/A week later/

/Wonder stage/

Tsukasa
Nene hasn't been here ever since we lost Emu

Rui
She must be pretty sad...
I tried to talk to her, but it wouldn't budge

The autopsy said Emu died of lead poisoning

Rui
(Lead is actually sweet, so it perfectly blends in with the taste of the candies)
(Whoever put the lead in the candy knew that perfectly)

Tsukasa
Rui?

Rui
I'm not completely sure
But I feel like someone is trying to eliminate all four of us
Emu is dead, they have scored their first goal
Lead is sweet to the taste, the killer knew this perfectly and used the candies to poison Emu because lead's flavour blends in perfectly with the taste of the candies

Nene suddenly shows up

Nene
I'm sorry for running away...
I just couldn't accept the fact that Emu died...

Tsukasa
Do you want to go to the cafe with us later?
Saki going to be there with her friends, she would love to see you

Nene
Yeah, we've talked before
Saki's just like her...

Rui
(Here it is)
We should be careful though, someone is trying to eliminate us

Nene
You think so?

Rui explains the autopsy and how lead works

Nene
So that's what you're thinking
I'll be careful then

Tsukasa
Great, let's start practicing then

Nene
But is it possible without... her?

Rui
I tried writing some scripts for shows without her, and that took about... 10 attempts?
I worked on this the whole week
My point is, since we have one less person in our team, scripting and planning has been a lot harder

Nene
Alright then
Let's start
