ok not 100% sure how to interpret that scene on stage but here's my take - in the story hayden is usually in the position of being a spectator/a member of the audience and NOT the actor (he's majoring as a script writer too even though he was mistaken as an actor before at the party) and we get several scenes where he's always "watching" brett (like at the party, at the football game) where brett feels like a main character and hayden is just watching from the sideline (this is hayden's pov, btw). so i think it's interesting brett is the one watching him from the audience this time and tells him to "do something" ie stop being passive and become an actor instead of an observer!
also interesting that brett says "it's only fair" for hayden to act (might be tied to how hayden has been mostly passive and brett has been the "initiator" of all things) but YEAA i seriously love this story so much. shout out to how the author paces and switches between the scenes it's actually so movie-esque and atmospheric.
