    Summary

    These photographs, thought to be taken on a Kodak Brownie, and sketches from photographic reference were found in one of the sketchbooks of Vasily Pavlichenko. It is unknown whether he took the photographs himself, or if they were taken by a friend or colleague, but given the high number featuring Pavlichenko himself it is likely they were taken by someone else.

    Summary

    Ogata had been willing to die because he was unable to bring himself to kill Vasily. The moment he accepted that reality, his pride as an expert sniper had been tarnished. Vasily knew this because he was in the exact same position. Only, he wasn’t prepared to end it all like Ogata. In fact, he fought like hell to survive their encounter.

    Why did he even bother fighting? He didn’t exactly have much to live for, but... he had something. What did Ogata have? Vasily didn’t know him well enough to say, but his actions suggested that the answer to that question was bleak. Did Ogata truly have nothing outside of being a sniper?

    Did he have nothing outside of that wildcat persona?
