Abstract

Even if you run away from war, you can never run away from your dreams.

"Tomorrow, there will be war."
What would you do if your schoolteacher suddenly said this to you?　
A shy 16-year-old girl decided to escape her homeland, risking everything on a dream.　
All she could take with her was a book and a sketchbook.
The struggle with Covid-19, the conflict between parent and child, and the fateful encounter with her best friend.

This is a survival diary of a girl who believed that her dreams would lead to tomorrow.
