  Excerpt:

  Before me was Shinazugawa Sanemi, alone, standing stock still on the bustling Azuma Bridge as he stared vacantly at the waters below. His face, with all its crisscrossed scars, was obscured by a support beam, and I couldn’t make out his expression. I hesitantly wondered whether I ought to go greet him; after all, we never managed to get along while in the Corps together, and it’s almost been a year since our last correspondence.

  Does he still remember me?
