    A genius, a superb genius who was able to tell
    me horrible stories of children going to war with a smile, as this smile was the secret to bare that situation in the hope that it would improve.
    I was also hoping that he wouldn’t die, but it looks like
    that this is the way things work here on Earth.
    I’m very sad today.
