I'm guess this whole game is just a flashback for Jun because Chapter Two begins with him waiting on the roof alone for someone. But who? He contemplates which is harder, waiting or letting others wait. He blames his predicament on the play he's written. If it wasn't for the play then he wouldn't be regretting his affections that have come to light.
He reminisces back to early summer when it all started. Jun had come to the nurse's room in Moulin Academy in order to pick up his older brother, Takumi. This is where/when we meet Dr. Kanzaki, the school doctor that had been taking care of Takumi in the meantime. Dr. Kanzaki continues his discussion with Takumi about him doing drama during the summer as an extracurricular activity. Takumi declines to participate as he has no talent for acting but what Dr. Kanzaki really needs is for someone to write the play at least. This is where Takumi gets excited because he knows the guy for the job. He suggests Jun to write the script for the play because he was studying stage production back in France.
Dr. Kanzaki considers it and asks Jun to please write the script for them. As Jun ponders whether it's okay for him to do it, Takumi assures him that this would be a great opportunity for him and that he'll assist him if he says yes. Jun's heart beats faster at the thought of being able to help someone. Dr. Kanzaki gives Jun some more time to think it over but in the meantime they make handmade posters to hang around the school together in order to recruit some actors. Lots of people see the posters and start applying. Dr. Kanzaki gets excited and thanks Jun for his help. The excitement from Dr. Kanzaki drives Jun to finally accept the role of writing the script of the play.
The next part of the chapter has him, Dr. Kanzaki and the actors at training camp. In the training camp Jun will continue to write the play, 'Run, Melos!', and rehearse alongside the actors. The next day is the start of formal rehearsal and everyone is dressed in their toga costumes.
Roles:
Jun: Selinuntius
Dr. Kanzaki: Melos
Yota: Tyrant / Anarch
The rehearsal of the play begins with the Narrator (heroine of Love Academy) quoting Melos' anger at the vicious Tyrant. Melos wants to get rid of the Tyrant so he sneaks into his castle alone with nothing but a small dagger. But he gets caught by the Tyrant who just laughs at him. Melos calls the Tyrant out of his cruelty but the Tyrant tells him to shut up. No one, no one he says can understand his loneliness in his heart from living in a world with only lies, betrayal, and despair.
The Tyrant sentences Melos to death the next morning which Melos is ready for. However, he wants to show the Tyrant what it means to understand and trust someone. He asks the Tyrant to give him three days. In those three days he'll head back to his village to hold a marriage ceremony for his sister. He swears to him that he'll be back by the end of the third day and to prove that he really will come back to his death, he offers his one and only true friend, Selinuntius as a hostage for the Tyrant to hold while he is gone. If Melos doesn't come back then the Tyrant has the right to kill Selinuntius. The Tyrant still doubts him for who would be such an idiot to accept being a hostage. But the Tyrant agrees to Melos' terms anyways because seeing him kill his closest friend in three days time would make him feel good too.
