MEGUMI GOT DISQUALIFIED FROM THE CONTEST
(Megumi's Dad)
What did you do?! You're such a failure! Look what you've done! You're an ungrateful brat!
Megumi
I'm deeply sorry, dad.(WITHOUT EMOTION)
(Megumi's Dad)
Sorry your face! I've taught you enough and yet you still did this to me!! You're such a useless daughter! (PUSHED MEGUMI)
[ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEATS]

Look, she's being abused by her father.(WHISPERS)
Stranger
The poor little girl got an abusive father.(WHISPERS)
Megumi
(BUMPED ONTO THE EDGE OF THE WALL) (HEAD BLEEDS)
Miss Takane
Enough of that! She's bleeding Hatsuruki!
(Megumi's Dad)
That's what she'll get if she did not do any good at her contests.
Megumi
*TRYING TO HIDE HER TEARS* (RAN AWAY) (THREW SOME PAPERS TO HER DAD)
[TAKANE BROUGHT MEGUMI'S DAD IN THEIR CAR]
Miss Takane
There's no point in hiding your tears like that. It's your fault, you scolded her in front of many people, and you also said hurtful words.
(Megumi's Dad)
*TEARS FELL DOWN* *LOOKING AT THE PAPERS HER DAUGHTER THREW*
Miss Takane
What's written in that paper?-- (SAW A DRAWING OF A FATHER AND A DAUGHTER) *SIGHED* Look---
(Megumi's Dad)
I don't have much time left. What will she do if I dīe? Will she be able to cook for herself? Can she do her laundry? Will she sleep in time? I... I want her to be successful before I leave. I want to see her perform.... again. (SOBS)
Miss Takane
(KNOCKS ON THE DOOR) Megumi? Are you still awake? Can we talk? Megumi? (HEARD A CRYING VOICE) (WENT INSIDE MEGUMI'S ROOM)
Megumi
*CRYING* H-help... please, help me.... Please help... *SOBS*
Miss Takane
M-Megumi? What's the matter? (TRIED TO PAT MEGUMI'S SHOULDER)
Megumi
(STARTLED) No! Please don't hurt me! I will do better next time! Please... I won't mess up. Just... don't hurt me. I can't hear them… But... I will.... I will try my best! Don't hurt me! (PLEADING TO TAKANE)
Miss Takane
(SHOCKED) *TEARS FELL DOWN* Megumi... Don't worry, I mean no harm to you. I won't hurt you. I just want to talk, calm down. *SNIFF*
Megumi
*SOBBING* Wh-what is... it?
Miss Takane
Actually... Maybe you should rest first? We can talk about it tomorrow right? (WIPED HER TEARS)
Megumi
N-no... say it now, pl.. please.(SOBS)
Miss Takane
Are you sure? Aren't you tired? We can talk about it tomorrow. its nothing important tho.
Megumi
T..tell me, I-- I'm not tired.
Miss Takane
Okay then. *SIGHS* Actually, it's a favor. C-can you... do me a favor?
Megumi
Yes... y-yes... what is it? (CALMS DOWN)
Miss Takane
W..(SIGHED HEAVILY) Will you perform the lullaby your dad… uhm your dad used to sing when you were younger...?
Megumi
Wh..what? Why? it's obvious that he's mad at me. And aside from that... I can't perform anymore.
Miss Takane
Ah- I see... Just take your time... But... Why is that? And are you alright? You're obviously crying when I went in.
Megumi
Y-yeah... I.. Guess I'm fine. (AVOIDED THE FIRST QUESTION)
Miss Takane
Oh. Okay then, let me take you to bed now. It's already late at night, you sleep now.
Megumi
Thanks, Miss Takane. Night.
Miss Takane
Good night, young lady. (CALLED SOMEONE ON THE PHONE)
