Description | "C'mon! Hang in there!" said the soldier in a tearful voice. He had to yell at her or she would have passed out. Her hair had been turned so curly as if it were a perm, and her small eyes, lacking eyebrows, made her look like O-jizo (guardian Buddha). But looking at her when she told her hometown, "It's Seno," I realized she was a beautiful human. It was so heart-wrenching, I wanted to scream out, "How pitiful!" |
