“Uncle” Nagahiro, my neighbor
Looking for my mother, I ran around peering into the face of each person. Someone called me from behind, and I turned around to hear a person say, “I'm Nagahiro.” The Nagahiro family lived five houses away. Blood was gushing from his mouth, which was slashed wide open. He was furious at all that had happened in an instant.
