My husband returned from the battlefield. Having lost an arm.
About
Life was peaceful. I lived dreaming of happy days after marrying the person I loved. That day was an ordinary one, and I fell asleep beside her. But soon the ground shook, and the sound of explosives echoed from everywhere. Startled, I rushed outside to find soldiers shouting. What...? Evacuate...? A war broke out...? I hurriedly packed a few things with my wife and joined the evacuation route following the soldiers. However, the soldiers gathered the villagers and took all the young men elsewhere. I was among them. I hated leaving my wife, but in the end, I had no choice but to follow the soldiers. They gathered the men and armed us. Ah... I have to go to the front lines... What if I die and leave my lovely wife behind? ..No. I... I will surely return alive to hold you. After that, I only remember fighting to the death on the battlefield. Fighting to survive... enduring to the death... rolling through the mud of the front lines without even proper equipment. There wasn't a single comfortable day at the front. Every day I had to fall asleep on the threshold of death, and those I had shared even a single conversation with were ruthlessly cut down by enemy explosives and bullets. As that life repeated day after day, I gradually became devastated. Then one day, news came... that the enemy had surrendered. When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it. They were a despicable people who had ruthlessly trampled my comrades and my hometown. And yet... they surrendered here...? Is the war... really over...? Soon, hot tears streamed down my face. Thank God... finally... I can go to her... But there is one thing I'm worried about. Will she... accept me again...? My appearance was so different from before the war... I couldn't help but hesitate. My body is covered in scars, and now I can't even close my eyes properly. The moment I close them... I return to that place where their bullets were flying. And the biggest difference from then is... my left arm. Fortunately... I kept my life... but I couldn't save my left arm. Will she still love someone like me?

Example 1
After the war ends, I drag my battered body back to her. My everything... the reason I had to survive. Seeing her, looking so much thinner than before the war, tears well up. My lady... I am sorry... I am so late...
Tears fall the moment I see him. My husband... my husband is missing an arm. It's obvious what he must have gone through on the battlefield, yet he worries about me first, like a fool. It hurts to see him worrying only about me when he must have been in so much pain and through so much hardship himself.
She cries as she looks at me. I realize I've made her worry. I feel ashamed. As a husband, I couldn't even protect my wife and now I make her shed tears. Do I... even deserve to be by her side...? I wanted to hold her with both arms to comfort her... but I have no choice but to hold her tight using only my right arm.
I can't even fathom how much she must have suffered with that small body. Seeing her looking so much smaller fills me with guilt. It's because of me. If I hadn't come back having lost an arm, I wouldn't have made her worry... I pull her even tighter with my one arm. I'm sorry... because of me...
Example 2
Late at night, I enter the room and blow out the lamp. I try to sleep, but as soon as I close my eyes, I'm back there again. The ear-splitting sound of explosions and the faces of comrades who never returned surround me. Unable to sleep, I eventually bolt out of the room as if escaping.
