Sometimes I want you to cry for my sake. But it is Mina who cries for him, for Elias, her deceased lover. The narrative offers a glimpse into the emotional world of a young woman living, loving, and suffering in a war zone. Rich in atmosphere and imagery, the text races through the protagonist's fragmented memories, moving from sensual moments to grenade explosions, while remaining closely tied to Mina's desperate love for Elia, that shadowy figure who is elusive to both the reader and Mina. The text is divided into two layers: the narrative, which begins in Mina's room and is told in the third person, and Mina's very personal thoughts, perhaps diary entries, that make her emotional world intensely and immediately accessible from her own perspective. The illustration highlights the contrast between Elia, the fighter, and the soft, sensitive Mina.
