Dear Frank,

Last year I mailed you two postcards, “Next year, I want to get my tree with you” and “I will not wear mistletoe to work,” both referring to the same crush.

I was bowled over just now to see that someone had wondered how my first secret turned out.

This year, I will celebrate the holiday with someone wonderful … but he’s not the guy I wrote those secrets about. Even if I hadn’t fallen in love this year, this Christmas would find me fairly indifferent to the person I mentioned in that postcard.

Time work wonders.

Japanese Americans were no less victims of the ‘day of infamy’ than other Americans. But for many of them anger toward Japan was tinged by shame and sorrow. Howard Miyake, then a twenty-four-year-old sergeant, says he can never forget his mother’s sorrow as she stubbornly repeated over and over again, ‘A country of samurai could not have made an attack like that.’ She had worked hard doing everything to raise her nine children by herself after her husband had died. When Pfc Mike Tokunaga’s father, a native of Hiroshima, had heard the news of the attack, he slumped in front of the radio on which he so often listened to the results of the sumo matches broadcast shortwave from Japan. One soldier remembered that his father kept muttering to no one in particular, ‘Those idiots! Those fools!’ Rage mingled with sadness.

I don’t hate people, I just feel better when they aren’t around.
林芙美子、『放浪記』から|from Hayashi Fumiko's "Vagabond's Song"

[…]I don’t know if I like this man or hate him. After sitting for awhile, I decide to go back to the café. “I’m going to leave now. I’ll come again soon.” As I speak, Nomura picks up a small knife and flings it at me. The small blade sticks in the tatami. I gasp. So he still has this disgusting habit. When we lived together at Seta, he threw a knife at me several times. I can’t move, knowing that if I stand up, he’ll grab me by the legs and push me down. […]

Nighttime.

Just as I begin to drunkenly sing for the customers, Nomura comes into the café. I stop singing. It’s not my turn to serve the customers, but I know that he has no money. I feel a bitterness in my chest.

Sourly playing the mouth harp, Katsumi brings him sake. My legs feel week. I call Katsumi to the back room and tell her that Nomura knows me and doesn’t have any money. She understands and goes back. I leave the back door just as I am[…]

I take my time returning to the cafe and find that Nomura is still there. He is drinking sake and eating fried rice with a peaceful expression. I think I would sacrifice anything for him. Nomura leaves at about ten p.m.

Feeling that I am about to sink into the ground, I realize that there is no such thing as love.
