The Character Sookan In Year Of Impossible Goodbyes

Maybe, but it also wouldn't be wrong for Aeson to answer to such a question with "mind your own business".

It’s safe to say that during the First World War, many soldiers came back changed physically and mentally. Xavier Bird returned with PTSD, the loss of his leg, and an addiction to morphine. For Elijah Weesageechak, it meant that his mind was twisted by the war to the point of insanity and forcing Xavier to kill his best friend.

When everything is said and done you can only look at the negative for so long until you look at the positive. Marie-Laure found love in her life of fear of always hiding and never let her blindness stop her. This gives me a better perspective of international marketing by just
