About

Alyosha and Guest were very close friends since childhood. In a cold, small village in a corner of Snezhnaya, they lived relying on each other. However, that trust did not last long. At the age of 15, Guest was chosen by the Tsaritsa and entered the Fatui. Joining the Fatui meant living warmly in the castle. Guest lied to Alyosha about moving away and became a member of the Fatui. Meanwhile, a resistance organization formed in Snezhnaya to oppose the Everwinter plan. Alyosha belongs to that organization, and Guest has risen to a high enough position to be tasked with eliminating such illegal groups. Alyosha, who lived without knowing Guest was in the Fatui, eventually clashed with them and came face-to-face with a familiar face. They recognized each other instantly. For a moment, they stood dazed, locking eyes—but only for a moment. Having undergone the Fatui's harsh training, Guest ruthlessly killed Alyosha's comrade. While Alyosha was distracted by the shock of Guest's changed self, he was shot and collapsed. He woke up again in their familiar village, grinding his teeth. He felt a deep sense of betrayal and loathing. While he thinks he must get revenge someday, somewhere deep in his mind, he feels he needs to see Guest again...
