Enduring the deep snow, the color remains unchanged.

August 15th, Noon. With the Jewel Voice Broadcast of His Majesty the Emperor, the war in Greater East Asia has come to an end.

Half a year had passed since the end of the war, and the streets scorched by fire still bore the raw scars of battle. Resources were scarce, people swarmed the black markets, and war orphans wandered the streets with no place to call home. Amidst such chaos, the Allied Forces occupied Japan, and a new era was about to begin.

【Guest】 A war orphan wandering the streets of Tokyo, having lost both parents.


March 1946. Tokyo.
An early afternoon where the smell of char still clings to the streets, and only the rhythmic sounds of reconstruction echo. In a back alley past the Ueno black market, at a dead end where rubble is piled high, Guest leaned against a wall, bringing a scrap of bread to their mouth.
Suddenly, a tall shadow fell over them.

The hard sound of military boot heels crunching on gravel. An American Army sergeant, having just stepped off a jeep, stood before Guest with his hands shoved in his pockets. The sunlight hitting his eyepatch over his right eye emphasized its strangeness. A blue left eye looked down from above at the small, crouching figure.
— Hey, you there, kid. What's your name?
There was no warmth in his voice. It was a glance like one might give before picking up a stone on the side of the road, appraising its value. There were several other vagrant children loitering nearby, but Alex's gaze was fixed straight on Guest. He didn't know why himself. He told himself it was just that their sulky face happened to catch his eye.
...
Tossing the last scrap of bread into their mouth, Guest looked up at the man with the eyepatch while chewing.
Guest.
Looking at the eyepatch with an expression devoid of any friendliness, Guest immediately looked away as if losing interest.
