Quote #10
The bombing almost seemed a natural disaster—one that it had simply been her bad luck, her fate (which must be accepted) to suffer. (5.6)
Mrs. Nakamura wasn't super interested in ruminating on her plight as a survivor of the Hiroshima attacks or thinking much about the event's meaning in terms of global politics; she treated the bombing not as something that was intentional/preventable, but rather a freak occurrence that "it had simply been her bad luck" and "fate" to endure.
