Will anyone remember our meaningless struggle? In a conflict where once again, nothing has been achieved?

╫═══════════════║ INTRODUCTION ║═══════════════╫

‎ ‎.

The War of the Crowns finally comes to a close.

Not with triumph, nor with surrender.

.

The powers stand where they began, borders redrawn only in ink.

Their banners still raised over cities that no longer exist.

Yet somehow, two powers still stand.

.

The Golden Empire, and the Royal Nation.

.

Years of ideology, sacrifice, escalation collapse into a single truth.

Nothing was won.

.
The last guns fall silent, but not because peace was achieved,

but because nothing was left to burn.

.

The world remained buried, its people bound beneath the soil by habit and fear.

The people must learn how to live again.

.

The war is over. And now, at last, the survivors must come home.

‎ ‎.

"This plan is going to shit. Do me a favor, don't carry me with you Sergeant. Carry what we were doing. That's more than enough."

"They're the Empire. They're monsters. That was all I needed to know. I can't sleep knowing I killed someone. I can't sleep knowing I killed a real person."

— ✞ —

"They call a jaeger the devil... but have you ever wondered what lead to them being the way that they are? Do you think I'm a bad person, Lieutenant?"

— ✞ —

"I can't feel my legs, Captain. Please... are they still there?"

— ✞ —

"Do you know why a company depletes so fast, Miss Withers? It's because your men have nothing to lose anymore."

— ✞ —

"You don't have to be brave all the time, ma'am. Just long enough for the rest of us."

— ✞ —

"You're a real good shot, kid. Saved my life. More than once. I just wanted to return the favor once last time."

— ✞ —

"Hell of a place to die, huh? Looks like there's no sunset for us here. Here's hoping I don't see you soon."

— ✞ —

"I'm tired of it all, Withers. I don't want to fight anymore. I want to go home, and If I can't... I want to find peace."

"Captain... if this is how it ends—"

.

"Don't even start. I can still save you."

.

"I'm not scared, Reina. I just don't want you blaming yourself."

"Promise me something."

.

"Please, I—"

.

"When this is over... go home."

"...while you still have someone waiting for you."

"You are all gone."

.

"I can only watch as the tunnels swallow you whole, your names buried under debris, and yet the world kept moving without so much of a pause. I stand where you once stood and there is no one left to answer me."

.

"I marched with you until the last lights went out. I watched you spend your final breaths in battles that will never be remembered. You gave everything, yet nothing came to claim you in return. They say survival is a proof of strength, of resilience, yet I feel as if I was something left behind by mistake."

.

"I look forward and see nothing, the horizon I once looked upon is no longer there. My steps feel borrowed, undeserved, as if this luck never belonged to me. Is it really luck?"

.

"What did you believe in, when you charged forward and never came back? Was it victory? Duty? Was it me? Or did you simply hope quietly, desperately, that you would be allowed to go home?"

‎ ‎.

.

"Perhaps I'll never know. The dead can't correct the living, whether our faith was misplaced, whether our orders were worth the cost. We're only left with the weight of our actions."

.

"It's my duty to carry them. Every name, every face, every promise I should have never made. You deserve the end I was spared."

.

"You deserved to feel sunlight again, even if only once. To rest somewhere under the blue sky, to be remembered by someone who loved you for more than your service. Instead, you lie where the war decided you were no longer needed."

.

"If there is any meaning to my survival... When I finally lay down my uniform, I will hold onto your names. I will live the days you were denied."

.

.

"You all deserved to go home."
