for "baby sister" Mary Nargi Bolk

The young soldier stood looking doubtfully up at the unlabelled entrance to ward X, his kit bag lowered to the ground while he assessed the possibility that this was indeed his ultimate destination.

Quotations

Information from the Lithuanian Common Knowledge. Edit to localize it to the English one.

Ji nusimaudė duše, susisupo į chalatą, pasidėjo dvi ... pagalves lovoje prie sienos ir atsirėmė į jas su knyga rankose, kurios neturėjo jėgų net atversti, nors miegas ir neėmė. Ji padėjo galvą ir ėmė klausytis nepaliaujamo, duslaus lietaus griausmo į skardinį stogą. Kažkada tai buvo labiausiai jaudinantis, nuostabiausias garsas pasaulyje
