Summary[]
It is Akane's opinion that Kana simply matching her acting to those around her is not befitting for someone of her abilities. And as they cross their swords on stage, Akane gracefully shows off her acting ability on the stage. In Kana's mind, even though every actor is supposed to be equal in this scene, it is clear that Akane is the leading actress.
Subconsciously, Kana understands the message Akane is trying to convey: she wants to compete or share a dance. Kana finds the proposal enticing but as she is about to go all out, painful memories of her past failures start flooding in. Remembering how she who lost jobs because she outshone everyone, she retreats into the shadows to let Akane take all of the spotlight. Gotanda analyzes Kana's actions and concludes that she has done it for the betterment of the show and it makes her such a useful actor on projects. Kana also affirms that she has done the right thing by supporting Akane, enhancing the play. Akane on the other hand is not satisfied because Kana is denying her the opportunity to face off on equal grounds.
During the break, Akane is beating herself for the way things went. Aqua is also displeased with the outcome, stating that Kana is at her best when tries to draw everyone's attention, but Akane will definitely win the way things are going. However, Akane wants to beat Kana at her best, so together they plan draw out the best from Kana.
