The room buzzed with energy, the atmosphere thick with ambition and the underlying tension of competition. Aqua sits in a corner, reading his script. Akane, Mei, and Koyuki stand near the entrance of the room. Melt, Kana, and Taiki sit by the wall. Mitano, Ryouma, and Kiiro standing near the prop weapons.

Just then, Sumiaiki Raida, the lead-producer, entered the room, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

Raida: Alright, everyone! I want to see passion and energy from all of you! This play is going to be something special, and I need you to give it your all!

After hours of practice, Sumiyaki Raida calls for a break, everyone moving about.

Akane: Ah.. It’s nice to have a break. She says, leaning against the wall next to Mei,.

Mei: I know right? She yawns, resting her head against the palm of her hand.

Melt walks over, taking a seat near the wall. He wrapped the towel along his neck, sighing slightly.

Melt: I just hope lunch is soon..

Sakuya places a cold can against Melt’s face, causing him to flinch.

Sakuya: That could wait for later, maybe after you gain some talent.

– 12:20

Toshiro Kindaichi, the director, walks into the building.

Kindaichi: Alright, everyone. Food is ready for those who want some.

Most of the actors make their way over, Sakuya, Mei, Koyuki, Rio, Kiiro, and Melt all get themselves a plate. Others, like Aqua, Kana, Akane, and Ryouma didn’t grab any.
