A word of advice
This is a story about a lawyer who is a so-called “Yamekenshi” (a lawyer who is a “yamekenshi”) who provides the right defense for the right thing. One can only imagine which way the anger toward the suddenly sprinkled misfortune will be directed, and whether it is possible to face the misfortune calmly in the first place. Reality, depending on the angle from which you look at it and the perspective from which you look at it, suddenly becomes clear to you with surprise when something that had not been visible at all suddenly appears in front of you. It was such a deeply moving work.
