Amisaki Michiru Street, South District, Elffire City.
Ishii was making dinner for him and his grandma.
He had a silly smile on his face since he got out of the audition earlier.
The young man was a little nervous about his chances of getting the part, but he chose to be optimistic about it.
He performed his best and did everything he could, now he only had to wait to see if his efforts were enough to get the part.
Ishii finished the simple food he cooked after a while.
He made rice soup with vegetables.
The meal was simple, but it could fill them.
And most importantly, his grandma had to eat light food, so he could not make anything too strong or spicy.

Shortly after, he arrived in the living room of the apartment where an old lady could be seen watching TV.
"Grandma, dinner is ready!" He exclaimed with a brilliant smile when he stopped next to her.
Miyata Koichi was 77 years old.
She had an aged face and white hair.
But if one looked closely at her, one would notice that she must have been a beauty when she was younger.
She only had one son that she was forced to raise by herself because the father ran away.
She was a strong woman who did not fear the hardships.
She raised her son to become a strong man.
Her son grew up and married a lovely girl.
The two of them made a beautiful couple, and Miyata was proud of the man her son had become.
And she became even happier when the couple gave her a grandson.
But it was then that a tragedy happened.
Her son and daughter-in-law were killed in a car accident.
Miyata was devastaded.
The son she raised with the love she could give was taken from her.
But even though she was destroyed inside, she was still a strong woman.
Because she had to raise her grandson alone.
She had to raise someone all alone again.
But she never complained, but although she was strong, she was getting old.
And throughout the last years, her grandson became a man and passed to take care of her instead.
She did not have much strength left, but her eyes were filled with love as she saw him smiling at her.
"Son, why so happy today?" She asked with her aged voice.
Ishii sat down beside her and started to feed her as he recalled what happened during the day.
"Grandma, you're not gonna believe it!"
"I did another audition today! And I performed well. I think I have a real shot at taking the part!" He exclaimed with an excited face as placed a spoon filled with soup in her mouth.
"Now you may ask what's the difference between this audition and the others? If I pass this audition I will not perform in a theater where my crowd fear can act up. I will perform in front of cameras! I can finally realize my dream!" Ishii explained excitedly.
"Now let me tell you how everything went. I got there super late I thought the audition had already finished but it didn't. Then they told me..." Ishii proceeded to tell in detail what happened.
Miyata just listened as she took the food he was giving her.
Their conversations usually went this way, she did not have much energy to keep talking for long, so Ishii usually did the talking.
She looked at her grandson with pride as he told her how the audition went.
She always supported Ishii in whatever he wanted to do.
Miyata just wanted to see him happy.
Ishii finished telling the story at the same time that the soup in the bowl was completely eaten by Miyata.
He was about to say something when he heard his phone ringing.
He did not think much and answered, "Hello?"
"Ishii Koichi? This is from the production you made an audition with earlier. I am calling you to inform you that you passed the test. We are expecting to see you tomorrow at..." the female voice informed him everything that he needed to know.
"Yes, thank you, thank you. I will be there." He replied with a dull voice.
"Bye." He said with a flat tone of voice.
He was a little lost.
He never expected that he would get the news so soon!
He got the part!
"What's the problem, son?" The aged lady asked in worry as she saw him paralyzed after the phone call.
"Grandma, I got the part!" Ishii exclaimed loudly when he heard her question.
He sat beside her and gave her a big kiss on her cheek.
Ishii could hug her too tightly, but he still gave her a gentle hug.
Grandma Miyata had a happy face when she heard his words.
She could not be more proud than she already was.
He let go of her and started dancing happily around the room to celebrate.
Grandma Miyata was smiling widely looking at his silly antics.
"I always believed in you." She said softly.
While the male lead of the music video got the news, the female lead also received the news.
Helena was in her bedroom.
She arrived at her house some hours ago, and she has been inside her bedroom ever since.
Even when her mother called her if she wanted some snacks she had not exited the room.
It could not be helped.
She was too nervous!
Even though she was confident when she left the coffee shop about getting the part, what if something happened?
What if someone better than her arrived after she left?
Or worse, what if the bastard from the acting association messed with her chances to get the lead role again?
Therefore, she has been watching TV series to distract her mind.
She saw the actors on the screen and dreamed to be one of them someday.
She was dreaming about these things and trying to distract her mind from the nervous thoughts when the door of her room was abruptly opened.
A beautiful middle-aged lady entered.
She had a stern look as she entered.
"MOM!" Helena said indignantly.
"I told you to knock before entering!" Helena exclaimed as she saw her mom looking at her.
"Watch your tone, young lady. As long you live under our roof, you cannot complain about these things." Luzia Lobo stated with a motherly tone of voice as if she knew better than Helena.
Helena was fuming, but she knew better that it was a lost cause arguing with her mother.
"Dinner is ready. Be there in five minutes." Luzia informed as she looked at the messy room of her daughter with a judgmental look.
Helena saw that her mother was looking at the mess.
She knew then that she had to organize and clean her room later or the big boss would not leave her alone.
"Okay, okay! I will be there!" Helena exclaimed exasperatedly as she pushed her mom away from her room.
Luzia just chuckled as she saw her daughter's behavior.
She thought it was so fun to make her daughter speechless.
Even though the two of them behaved like that.
Helena loved her mother more than anything.
And she was not ashamed to admit that her mother was her best friend.
Helena sighed tiredly as she organized her room a little before going downstairs to have dinner.
Their family lived in a decent and beautiful two-story house in one of the middle-class neighborhoods.
Their family was relatively well off, so they did not have a problem sustaining themselves.
Helena arrived at the dinner table where her mother and a middle-aged man were already seated.
Rui Lobo was a middle-aged man who came to the Sakura Abode with his wife when he was just a teenager.
And their story in the new country was a successful one.
He and Luzia worked in big companies and were respected there.
He loved his wife and daughter more than anything.
"Hey, little girl!" Rui exclaimed with a brilliant smile when he saw his daughter.
"Hey, dad!" Helena exclaimed with a smile too as she took her seat.
"Dad, mom entered my room without knocking again!" She complained as she stole a glance at her mother.
"Hmm, leave it be, baby girl." He said as he also stole a glance at his wife.
He loved his wife too much, but he also was a little afraid of her.
It was not needed to say who called the shots in the house.
Luiza was their real boss.
The middle-aged woman just giggled when she saw them behave like that.
"Let's eat!" She said as she put some potatoes on her plate.
The other two nodded and started eating too.
They were having a lovely dinner when Helena's cellphone ringed.
She stood up and walked by the side to answer.
The two parents were curious as they saw Helena's antics.
"Hello?" Helena answered with an excited face.
"Is this Miss Helena Lobo?" a female voice asked over the phone.
"Yes, this is her." Helena replied.
"I am from the production of the audition you did earlier. I am calling you to inform you that you passed the test and got the role. We will need you here at this address tomorrow to..." The female voice said everything that Helena needed to know.
"Yes, thank you. I will be there!" Helena replied before the call was ended.
At that moment she could not hold back anymore.
"I did it!" She shouted happily as she started jumping around the room happily.
The two middle-aged were in shock as they saw that.
They looked at each other and they seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"Has she finally..." Rui started.
"...lost her mind?" Luiza finished the sentence.
And like that the two actors in Theo's music video were informed that they passed.
Would they be able to stand out in this project?
