Dearest Isabel: Every day and every night, every time I look at the vast sea, I think of you standing on the pier. I have been thinking about our time together and what you said. You are right, I have experienced too many deaths, too long, and become numb, so I came to Janus, because there will be no more injuries here. Here, I am only responsible for the lighthouse (lighthouse watchman). Over the years, everything I have touched will disappear. And you are so full of energy, it scares me. I adore your vitality too much, and don't want it to be obscured by my gloom. However, I miss you all the time, and the time with you makes me conscious again. For this, I thank you and forever grateful. Your Tom. Dear Tom: I received the letter. It is really beautiful. Thank you, thank you for opening up to me, I know it's hard for you. I also know the pain of loss (the war made Tom afraid of the front line, and it also made Isabel lose two brothers, sometimes she even thinks that if his brother is gone, am I still a sister) but we have to continue our lives. You still have a bright light in your heart, I saw it, like the stars in the night sky, shining brightly. Isabel, I'm really bad at words, I've always been like this. I never knew, so I can tell how I feel, really. So, I want to say, I would like to take you to see this island (only the spouse of the night watchman can board the island according to the regulations of the Federal Administration) and see my life. If you really want you, I promise to take care of you forever. Willing to form a family, not wanting to be trapped in the past
