#but truthfully

They said it got easier,

And the weight lifted,

When you dust yourself off,

After rolling in the mud,

Mixed with ash and snot.

I think the wall is slowly but surely being torn down. It’s still hard but I think I found out what is going on... 

Engeki Haikyuu Summer Week Day 1

Some highlights from the event:

Those who attended were given cheering balloons, and Kenta commented that the noise of the balloons was much more muted than the usual sound of applause.

It’s the first time that Engeki has ever done a showing of their plays like this, and Kenta told the audience that they’d be setting the standard for the rest of the week.

Kouhei noted it’s the first day of their first time running a movie showing of their first show, and so they brought out everyone who’s been around since the first cast.

When they did their greetings for the ending segment after the showing, they repeated their characters’ moves from the opening sequence.

The audience was many times more excited than they could have imagined.  

Kenta admitted he’d love to tour the first show again, but also admitted that if they did that now it would be something completely different.

The AiiA 2.5D Theater, home to Engeki Haikyuu Summer Week, and the theater that played host to their first performance, will be closing at the end of 2018.  

Kenta said, “It’s too bad we can’t do it again here,” then playfully threw out a suggestion for putting on a Suga Musical for AiiA’s closing ceremony lol.

1. Rook and Bishop look so happy together.

Rook has his hands on Bishop's shoulders and Bishop is giving not one but two thumbs up. They don't need to act tough, they don't need to be serious, they can finally be their silly, goofy selves. And they are loving it.

2. They're on the tv.

Not only have they created a better life for themselves, they've become successful enough to appear on television. They aren't trying to hide away, they are putting themselves out for the world to see.

3. They're talking into a microphone.

After spending years being ignored and mistreated, their voices are finally being heard, probably by thousands of people. I'm sure they have lots to say.

4. They are dressed like Layton and Luke.

Rook and Bishop don't need to wear their uniforms anymore, they can dress however they want. The fact they're choosing to dress like Layton and Luke suggests that they admire them and aspire to be like them.

5. Layton is watching them.

Hershel was the one to help convince the pair to leave Targent for a better life. I'm sure he's very proud to see how successful they've become. In turn, I'm sure Rook and Bishop would be honored that he's watching them.

6. Their relationship has blossomed.

After they left Targent, Rook and Bishop did not have to stay together. The fact that they chose to shows how much they care about each other. They're no longer just work partners, they've become best friends and are happy just being together. *cough*gay*cough*

7. They're still wearing sunglasses.
