Duck. I shot it on the Tone River.

Don't you like it?

I'll k & \[ n ...

I wrung its neck,

but it wouldn't die.

It stared up at me

with its white eyes.

I just suddenly remembered that.

Buckshot.

Sorry, I'll fire the chef.

That isn't necessary.

It's rather good.

Excuse me.

Where's the bathroom?

Tamawaki

Birds for Sale

Good morning.

What time is it?

It's 10:
00.

You had a lot to drink last night.

I'm sorry.

My bird got in here somehow.

You're so funny when you're asleep.

Like this.

By the way,

a messenger came from Mr Tamawaki.

Thanks.

You can have your breakfast anytime.

Is it the same room?

It can't be.

Beans!

Delicious beans for sale!

- Going out?

- Yes, I'm going for a walk.

What's Mrs Tamawaki like?

Don't ask me.

Don't you know?

I was his maid

before he went to study in Germany.

He got married after he returned.

I wasn't working for him then.

He didn't let you see her either?

I hear she's beautiful.

Did you want something?

Sorry. I was mistaken.

Are you looking for someone?

You look like her from behind.

Only from behind?

What about my face? My hair?

Who is the more beautiful?

Me or her?

Please don't put me on the spot.

I wish you would say.

I watched you

from the hospital window...

...when you were talking with her.

Who do you mean?

That lady.

I:

Do you know her?

Who? Who do you mean?

Who are you talking about?

Wait, Miss. Wait.

Call me lne.

I'm Tamawaki's wife.

It's me.

That was close!

I mistook you for a bird.

- Why are you coming in the back way?

- It's a personal visit.

Still chasing that dream?

I thought you were

going to kill me.

M m?

Birds are stupid.

I shoot them,

but more still come.

In front of the hospital...

I meta lady

named lne Tamawaki.

I thought perhaps

she was related to you.

- You spoke to her?

- Yes.

Strange.

I'm told she's seriously ill.

How was she?

Her hair was clone formally.

She had a parcel and a parasol.

As if she was going out?

Or visiting the hospital.

Are you sure?

She called herself Mrs Tamawaki?

I was led to believe she's dying.

I'll go and see her.

A dying woman out with a parcel,

how interesting.

Let's go.

- Are you here to see Mrs Tamawaki?

- Yes.

I'm afraid she passed away

three hours ago.

Sorry I couldn't get in touch

with you sooner.

I called earlier,

but no one took my call.

When I called back,

you'd already left.

Perhaps your wife's spirit

directed you here.

She passed away

at 11:
07 this morning.

Where's her body?

As you instructed,

it was sent to Honganji Temple.

She didn't suffer?

She was combing her hair

just prior to her passing.

I saw her shortly after noon.

The sun was shining

and vapour was rising.
