Trouble occurs in Kana
Around that time, Kana sees Ruby and Akane’s progress and becomes increasingly impatient with the current situation where she is not getting more work as an idol or an actor. Unexpected trouble arose due to her nervousness and limited vision. Thinking it would lead to a job, she was photographed by a reporter from a weekly magazine as she went in and out of the home of a famous film director.
The beginning of the “final chapter”
As the release of the weekly magazine approaches, Aqua finally plays the “forbidden card” in order to avoid Kana’s flames and take her revenge to the next step. He announced that he and Ruby were Ai’s illegitimate children. The world’s attention was focused on the beautiful story of “twins who overcame tragedy and carried on their mother’s aspirations,” and Kana’s article never made it into the world.
Although she succeeded in protecting Kana, she “exposed Ai’s most important lie”, which caused a huge rift between Aqua and Ruby. Still, I have no hesitation with Aqua. Using everything around him, he prepares for his “final plan” to take revenge with his own hands.
At the request of Ai when she was still alive, Aqua enlists the help of Director Gotanda, Ichigo, Kaburagi P, and others who were filming Ai’s true appearance for B Komachi’s documentary film. Production of a true-life film based on Ai’s incident begins.
“Individual audition” to decide the role of Ai
As production preparations for the true-life film “15 Years of Lies” based on Ai’s incident progress, opinions clash over who will play Ai. Mr. Kaburagi recommends Shiranui Frill because he values numbers, and Director Gotanda recommends Ruby because it can increase the resolution of the eye.
Although Frill had received the script, she sensed that the production team was still having trouble casting, so she summoned Ruby and Akane, who had been cast as Ai at the beginning of the project. He tells them that they will have an acting competition between the three of them, and that they will hold an “personal audition” to convince them that this person is suitable for the role of Ai.
Ruby was not very enthusiastic about the audition at first. However, he changes his mind after hearing from Frill and Akane that “Aqua is making this movie for revenge” and that “the most important thing for the work is to be able to incorporate Ai’s will into her acting.” Ruby firmly declares that she is the one who understands Ai’s feelings the most and can get her revenge. Seeing her tenacity, Frill and Akane decline the role of Ai, and the audition ends. The role of Ai was decided to be Ruby.
Unexpected “reunion”
The role of Ai has been decided, and the production of “15 Years of Lies” has finally begun. Meanwhile, Aqua meets an unexpected person at a staff drinking party. That person is Marina Tendoji, the mother of Ruby’s previous life Sarina Tendoji. She is someone Goro (Aqua’s previous life) hated so much, not only because she rarely came to visit Sarina in the hospital, but also because she never showed up even when she was dying.
Aqua tries to find out what she thinks about her family. In response, Marina shows off a photo of her smiling birthday being celebrated by her daughter and son (apart from Sarina). Aqua is shocked to see her smiling happily as if she has completely forgotten about Sarina.
