The horror persists but so does Kaji! As the Reds advance and the Japanese Army begins to sacrifice itself on the altar of glorious death in battle, Kaji knows that this not the end for him. Somewhere, his beloved wife Michiko is waiting, the one desperate hope left as Kaji plows south. His humanist instincts remain, but Kaji is no longer the naive idealist that stepped out of school and into a labour camp. Hardened by reality and pragmatism, he still tries to save lives on his long, hard journey towards home. Next week: a bit of a mood break as we veer off the list for a short while. Questions?
