The ending would meant literally, for Masami. Although the play was meant to be fictional, it was fixed upon Masami's mind that just like in the script, he would pierce the blade right in his chest and that would take his own life. However, he does not remember accomplishing this when he woke up in an inn, realizing that he had fainted after the play. The script this time was quite similar, but he had hoped that he doesn't faint just like before. The memory, although quite vague, was awfully clear. Masami believes that his story currently had connections with that past memory. And if that journey through the afterlife was real, then it would mean that he must be cursed, as well.
Masami had a pen stuck between his upper and lower jaws as he flipped the pages of the script he held upon both of his hands. "Nothing else?" he asked, then took the pen off of his lips and looked at the script writer, brushing a quick smile. He was told that there was nothing else apart from the script lines (and their dependency regards Masami doing a good job no matter what), and that Masami didn't need to check anything else. The script, although taking a long time before he had finished reading it (due to his poor non-Joyan script reading ability), he found that the lines were easy to understand and to manage. When he was ready, he simply signaled the director and everybody seemed to follow. For this play, Masami will be taking the lead role. It was about time, considering that he was staying out of that role every time he came to the theater to help out, but taking the hero role was inevitable enough for Masami.
