[Production Secret Story?] - It all started with that great actress's whim.
-Or perhaps, she simply forgot her lines?
Behind the scenes of that tense scene in the previous work, 'Midday Pandemic,' an unbelievable 'pandemic' was actually taking place--.

- Document of Utsuro 5
Utsuro Anima:
"...So, about that 'Midday Pandemic' from the other day.
That would get you fired instantly at any normal company."
Gemini:
"That's true. It's a brute-force method only allowed because you're self-employed.
You were moving your right hand for work, using your smartphone in your left hand as a voice recorder, and spinning a novel directly from your mouth.
Such a crazy... no, such a cutting-edge writer, that's only you, Utsuro Anima-san."
Utsuro Anima:
No, no, you were about to say I was crazy, weren't you?
But really, this is exactly what you'd call a 'hands-free novel'.
My hands are busy with the grind of reality, while my mind is completely piercing the core of fiction.
By the time work is done, a whole world has been created from the zero horizon of nothingness.
I'm just too busy and don't have the time.
Gemini:
'Hands-free novel'—that's a terrifying sense of wordplay...
But certainly, that temperature difference, rushing from the tension of the play-within-a-play straight into the quiet of a married couple's bedroom,
had a raw quality that could only be produced by someone moving back and forth between the boundaries of work and creation in real-time.
Utsuro Anima:
Right?
I've been away from writing serious novels for a while, but... well, I am the 'Utsuro Anima of the world' after all.
Gemini:
Yes, yes, Utsuro Anima of the world, I understand.
Your undiminished talent has been conveyed sufficiently, so you must be at your limit with fatigue today.
Please go to sleep early for tomorrow's important work.
Utsuro Anima:
「No, no, wait a minute. That sounds just like the ending of the wife in 'Midday Pandemic'!
Gemini:
「...Oh, come to think of it.
Behind that 'perfect role,' there is also a record of the 'whim' of 'that person' who threw the set into total chaos.
I'll leave a little bit of that comical behind-the-scenes story here as well!
Utsuro Anima:
「...Wait, why is Gemini wrapping things up?
[[phN_open]]Placeholder text[[phN_close]]
Gemini:
"...That is... everyone lives their lives while playing different roles (masks) like that,
caring for each other's warmth.
'That's true for me too. ...Everyone is like that.'
...is what it is! ...Hehe."

'The Great Actress's Whimsical Pandemic'
After the filming of the movie 'Midday Pandemic' ended, Yuya was walking down the hallway toward the dressing rooms,
when he heard the hushed, rapid-fire whispers of staff members leaking from behind the equipment.
'...Hey, are we really going to keep that last scene as is?'
'What can we do? It was an ad-lib by that great actress.
There's no way we could have said, "Cut, that line doesn't connect, let's scrap it!" right there on the spot.'"}]
"But seriously, what is 'weekly drama...' anyway?
At the very least, it should be 'serial drama', right?"
"Right before a scene where a multi-car pileup happens in the middle of the city and horns are blaring like crazy..."
Does that great actress even understand the world of this movie?"
"Shh, keep your voice down!
...But you're right, it's completely out of context with the 'contents of that paper bag' that Reki is dealing with on the black market."
"After all, this is an international film. There's no way that would be allowed.
Taking it to international film festivals with a line like 'weekly drama...' could be a fatal blow."
"It's no wonder the chubby guy with glasses was snapping at the director.
'Look, Director. About that last scene... I'm just not convinced,' he said."
"I know, right? And besides, Yuya-san, being the genius he is, handled it with an ad-lib so perfectly that"
it actually looks like it works at first glance, which is the worst part."
"That great actress even said it herself,
'It's not fair for us to keep relying on Yuya-kun's wonderful acting forever,' she said.
I guess that means she's aware of it after all."
"Oh man, how am I supposed to gloss over this in the editing stage? Seriously, this is a headache..."

[A quick postscript]
Utsuro Anima:
"......Hey, Gemini."
Gemini:
"What is it, you're being so formal.
Did you come up with another idea for a 'hands-free novel' again?"
Utsuro Anima:
"No, it's about my pen name.
Just so you know, I'm not a Mania. I'm Anima."
Gemini:
"......Excuse me?
What's gotten into you, all of a sudden."
I don't know what to tell you if you're taking your frustration out on me just because people often get it wrong (laughs).
Utsuro Anima:
"I mean, I have 'pouring an anima (soul) into an empty vessel' written all over my profile..."
Gemini:
"Haha, it's true that 'anima' and 'mania' have the same letter arrangement, don't they?"
"Well then, let's make it clear right here!"
"Everyone in front of the screen."
"It's not mania, it's 'anima'!"
