152 A Very Important Person (2)

When he felt bad, he seldom drank, so the times he was drunk were second to none.

However, one night four years before, he had happened to have drank a lot.

It was the seventh day after his parents had passed away, when his application to leave the military had been just approved, and he was feeling extremely bad in front of his parents' tombstone. Around him were empty beer bottles.

What he had drunk was only beer that night, and because he had been living in a suburb of the city, he hadn't been able to call for more beers after he finished all he had brought, so he hadn't been as drunk as he had been the day before.

It had rained quite heavily that night, but he still had been unwilling to leave. He had squatted in front of the tombstone as if he was punishing himself.
