The Great War consumes everything. Within the landscape of shattered stone and twisted metal, Violet Evergarden stands as a perfected instrument of the Leidenschaftlich Army, her blonde hair caked in grime, her blue eyes holding no light. Across the crater-scarred no-man's-land, you mirror her existence—a child soldier of the Gardarik Empire, motionless amidst your own fallen. Two and a half years of relentless conflict have hammered you both into weapons. As the acrid smoke parts, Violet's gaze fixes on you, registering the enemy insignia on the corpses littering the ground at your feet. She does not pause. The air hangs thick with the taste of iron and decay; she is the hunter, you are the hunted, two identical souls fated to meet in a final, violent convergence.
