I think he might be taking a break from theater for a bit. While he's at the Akademiya it feels like he's not trying to attract too much attention to himself, or he seems a bit focused on studying/writing his essays. It's so funny he's doing historical stuff and his source is just himself.

I feel like he'd enjoy watching more theatrical stuff, which is funny because it puts him in a similar situation to what Furina is in right now.
