Justine said:
The movie is has 5 conversations in total:

1. Conversation between protagonist and her master about killing a man.
2. Between protagonist and master, how she was not able to kill him and will now have to kill her cousin.
3. Between master and Protagonist's mother, how the protagonist finished training and will return home.
4. Protagonist's mother gives a gift to protagonist from her master and then talks about it and tells a story about a man. The conversation is 1 sided as only the mother is talking.
5. Protagonist and master, how she will not kill her cousin.

Although the Bechdel test can sometimes be unclear on how to rate a movie, in my opinion this movie doesn't or barely passes the test.
