Summary[]
The first show of Tokyo Blade has reached its end the curtain closes with thunderous applause. After the show, Yuki, Nobuyuki and Kengo go to see Akane. The three of them start praising her performance and call her a genius. Their compliments flusters her but she thinks that she still has some way to go to catch up the like of Taiki or Kana. She then starts crying as she states she wants to get even better while Ruby watches on from a distance.
Ruby then goes to see Kana, who expresses that she is completely exhausted after just the first performance. However Mem-Cho reminds her that they still have a video to film together at the office. A downbeat Ruby then points out Kana is no idol but a great actress and a genius in acting. Kana is glad by the sudden compliments but after brief pause, she denies being a genius because she seen true genius at work. It is easy to pretend with exaggerated acting on stage... She then briefly reflects on Akane's acting, which was out of this world and impossible for her to replicate. Nonetheless she vows to come out on top by the time the run is over.
Outside, Kaburagi has a catch-up with Kindachi over a smoke break. They talked about the production as well as the improvements demonstrated by the actors involved. Kaburagi believs that Kana possess a certain star quality while Kindachi has previously thought Akane has reached her peak but she seems poised for further growth. Thus the curtain falls but the next story is about to begin.
