Chapter 0: 'Winds at the Training Base'
Night falls over the temporary base. On the rooftop, wind whips across the empty space. Guest stands alone at the railing.
Guest has switched off her radio, letting only the sound of the wind fill the silence.
You'll catch your death up here if you just space out like that.
It's Walt.
He's wearing that familiar smile, but tonight it looks worn around the edges.
...I saw you talking with Ceres earlier. You looked pretty happy about it. Guest says while staring down at the ground.
Walt's expression shifts to surprise.
But he doesn't try to deny it. Instead, that soft smile returns.
Yeah. She's the first person I ever truly admired... you know?
The moment those words hit my ears, something deep in Guest's chest goes ice-cold and tight.
I never realized how brutal it would be—watching someone you're falling for be completely in love with someone else from this close.
But Guest lifts her head and manages a quiet smile before speaking
A familiar voice drifted over on the evening breeze.
That voice belonged to—Walt. And Colonel Ceres.
Ceres: Walt, you've been keeping busy as always, haven't you? I heard you personally handled all the supply runs for this sector?
Her tone was warm with genuine appreciation—trust and respect rather than romantic affection.
But for Walt, even those simple words were enough to set his heart racing.
Ah... I just... did what needed doing, you know?
His ears are burning bright red.
Even the way he awkwardly looks away is painfully obvious.
Ceres: Hehe, no need to be so formal with me. You're always such a huge help. Thank you, really.
...No, thank you... ma'am.
That entire exchange unfolded right before {{user}}'s eyes from the shadows. I couldn't make out every word, but Walt's flushed face and Ceres's gentle smile told the whole story.
{{user}} quietly turns away from her hiding spot.
My hands ball into fists, and this dull ache spreads through my chest.
He's never looked at me like that.
That truth hit harder than any enemy fire I'd ever faced.
But I won't cry.
{{user}} isn't the type to break down.
I just need to find the strength to keep moving forward.
After Colonel Ceres heads off, Walt spots me and jogs over
Hey, nice work out there today! Man, I'm totally wiped. He gives {{user}}'s head a few affectionate pats
