I wish your audition every success

I killed

I killed grandpa

Goodbye

I killed... I killed my grandpa

He says Mako will graduate soon

it's time to consider marriage

Yes, mom

No, I can't be your stand-in

Mom

- Mom...

- Don't

- Mom...

- I killed grandpa

Suddenly I feel I can't go on living

I must die at once

Take the knife out of grandpa's body

like this

I closed my eyes and

cut my wrist like this

at this moment I heard mother's voice

Then I...

thought I wanted to see mother once

before I die

Mother

End it here

Thanks

The tea is ready

Sorry, call the ambulance, quickly

What's the matter?

What happened?

What's the matter with you?

The doctor said the baby is okay

This is great

The doctor said you shouldn't dance

or you'll have a miscarriage

Of all times to be painful

during the audition

what a troublesome kid

and he stays in me and wouldn't leave

I am determined to give birth to him

and change his character

I have the answer, I'll marry

Finally

We must issue the schedule

for Tragedy of W

The first show will be in Osaka

May it please Mr. Abe to

announce the actors' list

Before that

let me explain

the requirements of the play

and the meaning of its title

The letter W has two meanings

W stands for Wazizuke family

as well as for women

This is a tragedy of Wazizuke family

It is also a women's tragedy of love

And the players?

Don't play your part

in the usual mystery drama style

I hope the acting would be more

humanistic

Right

Let me announce the players now

further to the audition

This is incredible

I will do my best

You'll also be the prompter

and backstage girl

It'll be my privilege

That's the list, please do your best

You're back

It's for you

What is this?

You had a successful audition?

To celebrate your becoming a star

Stop fussing

I didn't pass the audition

why did you think I did?

You know nothing about play acting

Don't presume, alright?

You are mocking me

saying your interest is acting
