa
O Juliet! Sun of my life! I beg you, allow me to have your hand in marriage!!
Rui
Romeo... Then refuse your name and I shall swear my love!
Tsuksa
Sweet Juliet...!
KAITO
<That was great! I think you're ready for the show.>
Tsukasa
Thanks for your help, guys! I'm going to stir up a whirlpool of emotions in the hearts of the students here... No, in the hearts of the whole world!
Nene
I think you're a little out of touch with reality...
Tsukasa
Oh yeah? What makes you say that!
Nene
I gave the script a read thinking a parody of Romeo and Juliet might be fun, but all you've got here is a bunch of fight scenes and weird plot twists.
Nene
How can anyone feel moved by this?
Tsukasa
You just don't get it! Seeing nine Romeos battling it out to the death to prove their love is going to be a gripping spectacle!
Rui
Oh, I love that scene too. Desperate to win the heart of their beloved Juliet, the Romeos mercilessly slaughter each other one after another.
Rui
Blood gushes left and right to the accompaniment of agonized screams. And yet, the audience is unable to contain their laughter.
Rui
I think it's wonderful that we can make a comedy out of this tragic story about a fatal fight for love.
Tsukasa
Huh? But I wrote this as a tragedy, not a comedy...
KAITO
<Hahaha...!>
Nene
Oh, I didn't realize it was so late... I need to go help out at the class stall.
Nene
You better get ready too. Your show starts soon, and since I'll be starring in it as well, I'd like to ask you not to make a complete disaster of it.
Tsukasa
What?! My performances are always top quality!
Rui
Hehe. It's just Nene's way of saying she cares, Tsukasa.

Mizuki
I think this is the classroom where that weird laughter was coming from.
Mizuki
(Oh, wait... Is that Rui?)
Mizuki
(The others must be his classmates. They seem like they're having fun.)
Mizuki
(Rui's expression seems a lot softer than it used to be...)
Mizuki
(Oh, I get it...)
Mizuki
(He's managed to make some good friends.)
Mizuki
Hehe. Maybe I should leave them be...
Mizuki
This class is doing a haunted house! The decorations are really good!
Mizuki
(I bet it would give Ena the creeps. Mafuyu doesn't seem the type to get spooked by this sort of stuff though.)
Mizuki
(As for Kanade, I wonder... I kind of want to see what she's like when something startles her...)
Mizuki
(Wait a minute, why am I thinking about them right now?)
Mizuki
(Maybe deep down, I'm just craving company...)
Mizuki
(It'd be fun to have Ena here... But with her taking night classes and all, I bet she couldn't be bothered...)
Mizuki
(I could call Kanade or Mafuyu, but I can't really picture them being very enthusiastic about it...)
Mizuki
(I could call Kanade or Mafuyu, but I can't really picture them being very enthusiastic about it...)
Student A
Shinonome, don't forget your shift starts at three.
Akito
No worries, I'll be back in time. See you then.
Mizuki
Shinonome...?
Mizuki
It couldn't be...
Toya
Sorry for the wait, Toya.
Toya
It's fine. I just got here too. What's your class's theme? A haunted house?
Akito
Yeah. But I'm just the receptionist. What's your job for today...?
Toya
Selling cotton candy. It's not just regular cotton candy, but really fancy ones. Making them is actually more fun than I expected.
Akito
Oh, right. You sent me a picture earlier. But I still can't imagine you making them.
Toya
By the way, Akito. There's something I wanted to see today. Want to come along?
Akito
Which thing? What is it?
Mizuki
(That guy's name is Akito Shinonome... That has to mean...)
Mizuki
(I may be wrong, but I'm gonna say hello! He gives off the same sort of vibe too so!)
Mizuki
Hey, you there!
Akito
Hm?
Mizuki
You're name is Akito Shinonome, right? Any chance you're Ena's little brother?
