Ep 22. Under the mask, the Amazing Resolution

Sora is still reeling from the shock of Layla's sudden departure when she receives an invitation to a mysterious performance by a masked performer. Intrigued, she decides to attend the show with Rosetta and Marion. At the venue, they discover that the masked performer is none other than the elusive Fool. Unlike his previous performances, which were filled with tricks and mischief, this show has a deeper theme and message.

As the performance goes on, Sora begins to feel a connection with Fool and his message of overcoming fear and embracing one's true self. However, when Fool reveals his identity at the end of the show, Sora is stunned. She never expected to see someone she knew so well under the mask.

The revelation leads Sora to reflect on her own journey and her struggles with fear and self-doubt. With Fool's encouragement, she comes to a realization about her own true passion and what she wants to achieve as a performer.

Meanwhile, Layla is on a journey of her own. She's traveled to a remote location to train with a renowned performer and confront her own fears and limitations. As she pushes herself to new heights, she realizes that the only way to achieve her dreams is to let go of her past and embrace her true self.

Back at Kaleido Stage, the other performers are struggling to keep the company afloat without Layla's star power. While some begin to lose hope, others like Ken Robbins and the Flying Angels step up to take on new challenges and keep the audience entertained.

In the end, Sora's experience with Fool helps her gain a new perspective on her own journey, and Layla's time away gives her the strength to face her fears and chase her dreams with renewed vigor. As the season draws to a close, the performers of Kaleido Stage must come together to overcome their challenges and prove that they have what it takes to truly shine on stage.
