    Today was the day of the drama class to show their play. Louis was excited to show himself as the grim reaper but his broken ankle was getting worse but he won't let it stop him.

   Legoshi was helping Leon review when to move or change the lights at the right moments of the play and Leon understood what to do. After one more rehearsal, everyone got ready and headed to the backstage of the auditorium. As they got ready, Leon noticed Louis was in pain as he walked to the dressing room. Leon wanted to talk to him to see if he's alright but Legoshi took him to the lightning catwalk before he could do anything.

  In the dressing room, Louis was wrapping some bandages around his ankle to soothe the pain. The teacher knocked on the door and said, "Hey Louis it's time to start. Are you ready?"

"Yeah I'm coming." Louis answers as he puts on the Grim reaper mask and walks out to the stage. Ellen was waiting for him and was worried since Louis had been walking weird and was hiding something. The auditorium was easily getting filled by the students that wanted to see Louis perform. Everyone was excited about it.

   Leon moved the spotlight in the right place as the curtains started to open. Louis did his performance with Ellen as it was doing well. Everyone in the audience was amazed by it. After the act ended, the curtains finally came to close and Louis begged for them to close in time.

"Yes. I did it. I did it. They are clapping, please close the curtains...."  He said.

Just then....

THUD.

   He collapsed on the floor and everyone gathered around.

Meanwhile...

   Haru was trying to head back to the dorms while avoiding her bullies since she stole a boyfriend from one of them earlier. She then saw Leon and Legoshi walking out of the auditorium.

"Dude he had a broken ankle this whole time. Why would he do that to himself?" Leon asked.

"Hey didn't want to miss out on the part he was in. He wanted all the students to cheer for him at his performance." Legoshi explains.

"I see." Leon says.

  While they were walking back to the dorms, Legoshi sees Haru and said, "Hey Leon, I'm going to go see someone real quick."

"Oh sure that's fine, um do you like that rabbit?" Leon asked.

"What?! We're just friends." Legoshi says as he looks away.

"Whatever man, see ya." Leon says as he heads back to the dorms.

The next day, Louis had to rest after his leg was fractured and the drama club had to find a replacement as the grim reaper in the second act. Leon wanted to but they all decided Bill will be mostly fit. Louis decided to let Legoshi help Bill on a fighting act.

"You've been doing great on the lights, let's see if you can do a fighting act." Bill says.

"Well I'm not much of an ath...."

Legoshi gets interrupted when Bill swings his wooden sword at him. Legoshi swung back at him and Bill blocked it.

  It started to get intense and looked like they were actually fighting.

"Are they actually acting?" The teacher asked.

"And venting too." Dom said.

  They both were going at it and they finally stopped. Leon was confused at first and he felt like something was personal between them.

Later

   As everyone headed to the auditorium to get ready. Legoshi had a weird scent and had a feeling it was Bill as he headed to the restroom.

"What's wrong with you? Are you in love with me, Legoshi?"

"You're drinking rabbit blood!" Legoshi confronts

"Yeah so what?!" Bill shouted.

"What's going on?" Leon asked as he came in.

"Nothing. We were just having a talk." Bill asked

Bill leaves with a smirk. And Legoshi was angry, until Leon asked, "are you alright man?"

"Yeah. Come on. They are going to start soon." Legoshi says as the headed back to backstage.
