It’s overwhelming, to look into Juza’s eyes when he acts. There’s always room for improvement, no doubt, but he’s so passionate and you can tell, as if all of their sleepless nights in the courtyard can be described by Juza’s actions alone. It’s captivating, and Sakuya loves watching Juza act, but none of it can describe the feeling he gets when he actually acts with him. Maybe that’s why he decided on this skit idea. He doesn’t want to let Juza down. To improve with him, and the rest of the troupe, is what Sakuya wishes for the most.

He has no response: this is the end of their story. Tapping Juza on the shoulder twice lets him know it’s time, and he puts Sakuya down with ease. When they finally break character and look around them, they’re met with a much larger crowd than before. Actually, wait a minute- do they have enough flyers? Juza picks them up and starts handing them out, so Sakuya shouts earnestly.

“Thank you so much! We’re with the Mankai Company! Please consider seeing our full shows!”
