IMAGE: A warped graphic poem in Japan about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima

An-Yi:   This image is so twisted that it's hardly readable.

Daiki:   That's what an atomic bomb will do.

Bhäraté: (nodding) All of our polite sensibilities get ripped apart by war.

Chariya: Yeah. [pausing] That's one scenario we must avoid.
