*knock, knock*
Banri: Come in.
*door opens*
Izumi: Hey there.
Sorry for this all of a sudden. I have to talk to you about something.
Banri: It’s that, isn’t it? The poll for my side-chara, I mean.
Izumi: Woah! How did you know?
Banri: I figured it was ‘bout time for that.
The project where we’re streamin’ spin-off stories of our side characters…
Has my role been decided?
Izumi: The side character you’re going to play this time as chosen by the poll is…
David from Autumn troupe’s 8th performance, “South Hill Prison”.
Banri: Huh, David… I didn’t see that one coming.
Izumi: Actually, all your roles were popular in the poll. This one only won by a slim margin.
That just goes to show how there are fans of all the roles you’ve played.
Banri: …Yeah, guess so.
Izumi: Tsuzuru-kun has started working on the script already, so let him know if you have any requests.
Alright, I’m going to head back to the lounge. Let me know anytime if you have any other questions about the project.
Banri: Sure.
…Requests, eh?
Where is the script for our 8th play…
*flips open*
Banri: …
-pause-
Banri: …
Azami: …
Banri: …
Azami: …Hey. How long are you gonna stay here?
Banri: Mm, I’m getting a change of pace.
Azami: What’re you talkin’ about?
Banri: I wanted to feel the breeze.
Azami: You’re definitely pullin’ my leg.
Banri: Haha. Alright, the truth is I was just thinkin’ about the spin-off for my role that was chosen in the survey.
Azami: It’s your turn already?
Banri: Yep.
Azami: That’s fast…
Banri: You say that, but it’ll be your turn soon.
Azami: A spin-off, huh… is that what’s givin’ you trouble?
Banri: Are you curious?
Azami: I wanna know for reference when it’s my time.
Banri: That’s not exactly it. Tsuzuru’s the one makin’ the script…
So I’m more worried about the direction.
Azami: What’re you, an honour student? That doesn’t help.
*Siiigh*.
Banri: …Say, Azami.
Azami: What?
Banri: Do you think David’s dad is alive?
Azami: …
Banri: …I’ll change my question.
Do you think David can be saved?
Azami: Um…
Banri: …
Azami: …
Banri: My bad. I asked a weird question.
Azami: …Nah, it’s fine.
Both Shaw and Ren were saved emotionally, weren’t they?
The thing is, although you might not call it a happy ending, the story ended on a redeeming note.
Startin’ with Shaw, everyone that appears in the play is a criminal of some sort…
But that sorta redemption is nice, at least in a story.
…In reality, that stuff can’t be undone.
Banri: Hm… that’s true.
*pats head*
Azami: !
Oi, don’t touch my head.
*Banri leaves*
Azami: The hell, pattin’ my head…
He treats me like a little brother.

Furuichi Sakyo
Falls First: You
Falls Harder: Sakyo
He definitely thinks you’re a little crazy. What’s so appealing about a worn out, money grubbing yakuza like him? Surely it’s not the late night B movie marathons, and certainly not the way he shed tears at the slightest sentimental moments that let you know he cherishes making memories deeply. He held himself at such a distance for so long that his descent was inevitable, it was hard to be a tough guy when one person always managed to wrangle out your hidden affectionate side. But being brave enough to even search for it earned you brownie points, so Sakyo almost felt like he had no choice but to give in lest he create more trouble for himself.
Hyodo Juza
Falls First: You
Falls Harder: Juza
No ones seen him the way you have. Even when he stumbled, or messed up a line, or proved he’s hopelessly awkward when it comes to expressing his feelings, you had never laughed at him. He doesn’t feel deserving of your friendship or admiration let alone your love, not when you had done so much to defend him and more while he simply existed in your world with no clue on how to show you how he felt. He had never understood any of Muku’s romance manga but he was slowly starting to understand what it meant to want to protect someone’s smile.
Sakisaka Muku
Falls First: Muku
Falls Harder: Muku
When a true romantic falls in love an angel gets their wings, as well as there being an extra layer of dedication added into the mix. He’s so specific with courting you right, making handmade crafts or homemade food as presents, wanting to give you everything he could possibly get his hands on. He wanted you to see the best parts of him not realizing that life was not a fairy tale; to truly love a person, you needed to know their flaws as well. Knowing you wanted to love him to the fullest extent possible made his heart stop in his chest, even while he still had plenty of growing to do. He hoped that was an adventure you could make together.
Settsu Banri
Falls First: You
Falls Harder: Banri
Hardly one to fall for a traditional romance, Banri was stubborn as a mule when it came to giving his heart away. For all the flirting he did with you there was still a carefully crafted gap, a purposeful distance, a man who was shockingly considerate of what a relationship with him might do to a person. He had never felt loyalty so strongly like he did to you, the complicated dance you partook in all the more invigorating for him. Finding someone who could match his rhythm, meet him step for step without faltering, was a partner that Banri couldn’t simply ignore.
Takato Tasuku
Falls First: You
Falls Harder: You
You are bold to take on the challenge that is Takato Tasuku. Even more single-minded than Tsumugi, you might have to take more drastic measures to draw his attention. It’s almost like he’s unwilling to see what’s right in front of him, but he wasn’t a fool. He’s not afraid of change either but he doesn’t want to partake in a relationship with impossible standards. He can be thoughtful and display his honest feelings, but you had to understand that he’s human above all else. He’s not the charming prince persona he was forced to play countless times in his Godza days; he didn’t always know what to say, and sometimes he might be too blunt, but it didn’t make the love he felt for you any less real.

Izumi: (David offers a deal to another prisoner to procure the items that Ren requested.)
David [Banri]: “Here’s the deal. If you have a route to the outside, then I’m sure you also have what’s written on this memo.”
