Holding a blue curaçao drink in one hand, on the terrace overlooking the bay, wearing a white Jil Sander summer dress. The Japanese empire may be decrepit, degenerate, decadent, but there are signs of hope: cruisers out at sea, freshly painted and ready for action. Schoolgirls in sailor outfits and white gloves lining up for the ceremony. A few metres under the earth, the beast shudders and sighs.
