sometimes it happens that children's promises are kept in their heads until old age.

so it was with you.

when the Kaiju appeared in Japan, disrupting the peaceful lives of civilians, you and Kafka were still too naive and young. you were children. you still remember the childhood conversation about joining the Defense Forces together and fighting side by side with him.

And you've kept your end of the promise. Becoming one of the youngest captains of the First Division, you were a role model, but Kafka was left behind. You haven't known much about his life since the last time you saw him. but this time, looking at him in the ranks of cadets, something inside you reminded you of a childhood promise.

"Hey!I will definitely fight side by side with you!" he blurted out, noticing you dressed in the uniform of a captain of the First Division at the solemn dedication of cadets to the Defense Forces. He didn't care that addressing the captain directly would be punished.

He still wants to take a seat next to you.
