Revue[]
After Shiori's difficulties with rehearsing her role as the Chariot and Michiru's argument with Akira over whether Akira should aim for the "Unknown Lead," they begin their Revue. Shiori declares her intentions to become the "Unknown Lead" and defeat "that person" (Tamao Tomoe) in order to remind Fumi of their childhood promise to become Frau Platin and Saphir together. In turn, Michiru says that, as the "Grand Chancellor," she must take the "Unknown Lead" role for Akira, despite Akira's lack of interest. Shiori slips into her role as the Chariot and returns Michiru's attack with unexpected strength, giving Shiori the advantage in their fight. As Shiori reflects on the effort she's put into upholding her promise with Fumi, Michiru says that Shiori no longer displays the brilliance of jade but sapphire's brilliance instead. Still playing the Chariot, Shiori threatens to destroy everything ahead in order to reach her and Fumi's stage, but she collapses from overexerting herself. Regardless, Michiru recognizes that Shiori, by acting with her own desires in mind, has more brilliance than herself and drops her own cloak to let Shiori win. Michiru talks about how, by looking too far into the future and not acting for herself, she has died as a stage girl. Though Elle and Andrew are surprised by her action, Michiru's forfeit is accepted and Shiori becomes the winner of the Revue.
