Across many points in time, small sparks flutter together, join in their daily struggles and tribulations. Moments of companion when in unison towards tomorrow they roar. So are these tales, these roses and ashes that swirl together in this compendium of love billowing with war. A record of figments and passages that not for being transitory do they lose their preciousness.
Takeru has been leading a normal life until now. During the summer vacation of his second year in college he's invited by his high school friends to meet up again, to which he agrees. Shirogane doesn't know that this decision would release the nightmares that have been haunting him for some time, nightmares that would be better left forgotten.
Watching the sky, watching the stars. Time flies by, yet they remain apart. So a hand reaches out, out to the moon. Because waiting is all that can be done, for those little eyes. Waiting and waiting, until the time is right for them to meet. Waiting so long, for a shooting star.
Passing by, without sparing a gaze. Passing through, as if he were a shadow. A lone soldier walks forward, despite the emptiness of the reflection in the screen, how Takeru remains unseen. Soon to meet the first of four encounters which will change the direction of his journey, to meet another soldier in defense. Another soldier, which holds a different yet similar allegiance.
A normal life, a placid routine. Before taking to battle, before endowing the fire, the soldier enjoyed a peaceful life. A simple and precious time, where Takeru and Sumika grew up together through both joy and tears, a bond forged by a present in Christmas. A bond that would remain strong through these precious years, even when another girl enters Takeru's daily life.
A small dream, a precious memory. A frail alliance, a bitter partnership. Two forsaken leaders try and find a way to thrive, despite the knives both throw at the other. Yet, Theodore does not yet know. If the beam of light she wishes to create will guide him to the dream he swore to protect.
A year has passed since the enforcement of Alternative V. A year since that Christmas, where they found each other. As that date draws close, as doubts begin to fester, Silver shall renew his pledge, his vow of love. And on their one year anniversary, Azure must choose. To accept his terms and wishes, or relent upon the pressure.
Watching the sky, watching the stars. Time flies by, yet they remain apart. So a hand reaches out, out to the moon. Because waiting is all that can be done. Waiting and waiting, until the time is right for them to meet. Waiting and waiting, for a shooting star.
Time is running short, the Day is drawing near. In the last days before Alternative V begins its operation, three lone souls exchange vows in a chorus, a chorus of distant days soon to end. And before light's out, the scientist, the assistant and the soldier will have to bring their hearts out of the shell. Before it is time to say forever farewell.
