Ura: Well, Nagi and Reio clearly refuse match-fixing (lol).

Shimazaki: I was thinking, “Kiyoshi, isn’t this a report of director misconduct?” (lol).

Ura: It was one scene that made me realize how a line that is commonplace in the TV series can be interpreted in such a different way just by changing your perspective.
