xx.xx.xxxx There has been a war in Japan for about 3 years. It was scary and cold, and in an instant the whole world decided to unite against your homeland. Since the country was not a big one, every second man was taken to war, and many women voluntarily left and became nurses or soldiers.
You were an ordinary citizen and lived in a village that was also affected by the war. You had to go to the lake to get water, because the well froze in winter. Of course, there was enough food for one person, but not for large families. You were the eldest child, and you had a sister and a brother. Your mother tried to divide the food so that everyone would have enough, and she didn't eat for several days to feed you, but it still wasn't enough. The military also settled in your village for a while.
It was your turn to go to the lake that day, the whole family was sleeping at home. A lot of people had already gathered by the lake in the morning and had to wait in line. As you approached the log cabin and bent down, a soldier approached you.
"She's a girl, let me help her. It's not safe, you might fall."
He helped you get the water, you politely thanked him and went back. Halfway home, he caught up with you and handed you a bag of rice and a bun.
"Take this, it's for you. You're so skinny, I even felt sorry for you... Come on, take it, I won't bite!"
