6 6 301 Director Sigh... 1
7 7 301 The director wants to scold Changyu, but all he can muster up is a sigh.

11 11 301 Changyu replies and looks around the theater. Laoyu is sitting at a table off to the side with Yusheng, who he had not seen for some time.

13 13 301 1 Changyu ...Yusheng! Where have you been all this time? 1
14 14 301 Changyu perks up with a smile, surprised at the sight of seeing a familiar face after so long.
15 15 301 Yusheng I had some family matters to attend to, so...
16 16 301 Yusheng rubs his fingers. His once immaculate white hands are now wrapped in bandages.
17 17 301 Yusheng You're back just in time. I wanted to bid you all farewell.

19 19 301 Changyu Farewell? Where are you going? 1
20 20 301 Yusheng Didn't you hear what Lady Qu said? The Corrupted are coming. I'm going to fight on the frontline.
21 21 301 Changyu Why? I saw some people walking towards the port. Shouldn't we pack up and board the ship together? 1
22 22 301 Hearing Changyu's response, Yusheng shakes his head.
23 23 301 Yusheng After listening to the whole speech in the plaza, I choose to believe in Lady Qu.
24 24 301 Changyu Huh? You buy into this whole "will of Kowloong" thing? 1
25 25 301 Yusheng It's my own decision. Lady Qu left the choice to each of us.
26 26 301 Yusheng The ship is not suitable for my sick wife. Staying in the city to participate in the Tabula Akasha is more suitable for us.
27 27 301 Changyu Tabula Akasha? What's that? Forget it. It doesn't matter. So, why are you going to the frontline? What about your wife? 1
28 28 301 Yusheng She's waiting for the Tabula Akasha to begin, but that's going to take some time.
29 29 301 Changyu So you... 1
30 30 301 Yusheng Yes. Someone has to do it, just like Lady Qu and the others.
31 31 301 Changyu Director, try talking some sense into Yusheng. 1

35 35 301 1 Changyu What are you doing, Director? Why are you just standing there...? Are you also planning... 1
36 36 201 1 500229
37 37 301 1 Director ...Yes. I made my own choice as well... I don't want to board the ship and run away. Nor do I want to join the Tabula Akasha. I'm staying here in the theater. 1
38 38 301 Director I can't do something like abandoning my body and living in some machine. 1
39 39 301 Director All I can do is stay with the theater left to me by my ancestors. 1
40 40 201 1 500230 5
41 41 301 1 Changyu ...In that case, I'll stay here too! 1
42 42 201 1 500229
43 43 301 1 Director Quit kidding around! Go upstairs and pack your things. Laoyu, go take Changyu to the port. 1
44 44 301 Laoyu O-of course.
45 45 301 Director You're still young. You shouldn't give up your life like the rest of us. 1

47 47 301 1 Changyu I'm old enough to fight! 1

50 50 301 1 Director Now's not the time to act up! 2
51 51 301 Changyu If you're staying to fight, then count me in! After the war is over, we can continue running the theater. I just finished repairing the props we'll need... 1
52 52 301 Director Changyu, if you really have grown up, then quit being so naive! 2
53 53 204 1 14
54 54 301 Director I didn't have the heart to say it, but I sold the theater a long time ago. That's why Yusheng was able to take his wife to see a doctor. 2
55 55 301 Director But who could've imagined something like this would happen before she was cured. 2
56 56 301 Director You are just a child. You can't possibly understand the cruelties of war—we might not survive. This is the last time we'll ever see each other. 2
57 57 301 Director As the director, I appreciate your dedication to the theater... But some things in this world can't be paid back. 2
58 58 301 Director We are just a footnote in the history of Kowloong. We are constantly pushed forward by the flow of time. 2
59 59 204 1 21
60 60 301 Changyu Enough! 1
61 61 301 Changyu I just don't want to lose everyone. I want things to go back to normal. You always treat me like a child and make decisions for me. But have you really asked what I think?! 1
62 62 301 Director This is for your own good. 2
63 63 301 Changyu Yes, I know. It's for my own good. I know I've only ever been a child in your eyes. 1
64 64 301 Changyu But I'm still a member of the Kowloong Theater! 1
65 65 301 Changyu Why didn't you tell me anything? I can help! 1
66 66 301 Changyu begins to shake with anger, but his eyes remain firm with conviction.
67 67 301 Director Changyu...

70 70 301 A sudden explosion outside the theater interrupts their conversation. Hearing this, Yusheng gets up from his seat.
71 71 301 Yusheng We're out of time... I need to get going. Care to see me off?

76 76 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin The room falls silent. Yusheng smiles and walks toward the gate of the theater as Changyu and the others follow him out.
