ALT Miller: Shirahama-sensei, have you already decided how the story will end? Shirahama: Yes. I have the general outline in mind, but I decide how we get there flexibly as I go along, depending on the circumstances at the time, what's happening in society, and the direction the story itself is taking. But as for the ending—where the story is ultimately headed—| do have an overall plan. I know the conclusion, the goalpost that I'm heading toward, but exactly how I'm going to get there remains to be seen.

ALT Miller: Rena, what kind of preparation did you do for the audition? Motomura: At the time of the audition, I read everything from the original manga that had been published up to that point. As I read, I tried to absorb my own sense of what Coco's voice would sound like, as well as her overall personality and the atmosphere surrounding her, so that those qualities would come naturally to me.
