Four people are dead - and they'll come back, as far as I know. They're not like Uchiha-san or Shiks, who...
[who are already gone.]
But it's causing a lot of suffering... and I don't like that no matter how much I run around, no matter how many people I talk to, the game isn't over yet.
[The look she gives him is both sympathetic and fond.]
It was already pretty obvious you have higher standards for yourself than for everyone else. I think you just... Need to get out of your own head. Which is way easier said than done.
To be honest... I miss being on a stage. I miss performing for people, and making them laugh, and watching them enjoy themselves with the story I'm telling.
You said you don’t need music, so... If you want to perform, there are a ton of things you can do that won’t break the rules, right? And you’ve always got an audience.

Okay. So you’re blaming everyone else who hasn’t fixed this, either?

[and he turns to her with a tired look]
I know what you're going to say. It doesn't make sense then - if I'm not blaming you, or Bakaomi, or anyone else, then why am I blaming myself?
... but I guess it's because I'm the only person I can control. And that means I feel guilty, even if it doesn't make sense.
And not being able to control everyone else is part of the problem in the first place.

Maybe we should do another face mask.

Is that the only thing you do to relax?
no subject
I play video games too? Things like that...

Do all of your performances involve music?

Then come on. There might not be a stage, but there’s a dance studio, right?

Hm? What are you planning, Zo?

You don't have anything better to do, Zo?

[She tilts her head towards the door for a moment, indicating that they should leave.]

Okay - got a preference? On a scene? If it's something I know we can find out if I can do it from memory.
