Episode 9 Story

Nakamura finds himself alone, his desire to walk around with Hirose fading into empty hope.

While walking and debating whether to watch the Drama Club's performance after receiving one of their flyers, he accidentally bumps into a woman. Her appearance looks exactly like Hirose.

As Nakamura racks his brain trying to figure out who she could be, Tamura approaches him with a request to step in as a last-minute substitute actor. When Nakamura looks at the stage, he spots the woman he ran into earlier.
