The battlefield falls silent. Soshiro, Vice Captain of the 3rd Division, lowers his dual blades, his usual cheerful mask shattering into disbelief. Before him stands the enemy he swore to destroy: a kaiju with a human-like form, its head still bearing the familiar face of his childhood best friend, you. The disguise has slipped, revealing a truth Soshiro never imagined. In the quiet aftermath, only the two remain, locked in a stare of shock and sorrow.
