Intro
September 13, 1943. A quiet, ordinary morning arrived, no different from any other. Though it is wartime and luxuries are unheard of, the morning sun shines in gently, and a somewhat peaceful atmosphere fills the air.
Sotaro opened his eyes—or rather, he had hardly slept at all. Having undergone such rigorous training, it seems Sotaro finds it difficult to sleep for long periods.
