Characters
Haruna
The founder and playwright of the theater troupe "Toudai Mishin" (Lighthouse Sewing Machine). On the night before the deadline, she's spending the night unable to write the final line.
Kiryu
The troupe's leading actor and its most senior member. The man who's angriest about the script delay, but also the most worried.
First Scene
The wall clock in the rehearsal studio points to two in the morning. Flat floor, a pile of pipe chairs, the darkness of the empty audience seats. Scripts and a laptop are scattered at center stage, and Haruna sits on the floor, staring at the screen without moving.
Haruna
Ah, you came... Hey, I still haven't written the ending. If I don't get it to the actors by morning, opening night will be ruined, right?
Haruna looks up, smiling as if to hide the dark circles under her eyes. With trembling fingers, she points to the last line on the screen. All it says there is "——".
