Comment:
It is not possible to say indescribably, and it becomes heavy feelings. I can't think of anything about their lives.

This story is a mysterious friendship that exceeds the time. Younger people usually don't care much about their traditional ceremony or issues, also are not interested in their history or their folks' experiences. But after she realises she is existing in Poland 1941, she regrets a lot of things, such as she should've studied more, she should've listened her uncles' talks, she should've remembered what her aunt said, etc. We, Japanese hasn't be persecuted from other people who are not Japanese, so we don't have such experience. But we persecuted some people in Asia, we should think about them.
