Two weeks before the Isuzu heavy truck crashed on the Tokyo-Osaka highway, Leonor felt sick. The discomfort of pregnancy was weighing her down. Leandro knew that in all the ports, in Fukuoka, in Hiroshima, money was running. A Gaijin and a Japanese boy were going around, offending the population with their pregnancy.
