It was Sunday, the day of the exam. When I opened the curtains, I was greeted not by the sun, but by a dark sky shrouded in clouds. The weather forecast, pointed out by the lady I saw on TV every morning, indicated it would clear up in the afternoon. I watched it out of the corner of my eye while eating breakfast, then went about my morning routine as usual. I dressed in my uniform and put the fox mask Nagisa had entrusted to me into my school bag. "Well, I'm going to watch, so do your best, okay?"…-

It was the Friday before the exam, which was now just a few days away after regular practice sessions. Nagisa and I were heading to the costume room in the practical training building for a fitting for our exam day outfits. "It sounds like we just have to pick from a few options, so it probably won't take too long…" (Nagisa) Nagisa murmured, staring at the screen displaying the notification that had apparently been sent to her, the exam group leader. "Well, there's no set exit time, so maybe we…

"Alright! Let's watch the rest! The rest!" (Akari) Akari, having finally extricated herself from between my legs and moved to sit next to me to watch the phone, clapped her hands as if to change the atmosphere that had settled in the room. …I could tell she was trying hard to meet my eyes, but her focus was clearly off. "Really, I'm sorry…" (Yuuto) Seeing my childhood friend looking so obviously different from usual, my guilt intensified. "No, no! It's totally fine!? Totally! Yuuto's like a…

"Hey there! Coming in!" (Akari) After I managed to get home safely without Aida-san pursuing me any further, around 8 PM, Akari opened the front door without even ringing the doorbell and barged into my room. "Ring the doorbell, at least…" (Yuuto) "Eh~? It's Yuuto's house, so it's fine, right? Even if I rang, you'd probably just say 'Come in~' in a lazy voice, wouldn't you?" (Akari) She lowered her voice, perhaps conscious of me, but even if Akari, who had one of the higher voices among…

"Mornin'! Yuuto!" (Akari) "Morning." (Yuuto) The next morning, I met up with Akari in front of the elevator, just like always. Yesterday, my exchange with Nagisa continued until about 1 AM, so I was a little sleep-deprived. I truly, from the bottom of my heart, envied those so-called short sleepers. "Mornin'~ Akari." (Nagisa) "Oh! Nagisa! You're able to go to school this early today?" (Akari) "Yep." (Nagisa) Just as we were waiting for the elevator to arrive, Nagisa came out of her…

For the past week, we’d been practicing for the exam every day after school, but today, practice was off due to Nagisa’s work schedule. Apparently, she wouldn't be home until around 10 PM. Being an active actress sure is tough. Like it was someone else's problem… though it actually was someone else's problem, I thought, savoring my first evening free after dinner in a long time. Normally, I’d read, but for some reason, I decided to watch a movie starring my father. "He really is good…"…

"Alright then… I came here expecting something pretty terrible, to be honest, so don't worry. You've never acted before, right?" (Nagisa) "Nope. Not at all." (Yuuto) Time passed, and it was Monday after school. We had gathered at Nagisa’s house after dinner. Initially, we planned to practice at my house, but when we saw Mom already in my room with a penlight before we even started, we quickly changed the venue to Nagisa’s. "First, as a premise, there will be a lot of audience members, and…

Sunday, the next day, was set aside for reading through the script, with practice for the exam—or rather, Nagisa’s acting coaching for me—to begin on Monday. I read through the script, further solidifying my image of the actual performance. That Sunday passed without any particular incidents, and the Monday that followed was also normal until the after-school acting coaching… Or so it should have been. Souma, who had sharp ears, had naturally gotten wind of my participation in the exam…

"Leave the narrator to me." It was about an hour ago that I’d confidently declared that to Nagisa just before she left. Nagisa had gone home before noon to concentrate on adjusting the script. In the first place, the plan was to ask a first-year from the Voice Acting Course to be the narrator, so as long as they had a certain level of skill in reading a script, that would be sufficient. A narrator who wouldn't be fazed by a large audience and could speak clearly and articulately. I’d known…

Saturday morning the next day. It was the time I’d usually have to get up if I were going to school. But even at that hour, I lay in bed, savoring the holiday. And that blissful time was supposed to last until just past 9 AM. "Yuuto, how long do you plan on sleeping?" (Nagisa) "…Why are you here, I wonder." (Yuuto) As I was pleasantly drifting in a light sleep, Nagisa entered my room. "It's fine, isn't it? Yuuto's mother, the owner of the house, gave me permission." (Nagisa) "The…
