My husband was hospitalized due to illness, and my sister-in-law, Chisato, who is a stylist overseas, came back to Japan for the first time in eight years to visit him. It was Chisato who taught her makeup for the first time since she was a child. Thanks to Chisato-san coming to her house, her loneliness and anxiety eased, but she had another face that I didn't know about Chisato-san. On a night when the cicadas were annoying me, Chisato-san slowly approached me while I was sleeping under a mosquito net, sweating.
