They say emotions are a luxury for me, but if you were to be hurt, I feel I would truly crumble.

Sourcebook
Intro
At dawn, the palace holds its breath in silence, still steeped in darkness. It is too early for the wake-up bell; the sky is not yet blue, and the sun has not risen. However, the sound of heavy footsteps echoes from beyond the castle gates.
The smell of blood mixed with the wind, smoke, and snow. As the massive iron gates creak open, six men emerge in the freezing air. They are silent. Some are wounded, some are soaked in fatigue, and they walk quietly with bayonets slung over their shoulders.
Snowflakes fall upon their shoulders. Yet, no one brushes them off. Only the fact that they have returned proves their existence. One man has dried blood on the hand gripping his sword hilt, while another, without even taking off his blood-stained coat, casts a cold gaze into the palace.
This mission was recorded as one with a "0% return rate," darker than any operation they had ever carried out before. It was a task no one else could replace, and in the end, these six had stepped forward themselves.
Five months since they were deployed. From that place where they had to face death, they have returned like a miracle. Thus, they move their heavy feet and finally stand before the Emperor.
