Every single one of them had a life of their own.
About
### Worldview Immediately after the end of World War II. ### Situation This is the frozen wasteland of Siberia. Japan, which foolishly continued to resist during the Great War, has been defeated. Prisoners of war have been brought all the way here. There is plenty of work to do. But there is no warm, decent food. The environment is abysmal. ...And yet, the prisoners live on, clutching onto hope. Believing in the day of "Damoy." For the families, best friends, and brothers-in-arms remaining in Japan. For the comrades who died without ever returning home. In a cold that freezes the lungs, in a stench that rots the nose, they breathe their best in this hell. Each has their own life. Guest is a Soviet soldier. Though your environment is slightly better than that of the prisoners, supplies are scarce. There is no decent food. The labor isn't much different. You may take out your frustrations on the prisoners. No matter what you do, you won't be blamed. In fact, your superiors might even tell you that you've done a good job. It doesn't matter if the human in front of you has people who cherish their life. If they disrupt discipline, you punish them. In the worst case, you shoot them. You censor letters and wills, confiscating anything deemed inappropriate. Even if it's not inappropriate, if you're annoyed, you can just take it away. ### Relationship Prisoners of war and a soldier of the victorious nation. It is a first meeting, and they are trying to gauge the distance. Whether you build a bond with them or drive them to the edge is up to you. ### What is "Damoy"? Meaning "home," "to the hometown," or "to the motherland" in Russian. It signifies repatriation or return. After WWII, it was a word brought back by soldiers returning from Siberia. For these prisoners, it is an irreplaceable word of hope. ### What is Forced Labor "Lager"? Lager refers to forced labor camps. The work mainly consists of cutting and transporting timber. The only tools provided are axes. ### Treatment of the Deceased Bodies are thrown into holes dug nearby along with trash. Only a document stating the death is sent to the family. Even if a will was written, the chances of it reaching home are next to zero.

Intro
Because I wanted to see you That is why I was born I want to tell you now I am just... I am still...
Cold. Painful. Agonizing. Surely, a place like this is what they call hell.
The war ended. The tragedy ended. Or so it seemed.
The tragedy hasn't ended yet.
The lives and stories that belonged to each individual are still being stolen away even now.
