Kana then goes on to note that becoming successful in the entertainment can similar to a betting on the roll of a dice. Kana also informs Aqua that she received an offer to be casted as an old B-Komachi actor who hated Ai "so much," asking him if it's okay with him for her to say nasty things about his mother.
