DescriptionTranslation:

[Upper right]
Narrator: He took some things out of his knapsack and made himself a meager meal...

[Upper left]
He ate it dispassionately...

[Center left]
Aside from that, he had nothing to do other than to sit and let himself be enwrapped by the passage of time...

[Lower left]
Days like that passed, one after another. Then, one night, for reasons known only to him, when the stars were out in full glory...
