Story
When she moves in the same apartment as Maya Kitajima and Chigusa Tsukikage, Rei becomes a waitress in order to earn a living. She is very supportive when Maya gets a part in a film, and then in several theater plays. When her friends and her get to play "the stone's smile", she is both an Italian scoundrel and a pretty lady. She's really surprised when she discovers that Maya will play only a doll. That shows that she really believes in her friend's talent.
