When the SPR team is called to investigate a haunted theater in a small town, it's hard to tell who's acting, who's playing, and who's paying.
When Noll loses a bet to his brother, he enrols in theatre class against his wishes and better judgment. As a rookie, he never expects to get a big role in the upcoming school play. However, Professor Takigawa has other plans for him and now Noll is stuck playing Mister Darcy in their Pride and Prejudice play alongside none other than Mai Taniyama, the only girl on his mind.
Mai had never seen this coming. She took steps to prevent this, and yet, there were other plans already in motion. So, she took the necessary steps to prepare. Pep-talks became her best friend, books held stories that told her what to do, what to look for, and when to apply certain behaviors or emotions. What she didn't know, she learned along the way. It had already taken over.
Three years was a long time to try and hold her makeshift family together, but Mai had done her best. But the team had experienced more downs than ups, and no one was the same, except, maybe Naru himself. He asked her for her help pulling the team back together, but can seven people who had gone through so much really go back to the way things were? And did Mai really want to?
After 4 years of not seeing Naru, Mai has had plenty of time to focus more on school and her future. Top of her class, and graduating from a university early due to outstanding grades has put Mai on a high pedestal. Fast forward to the present, she is currently the 'Oliver Davis' of Japan, and one of the most talented and powerful ghost hunters. What happens when Madoka hears?
