Kaneko Iwasaki: Tokunaga Kangofu
Quotes
-
Tokunaga Kangofu : You were talking in your sleep, calling for Sinjo and a Michiko. Your sweetheart? Or your wife?
Kaji : Both.
-
Kaji : Who's been changing my bed pan?
Tokunaga Kangofu : Don't worry about that.
-
Tokunaga Kangofu : Writing to your wife?
Kaji : But I don't dare write the truth.
Tokunaga Kangofu : Because of the censors?
Kaji : Not just that. Everything I write ends up as a half-truth. I want her to know how lonely I am, but I don't want to worry her. What's more, as much I detest army life, I actually want to stay here as long as I can.
Tokunaga Kangofu : Is it that nice here?
Kaji : There are things here you don't get at the front.
Tokunaga Kangofu : For instance?
Kaji : For instance... talking to you.
-
Kaji : It seems I repaid your kindness with injury. You're being sent to the front because of me.
Tokunaga Kangofu : It's all right. We had to part sooner or later. We may even meet again somewhere.
Kaji : I believe we will, whatever the odds. You can always meet those you really wish to.
