Kien does not want to remember the war. The memories from the war are like ghosts that haunt him from time to time. From this quote, "Not long ago, in a dream, I was back standing in the jungle of Screaming Souls." Even when he is sleeping the memories from the war cannot get out of his mind. Kien has a question "when will my heart be free of the tight grip of war?" He has no answer for himself. |
