ACT 1 SCENE 3

Makoto Naegi:
A sensation! No other way to describe it!

Hajime Hinata:
What a relief! Not a single refund!

Makoto Naegi:
Hajime, I think we did a thing with Kiyotaka!

(the men and Byakuya make their way to Kiyotaka's dressing room)

Hajime Hinata:
Here we are, his dressing room.

Byakuya Togami:
Gentlemen, if you wouldn't mind. This is one visit I should prefer to make alone.

Makoto and Hajime:
Bet.

(they both leave and Byakuya enters the dressing room)

Byakuya Togami:
Kiyotaka Ishimaru, where is your purple scarf?

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
Togami?

Byakuya Togami:
You can't have lost it. After all the trouble I took. I was just fourteen and soaked to the skin...

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
Because you had to run to the sea to fetch my scarf. Oh, Byakuya, it is you!

Byakuya Togami:
Kiyotaka.

(they both hug and laugh and taka moves to sit at his dressing table.)

Byakuya Togami:
"Little Lotte let her mind wander..."

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
You remember that too?

Byakuya Togami:
"...Little Lotte thought: Am I fonder of dolls..."

Both:
"...or of goblins, or shoes..."

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
"...or of riddles. of frocks..."

Byakuya Togami:
Those picnics in the attic...
"...or of chocolates..."

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
Mother playing the violin...

Byakuya Togami:
As we read to eachother dark stories of the north...

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
"NoQwhat I love best, Lotte said, is when I'm asleep in my bed, and the Angel of Music sing songs in my head!"

Both:
"...the Angel of Music sings songs in my head!"

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
Mother said, "When I'm in heaven, child, I will send the Angel of Music to you". Well, mother is dead, Byakuya, and I have been visited by the Angel of Music.

Byakuya Togami:
No doubt of it. And now we'll go to supper!

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
No, Byakuya, the Angel of Music is very strict.

Byakuya Togami:
I shan't keep you up late!

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
No, Byakuya...

Byakuya Togami:
You must change. I must get my hat. Two minutes Little Lotte.

(Byakuya hurries out)

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
Byakuya! Things have changed, Byakuya.

(Kiyotaka hears a mysterious voice coming from behind his dressing room mirror)

Mondo Owada:
Insolent boy! This slave of fashion basking in your glory!
Ignorant fool! This brave young suitor, sharing in my triumph!

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
Angel! I hear you! Speak - I listen... stay by my side, guide me!
Angel, my soul was weak - forgive me... enter at last, master!

Mondo Owada:
Flattering child, you shall know me, see why in shadow I hide!
Look at your face in the mirror - I am there inside!

(The figure of Mondo becomes clear in the mirror)

Kiyotaka Ishimaru:
Angel of music! Guide and guardian! Grant me to your glory!
Angel of music! Hide no longer! Come to me, strange angel...

Mondo Owada:
I am your Angel...
Come to me: Angel of Music...

(Kiyotaka walks towards the mirror. Meanwhile, Byakuya returns and hears the voices.)

Byakuya Togami:
Whose is that voice?
Who is that in there?

(The mirror opens to reveal an entryway. Kiyotaka takes Mondo's hand and enters.)

Mondo Owada:
I am your Angel of Music...
Come to me: Angel of music...

(Kiyotaka closes the mirror behind him, following Mondo down the entryway. Byakuya enters the dressing room puzzled.)

Byakuya Togami:
Kiyotaka? Angel?
