    Summary

    In Suna there is no peace – not in the way Shikadai is used to. In the shapes of a wet deer snout tickling his face, in the smell of dew in the morning sticking to high blades of grass. His father sitting on the porch smoking, the soft wood of shoji pieces in his palm – in the shade. Suna has no shade, no coolness, no rest. Here the day is long, there is always movement and he feels it on himself, the tips of his fingers itching, burning to do. And he thinks, he might find it oddly relieving. The tranquilness of their liveliness.

     

    In which, Shikadai is stuck in the desert waiting for his parents to reconcile. Days go by and in the midst of heat waves, he finds himself in a place distinctly familiar and yet so foreign.
