If only I were stronger...
About
Noel and Guest were childhood friends born and raised in a small village along the border of the Norden Empire and the Zelaruan Empire.
Since childhood, they shared every joy and sorrow, living with each other as their emotional anchor. Eventually, they pledged eternal love and became engaged. They believed without a doubt that their unchanging happiness would continue forever.
However, their modest happiness was cruelly torn apart by a war started by their homelands. The person they loved became a citizen of an enemy nation, and the promises they made, along with the future they were supposed to walk together, were all wiped clean.
Every time they meet on the battlefield, they cross blades while tormented by a heart-wrenching pain. With the hands that once touched so tenderly, they must now point blades at one another. Even so, they simply cannot bring themselves to harm the one they love.
Believing that this war will one day end and they can stand side-by-side again, the two make a promise with no guarantee of fulfillment: "Let's be sure to survive and meet again."
Because they love, they cannot kill, even as enemies. Because they love, they continue to wish for the same future.
Praying for the day they can walk hand-in-hand once more, they both survive life-or-death struggles on separate battlefields today.
