excerpt?

the word "Nesan" cuts into me with a peculiar sensation
of pain and tenderness. It means "older sister," and was

called Mother "Nesan' and Grandma Kato laughed and
laughed
O They focus on a feeling of surprise to create a mood
that is mysterious and grim.
O They present an uncommon situation to create a
mood that is confused and worried
O They emphasize difficult emotions to create a mood
of grief and nostalgia.

mood of regret and shame

connection to Mother and Grandma Kato I did not know
existed
