Hayashi: When I saw the film, I found that Dir. Lee left out a lot of things. Eg, what happened at Sarasa aunt's place. He made you say it through the lines.
Suzu: Yes, there were many parts like that.
Hayashi: Did you read this book?
Suzu: I read it when I was asked to do the project.
Hayashi: Didn't you think it was a little difficult to play the role?
Suzu: I read the book knowing that I was going to play Sarasa, so there were many hints for me to play the role.
Hayashi: The way you read a book in the cafe was really beautiful, and I thought you showed her essence.
(They recapped the dynamic between the 4 characters)
Hayashi: Sarasa and Fumi are like soul twins, and I thought it'd be impossible to separate them. Did you and Tori Matsuzaka-san work together perfectly from the beginning?
Suzu: I started working with Tori-san in the middle of production, but he is very flexible in his sensibilities and acceptance. His brain is so flexible that he accepts anything I do and fits in easily. I thought, "He's the real Fumi!"
Hayashi: I was also surprised as if Fumi came out of the book. He has such a dark and mysterious feel.
Suzu: He's scary. I don't really know who he is (lol).
Hayashi: Your eyes were wonderful. When you're beaten by Ryo, I could see your eyes through the space between his fingers, and your eyes tell so many things. I thought "Suzu has become such an amazing actress."
Suzu: Thank you very much.
Hayashi: And the girl who played Sarasa's childhood (Tamaki Shiratori) looked so much like you that at first I thought you were playing her.
Suzu: Really? Actually, I was told that the way she cried while dreaming was exactly the same. I did not see Tamaki on the set, and she may not know how I cry. So when people around me told me, I thought, "Oh.."
Hayashi: You mentioned that you and Matsuzaka-san started working together in the middle of the production, but isn't it difficult to suddenly bring the tension to that level?
Suzu: Yes. Tori had already shot the scenes with Sarasa in her childhood, so he has experienced his life with Sarasa. I started the scenes with Fumi as the grown-up Sarasa in the middle of the film, so Dir. Lee said to me, "Fumi and you have a temperature difference. Why don't you ask Tori-kun about the time he spent with Tamaki?". So, I e-mailed Tori and asked him about it.
Hayashi: And then?
Suzu: He just replied "I can only put it in an abstract way, but it was very free.". Then, I thought "Free, huh? How broad the world was for these two". Then, I relied on those words.
Hayashi: In this film, there are many scenes of wind, it makes me feel as if I've gained freedom, and I can understand why Tori-san said "freedom".
(About Dir. Lee and Hong)
Suzu: When I saw the first preview, I thought, "Oh no! I am in trouble!"
Hayashi: Why?
Suzu: Tori-san was so wonderful that I was moved and thought, "I'm in trouble," so I ran away and left without giving Dir. Lee any feedback (lol).
Hayashi: That's not true. You gave a wonderful performance!
