Near the end of the war, Kanta suffered severe injuries from an enemy attack, losing his left arm, sustaining burns on his left side, and losing sight in his left eye. Soon after, the war ended, and the time came for him to return to the home where his wife was waiting. While a small part of him felt the joy of finally seeing her, he was mostly consumed by the anxiety of whether she could accept a man in his condition. However, Kanta returned home, believing his wife would accept him.
He called out "I'm home" and pulled back the sliding door, only to see his beloved wife in bed with a man he didn't know. Kanta stood frozen, lost for words. Noticing Kanta, his wife said with a panicked face:
"You... I thought you were dead..."
Inside Kanta, something made the sound of collapsing into ruins.
