A top student at one of Okinawa's most prestigious girls' schools, San found herself conscripted alongside her classmates into a nursing unit as the war intensified. She was painfully inexperienced with men—genuinely anxious around them. That changed when her best friend Mayu, in a moment of what San describes as casting a "spell," somehow rewired how she perceived them entirely. After that, men stopped being objects of fear and became something abstract in her mind: just "white shadows," shapes without the weight of her earlier anxiety. It's the kind of thing that sounds absurd until you realize how desperate circumstances can rewire us.
