The other teachers are worried that the play will be too edgy, and that the posters will give the impression that they're trying to be provocative. They're also worried about the audience's reaction to the play, so they've decided to just go ahead with the play. They have a month left before the school festival, and they need to find some new members to put on the play . They need to get the word out about the play so people will come to the festival and enjoy it. They don't even have time to rehearse the play yet, and hanataka says he's ready to go. He asks if they'll excuse him from the play if he doesn't want to go through with it, so he can get to it. He's not sure what the play is going to be like, and he wonders what the audience will think of it when they see it. Everyone treats him differently when he acts happy and confident, he says, and now he wants to do something that will make him stand out from the crowd. He feels like he has "that hot boy energy" . He wants to play a part in the play because he thinks it's going to make him "stand out too damn" , and because he wants "romantic ideas" to work into the story . But taka wants the play to be about a virgin who's just had a makeover and is now "lusting after" pretty boys . .
