Civil conflict does that. It's not easy for anyone, walking past places that are falling apart and seeing people lost due to someone else's internal war.

[War had long since ended back home, but it didn't change that what remained of civilization was only holding together by fine threads, and skirmishes happened too often.]

I don't think the rain matters much in comparison. Even if my heart just doesn't feel like catching up... people are truly suffering from something here.

My feelings can wait.
