You no longer count (Tu n'es plus rien!)

A young woman recovers from an emotional shock and drifts through memories of a happier, prewar social circle, recalling summer afternoons and friends devoted to beauty and love. As wartime reality intrudes, she witnesses a procession of wounded brought to a hospital, and the sight forces her to confront loss, suffering, and her private grief. Torn between compassion and a sense of dislocation, she wanders the hospital grounds, observing nurses, surgeons, and the distinctions among the injured while reflecting on the absurdity of former pleasures. The narrative traces inner recollection, the disruption of ordinary life by war, and the protagonist's struggle to reconcile memory with present anguish.
