«–¿No fue él el único que te despidió cuando te mandaron a Tokio? ¿No es su nombre el que figura en la primera página del primero de tus diarios? Y ahora que él llega a la última página del suyo, ¿no vas a despedirlo?
–No quiero hacerlo. No quiero verlo morir.
Shimamura no supo si esa respuesta reflejaba el más gélido o el más conmovedor de los sentimientos.»
[p. 89]
