First of all, Laura should be killed by the male protagonist. Because we can clearly see that there is a flashback of Laura's death in the male protagonist's memory from the first act, and combined with the last female costumer's statement that Laura committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathroom, but the male protagonist's memory flashes There are almost all pictures of Laura dying in the middle, and there is a scene where Laura is lying on the ground. Also, aren't all wrist cuts usually cut horizontally, but Laura's wrist is cut vertically, which I think is a bit unusual.
The first conclusion I got after reading it was that Laura was killed by the hero, but what made me wonder is why she was killed by the hero. Later, I thought about the former, Tony, who was the original male lead. He said that one of his competitors (male) was still something, and he sold his body to get another role in the theater. And his chronology doesn't seem to be disrupted in this episode, so Laura's death is almost a few weeks after the male lead became a stuntman. He was completely famous, before tony met him 19 months after he was crippled. I'm thinking that his acting for Tony is just a stepping stone to his fame. His real fame may be because he sold his body, and because he wants to sell his body, maybe Laura knows about it or his sponsor doesn't He would kill her if he wanted to, probably because of impulsiveness.
So the female costumer, the woman who likes him madly, may have noticed that he killed his ex-girlfriend because the male protagonist killed him on impulse, and he didn't take care of it afterward, and then he forgot because he felt too guilty. The female dressmaker helped him clean the scene so she could take Laura's engagement ring. In the end, the female costumer said that she was just a stuntman and didn't know when she would be able to play. She also reminded the male protagonist Laura to "cut her wrists in the bathroom to commit suicide", which might be threatening the male protagonist, "I know you killed her, so you'd better talk to the male protagonist. I am together".
One thing I still don't understand is that I don't know how to explain the flashbacks of these memories in the hero's head, because they conflict with the timeline. The "memories" of the male protagonist should not include "the future". So I wonder if this is just an imagination in the male protagonist's head, a play.
