Synopsis
During the performance of the school play, Bill finds himself playing his role of Adler, but without managing to surprise a disappointed public who expected to see Louis. This causes Bill to slowly succumb to the pressure. Legoshi furious enters the scene prepared to punish Bill. While Bill continues to dictate his lines, Legoshi interrupts him by striking him with a strong blow, which leaves all the spectators in shock. While Bill remains motionless in surprise, Legoshi continues to beat him brutally. No one in the drama club has the courage to try to stop it. The overwhelmed audience does not seem to distinguish the fight from a performance. After receiving several blows, Bill stops Legoshi and holds him between his arms.
