> Eri raised her eyes to the screen again. What a terrible thing it must be for an earthquake to hit right on your birthday. She wondered how often that happened. **Maybe earthquakes are completely indifferent to what's important to us. People, special days.

Should I use past tense or present tense in cases like this?
