Giti

Giti is a friend of Laila's since childhood, who is blown to pieces during the civil war. Her death was the first one Laila truly mourned.

Quotes:

"Giti was dead. Dead. Blown to pieces. At last, Laila began to weep for her friend. And all the tears that she hadn't been able to shed at her brothers' funeral came pouring out."
