Wow, there's so many people here!

This theater group is very popular, you know.

They say the play we're seeing this time is really good, too.

Oh? I'm looking forward to it. It's about a team of explorers, right?

Yes, it's about a team of explorers searching the jungle for hidden treasure.

Wow, sounds fun! Thanks for inviting me today, Shizuku.

Hey, that's my line!

I'm delighted that I'm getting to see a play with you.

I'm looking forward to the story, of course, but I really want to learn from the actors' performances.

You said you'll be playing the role of an exploration team in the next drama club play, right?

Yes, I really want to keep an eye out for things I can use in my own performances.

Oh, looks like it's about to start.

Okay, let's chat once it's over!

Okay!

[Fade in/out.]

*Sigh* That was wonderful!

The performances were great too. When they were about to be attacked by wild beasts, I felt like they were really right in front of me.

Yes, the way their voices trembled and their eyes darted around really heightened the tension.

It's important to immerse yourself in the role, but it's really important to act in a way that helps the audience imagine things that aren't really there, too.

I'm going to bear those things in mind as I practice for my next play.

I'm looking forward to your play all the more after hearing that, Shizuku.

Thanks. I'm think I'll start practicing as soon as I get home!

Go for it, Shizuku!

I will! With you cheering me on, I feel like I can do anything!

I hope you'll look forward to my play. I'll have a special seat ready just for you.
