"Talin is a Striker, a member of an elite fighting force that stands as the last defense for the only free nation in the world: Mara. A refugee, Talin knows firsthand the horrors of the Federation, a world-dominating war machine responsible for destroying nation after nation with its terrifying army of mutant beasts known only as Ghosts. But when a mysterious prisoner is brought from the front to Mara's capital, Talin senses there's more to him than meets the eye. Is he a spy from the Federation? What secrets is he hiding? Only one thing is clear: Talin is ready to fight to the death alongside her fellow Strikers for the only homeland she has left . . . with or without the boy who might just be the weapon to save--or destroy--them all"--

, she would say to me as she patted my cheek, 

It is always the gentle ones I fear the most, those willing to bare their hearts, who grieve for others and feel happy for others' happiness.

We are legendary bringer of death, assassins of monsters.

And the only thing standing between our home and annihilation.

I think my mind has buried most of those memories, shouded them in haze to protect me.

Corian Wen Barra, my Shield, is already here, his back turned to me.

He is my Shield, what we call our Striker partner. I am his.

I always warn him that they do not have the heart he has.

This entire scene simply doesn't exist in my memory, somehow

No one wants to accept the apology I have come bearing.
