One day, Hinako returns from school to find a letter from her mother. In it, her mother says she'd be visiting Tokyo to see Hinako acting. But Hinako is worried that she'll get nervous and freeze up like a scarecrow if she knows her mother is watching, not to mention she hasn't appeared on a stage since the culture festival. She even gets embarrassed just being seen working at the Hitotose coffee shop. Then she finds out about a stamp rally event planned in the shopping district, and she suggests having their troupe perform at Hitotose for it.
I haven't even been in any real 
performances since the culture festival...
لم أشارك في أي أداء حقيقيّ
...منذ المهرجان الثّقافي
Seit dem Kulturfest hatte ich keine
echte Aufführung mehr gehabt.
Además, no actúo
desde el festival escolar.
Además, no actúo
desde el festival escolar.
Et puis, je n’ai même pas rejoué
depuis la fête de la culture.
E poi, dopo festival scolastico,
Eu não faço nenhuma atuação de 
verdade desde o festival cultural...
Да и с культурного праздника 
я нигде больше не выступала...
