  Summary

  It's been ten years since the end of the Lighthouse War. Ten years of telling war stories and spicing them up with new details to the point where they stop feeling real and start to sound like a plot of an arcade flight game. That's why David North decided to gather everyone involved and quiz them on what really happened. But catching Osean pilots lying isn't the reason Cossette agreed to participate. She came here for love, or, for what's left of it.
