To me who was a child at that time
Ai Suzuki 21 years old. Kesennuma, Miyagi. 14 Feb 2019. Ai is a student. The tsunami hit Kesennuma when she was 13. She was in school at that time and she started refuge at school. She is currently studying at a university in Tokyo. Ai feels sorry for forgetting the scenery of the city before the tsunami and seeing the changing city, and she wants to think about it, so she is studying residential studies. She thinks the tsunami gave her something, but she thinks her course hasn't changed. She used to be pessimistic, but now she is not.
