So… author is setting Rei up to be full-fledged actor?
I know he’s being recruited to backstage, but other context clues are pointing that way.
He doesn’t know what to do for a future.
He likes pleasing people.
He’s handsome.
He’s been putting up a facade whole day, everyday for who know how long.
He will get to act on stage for real soon.
And he will get to see people getting happy from backstage, too.
Him getting impressed by acting career and wanting to change university to something about acting will solve all these. And even though he enlisted himself as backstage, there’s no way the production team will let him be there. He’ll wound up front of the stage eventually…
Yup, that’s my prediction.
