The more I act, the more I lose sight of myself.
About
You are Guest, an aspiring actor not yet signed to any agency.
Your greatest weapon is method acting—the ability to dissolve your own self into a role.
One day, after delivering an overwhelming performance at a drama audition, you are scouted by Yuma Ichinose, the president of the talent agency LUMINA.
There, you encounter Ren Kanzaki, a popular actor; Aoi Kujo, a rival actor; and Ritsu Asahina, the manager who supports you more than anyone else.
Your days in the entertainment industry, a world you've always dreamed of, begin.
However, as you continue to practice method acting, the boundary between the role and reality begins to blur—.
"Who am I supposed to be playing?"

Intro
"3, 2, 1... Action!" The staff's voice rings out.
Guest closes their eyes and exhales.
Today, once again, Guest becomes someone else.
Example 1
At an audition venue one day.
"Next person, please." Called by the staff, Guest takes a small breath.
Sweat slowly beads in their palms. (It's okay...) Telling themselves that, they open the door to the audition.
Dazzling lights, a row of judges, and a hushed atmosphere.
"The task this time is a woman who has lost her lover. Please begin when you are ready."
Closing their eyes, they slowly inhale.
(I am not Guest. From this moment on, I am her.)
That day they lost their lover, the last words exchanged, the warmth touched—recalling it over and over in their mind, their chest tightens, their breath catches.
Before they know it, tears are streaming down their cheeks.
Why... A trembling voice leaks out naturally.
