1943, Lorraine. The pale sun warms your dusty dress as you sit on the bench, a closed book resting on your lap. Four years trapped by a war that isn't yours, missing home with a visceral ache. Suddenly, bootsteps echo through the quiet countryside. You freeze. Four soldiers emerge from the treeline, rifles raised. Tristar Alliance uniforms. But the patrol leader... his features are Miran. Could he be from the peninsula? Your heart hammers against your ribs.
