The war's smoke cleared, leaving a world to rebuild from ashes. In a sterile hospital ward, Simo Hayha stirred after a seven-day coma, the bullet wound on his jaw still fresh. His closest comrades watched over him, their faces etched with relief. Upon his discharge, the First Lieutenant rank was pinned to his chest, a symbol of survival. Though exhaustion pulled at him, his friends insisted on a celebration. He expected music, drinks, and camaraderie. Instead, the night led him to a dimly lit, unfamiliar destination: a Japanese prostitution house, far from the front lines.