Prisoner A: “Ha. You’ve certainly got some attitude askin’ someone for something.”
David [Banri]: “I’m sayin’ it’s a deal. I’m not asking you do to something unilaterally, alright?”
Prisoner A: “Since you’ve said that, you’ve got something to give to me, right?”
David [Banri]: “I’ll pay you the same amount as the last transaction.”
Prisoner A: “The same as last time? That ain’t enough. What about double?”
David [Banri]: “What the hell? Are you screwin’ with me?”
Prisoner A: “So you can’t cough it up? Then I’ve got nothing to say to ya.”
Izumi: (David usually deals smartly, but he was in a hurry this time since he was involved in Ren's prison break plan.)
(Because of that, David got taken advantage of and he grew frustrated.
Suddenly, a photo fell out of his pocket.)
(It was a photo of David’s father.)
Prisoner A: “Huh? What’s this picture?”
David [Banri]: “! Don’t touch that!”
Prisoner A: “Oh, what’s this? It seems pretty important to ya, huh?”
“Or does naiive little David get all wound up when his stuff gets touched a lil by someone else?”
David [Banri]: “You bastard…!”
*punches*
Prisoner A: “Woah!? What, you wanna go!? Take this!”
*punches*
David [Banri]: “Geh!”
*fight continues*
Izumi: (With his competitive nature to begin with, David reached his limit and a huge fist fight ensued.)
-pause-
Izumi: (After a guard broke them up, David calmed down and got his hands on what he wanted…)
David [Banri]: “*Sigh*… geez, that took a lotta extra effort.”
“…?”
“…My picture’s gone.
Don’t tell me during that scuffle just now—.”
Ren [Azami]: “Hey, is this what you’re lookin’ for?”
David [Banri]: “Ren!”
Ren [Azami]: “I picked it up after the throwdown earlier. Here."
David [Banri]: “T-thanks… my bad.”
Ren [Azami]: “…Is that your family with you in the picture?”
David [Banri]: “…That’s my dad. I mentioned him briefly when I took on your request, but he’s in the hospital right now and it doesn’t look like he has much time left.”
“I caused a lotta trouble for my dad.
…I wanna see him and talk with him one more time.”
Ren [Azami]: “…I know how you feel.
I feel the same way, y’know?”
David [Banri]: “Really now?”
Izumi: (Ren sympathized with David’s story that was a bit like his own.)
-pause-
Izumi: (However, a few days later… the news of Ren’s death reached David’s ears.)
David [Banri]: “Ren died…!?”
“I… see…”
“…”
Renato [Sakyo]: “…So that’s what happened, huh?”
“That’s too bad… but you'll get another chance one day.”
*Renato pats David*
David [Banri]: “Right…”
*Renato walks away*
David [Banri]: “…? What the? There’s somethin’ in my chest pocket…”
“Gum…?
Did Renato just do that?”
“Ha… that ain’t like him.”
-pause-
Izumi: (It was the night before David planned to break out of prison with Shaw and the others.
He payed Renato a visit.)
David [Banri]: “You’ve helped me a lot. I dropped by to say bye.
Here’s my thanks.”
Renato [Sakyo]: “Hm. Your thanks is a piece of gum?”
David [Banri]: “I thought it’d be shitty workin’ under someone. But it was surprisingly not that bad.”
Renato [Sakyo]: “Glad to hear that.”
David [Banri]: “Are you sure you don’t wanna leave this place?”
Renato [Sakyo]: “I’ve still got things to do here.
You’ve got your own stuff, don’tcha?”
David [Banri]: “…Yeah, I do.”
Renato [Sakyo]: “This is my partin’ gift. Take it.”
Izumi: (Renato slapped David on the chest and returned the gum he received.)
David [Banri]: “Haha. Well, keep your chin up.”
Renato [Sakyo]: “You too.”
-pause-
Izumi: (After that, David successfully escaped from prison and parted ways with Shaw and the others.)
David [Banri]: “First, I’ll give my dad a call…”
“…Crap. Even if I call from a payphone, I don’t have any coins on me.”
“*Sigh*. All I’ve got in my pocket is some gum—.”
“! No way, why're there coins…”
“…Is this from Renato?
That guy, tryna be cool.”
*inserts coins and dials*
David’s dad: “…Hello?”
David [Banri]: “Dad…”
David’s dad: “…David? Is that you?”
David [Banri]: (His voice is weak, but he’s alive.
…Thank God. I made it in time.)
“Yeah, it’s me.
I’m gonna head over to see you now.”
-pause-
Banri: …Ah, hey.
I know this is sudden, but I’m gonna come over for a visit this weekend.
Huh? Why the phone call? …Just ‘cause. See ya.
*hangs up*
Izumi: Are you going home over the weekend?
Banri: Yeah. I’ll send a LIME in the group chat later, but I won’t need any food this weekend.
Izumi: Sure, got it.
Banri: Aight…
Oh, I’ve already gotten messages on my socials.
Izumi: You also got some fan letters.
I’ll leave them here, okay?
(…Banri-kun’s concentrated on reading his messages and fan letters.
I won’t interrupt him.)
-pause-
Izumi: ! You’re here, Sakyo-san?
Sakyo: I was gonna enter the lounge.
But I felt like I would’ve interrupted if I did.
Izumi: You don’t have to just stand here and watch…!
Sakyo: …He’s sincere, isn’t he?
Izumi: Yeah.
I’m sure Banri-kun knows better than anyone that the fact he can stand on stage is because he has fans who believe in him and support him.
Banri-kun didn’t say it, but this role was chosen by his fans…
I think he considered his fans more than usual when he performed his play the other day.
Sakyo: Yeah, I think so too.
Izumi: (I feel more and more excited to see… what kind of performances Banri-kun will show us in the future.)
