Summary[]
As everyone gets ready to film the next scene for The 15 Year Lie, Kana recounts Nino's history: real name "Fuyuko Niino", she was a founding member of the original B-Komachi and served as the group's center until Ai joined, after which she gradually lost her fan-base to the latter. Kana notes that Ai actually stole all of her co-stars' fans, causing them to likely all have complicated feelings toward her. However, Nino's were by far the strongest, being obsessed with Ai to this day.
Cut 57: "Ai and Nino's Farewell"; Nino confronts Ai in the dressing room and proclaims the latter to be lucky, admitting that she is no match for her and stating that she wishes that she was her. In response, Ai claims that she is actually the one who wants to be like Nino but the latter interjects that she is lying, arguing that Ai is superior to her in all categories. While Ai casually denies this, Nino calls her out for always dodging important conversations and accuses her of not even being interested in her as a person. As Ai once again denies this, Nino snaps and throws a tantrum, screaming about how her efforts fail to bear fruit despite practicing harder than anyone.
In her mind, Kana believes that, while she cannot comprehend the present Nino's feelings toward the long-deceased Ai, she perfectly understands how Nino felt in this moment, comparing her relationship with Ai to the one she has with Ruby. However, as Ai responds to Nino's tirade by just warmly smiling at her, Kana asks her whether her co-star was not her friend before she became the object of her jealousy and admiration. In the end, Kana believes that Nino's fight with Ai was just an ordinary spat between friends and, had it been anyone else, she would have wanted to patch things up. Nino then screams at Ai that she hates her and wishes she would die before storming out of the dressing room. In Kana's mind she notes that Ruby's acting was good and to not worry about herself since she will be fine.
Before the movie staff can mark the end of the scene, however, Gotanda intervenes and keeps the cameras rolling. Suddenly, to the shock of everyone present, Ai throws the glass she was holding at the door Nino just left through and begins crying. She then has a mental breakdown, angrily asking herself what she did so wrong and stating that she hates everyone.
