““Shin must have told my boss what I’d done, because that night, my boss said to me, “What on earth were you thinking? If you die, what’s going to happen to your family? If your children mean anything to you at all, you can’t just abandon hope like that!” I burst into tears and couldn’t stop. I just kept sobbing. “I guess I’m meant to keep crying,” I said. He laughed at me, but kindly. We drank till late that night.””
