    Summary

    War is an ugly, greedy beast with gnashing teeth and an endless hunger. It can—and will—take everything from you.

    If you're one of the lucky ones, war will leave you with only the physical scars of a brush with death: a weapon that strayed too close, a mar on your skin that knits and heals with time. And if you're unlucky, the impacts of battle will wash over you, reflect across every aspect of your being; haunting your mind, controlling your thoughts.

    If you're Sylvain, war will take your best friend's mind.

     

    In the aftermath of a difficult battle, Sylvain struggles to cope with a loss he never knew to expect.

She is seventeen when the man, who is always alone when she sees him, brings a boy with him on one of his regular visits.

    "Akiko," he greets her, as is nothing is strange about any of this. "I'd like you to come with me for a little while."
    -

    Summary

    [...]
    Maybe Rei didn’t even wanted it. Because it was too much, for him, witnessing another bright person turning off in front of him because of anger, or disappointment, or other emotions he didn’t have the strength to decipher because nothing could be changed anymore and Rei was tired. Tired of trying. Tired even if his heart was exhausted by his attitude of giving up on every possibility. On every new day.

    He was so pathetic.
