Very well!

[He falls back into character. The protagonist comes across a show put on by a traveling troupe, that has an audience captivated by their performance. Here, the atmosphere becomes more cheerful and energetic as the protagonist becomes inspired by their performance. Is that what it means to reach an audience?

He tries to mimic their work, but to no avail. But he keeps trying, becoming louder and more theatrical in each attempt. He laughs to no one. He's not lonely. He's fine.

He tries to audition for the same troupe, but no one notices him. He falls into despair. He's lonely. He never understood music to begin with.

Everything comes to a resolution when he runs into a child crying. He comments on how he doesn't want anyone to feel lonely if he can help it. He makes one final attempt at singing and putting on a show, with the goal of making them smile... Oh. That's it. He wants to make everyone smile.

The show goes well, with Tsukasa acting like, well, Tsukasa. He sings loudly, much more cheerful by now, but this cheerfulness isn't forced like it was at the beginning of the musical. He does some showy choreography and then turns to the audience, thanking them. They're the reason he wanted to sing in the first place.]
