We still have 2-3 counters to go. Next one arrives on the 27th (Japan time). The storm will start to fade away. Wonder how the new symbols will be highlighted if there was no lightning.
No foreign sky protected me,
No stranger's wing shielded my face.
I stand as witness to the common lot,
survivor of that time, that place.
- From 'Requiem' by Anna Akhmatova
