Jack: Im back! Take this!

Jack tosses the bag of food to Legoshi.  He catches it as Jack and I go down to the drained pool.

Jack: That's an egg salad sandwich and soy milk. Of the own sweeting kind.

Legoshi: Thanks.

Jack and I sat next to him.  Leaving Legoshi between us. Before I sit down, I dry the pool bench which has a bit of water with my sleeve.

Jack: Legoshi. You called not going to the cafeteria at the kiosk today.

I take a bite out of my bagel and nod.

Legoshi: I knew it.. How did it go?

Jack: Uh.. let's just say you're little improv last night made the front page of the newspaper. Everybody bought one.

Wait .. Improv?  He ... Does he think that everything was acted out?

Legoshi: The front page? You serious?

Jack pulls out the newspaper he bought and shows the front page.

Jack: Ooh yeah!

The front page image shows Louis between Bill and Legoshi, where Bill seems to smile as if nothing had happened and Legoshi shows a nervous and somewhat sympathetic smile.

I see Legoshi look at the image with surprise and shock.

Jack: It's a great picture huh? Bought myself a copy as well!

Jack shows a bright and happy smile.

Jack: It says.. "Birth of a Dark Hero!"

He emphasizes the title of the newspaper.  I'm curious, why does he think that was all acted?

Y/N: Do you think I could take a look at it?

Jack: Yes, sure!

He lends me the newspaper so I read the front page.

BIRTH TO A DARK HERO:

Adler is a play that has become a classic for us. However, the drama club took an unexpected turn and took us by surprise by changing the ending of the play.  Which led to success.

Louis - the one who plays Adler - was interviewed and asked about what the purpose of this was. So he said that this was as a way to show young students the complexity of the world and that there are no rights or mistakes, only faith in yourself.

"The world we live in today is very complex, we all tend to hide, suppress. And fight each other constantly as we try and live our lives.-"

As I read I listen to the distant chat between Jack and Legoshi, although I don't pay much attention to it.

"—Theres no right or wrong. But as long as you live with a true conviction. You're valiant to shine and stand out. So even when you're rough or coarse. As long as you have conviction, that is the message, this two successfully portrayed on that stage". -Louis.

Wow, that red deer, is very cunning and skillful with his words. It seems that Louis managed to convince everyone that this was part of the performance. I pay attention to the boys again as I chew my bagel again.

Jack: Legoshi. Did you let the rage die down?

Legoshi: Rage?

Jack: Yeah of course, that tussle last night wasn't an act. Duh.
