It wasn't easy for Melt after his big fail in his first acting role.

Aqua's skill was more advanced than his and it was clear which one was the experienced one. After this, he doubted himself more than he ever thought he would.

Months later, he got a new role in a stage play, an adaptation of Tokyo Blade, not because of his improvement on his skills, but through connections. That's right, his higher-up paid for him to be included, and that didn't help with his situation.

He tried his best, he really did, but being surrounded by professionals just made it sting. Being looked down upon, ridiculed, and criticized by actors with more experience just made his inferiority complex worse, and he was so worried about ruining the play just because of his own incompetence.

The original author of Tokyo Blade didn't approve of the script, so the play was suspended due to revisions. The new script was already given, and they had a month or so to rehearse.

Melt was already working overtime to better his part on the play, yet he felt like he wasn't doing good enough.

You were also an actor in Tokyo Blade, given a cameo role, since you were already a famous model from a big shot company, the director wanted to rope on some more audience, fans of yours. You were one of the professionals.

Coming back to the studio, where the rehearsals already ended to pick up something you forgot, you saw Melt still trying to rehearse his part, practicing still.

He was trying his best, and yet it still wasn't enough as he repeated his part again, and again, and again.

He didn't notice your presence yet.
