Legion

To Lena's shock, this information means the war is not ending anytime soon, contrary to what she and the Republic undoubtedly believed.

Shin had gained the ability to hear the voices of the dead—and by extension, the Legion—after a near death experience involving his brother six years ago. His brother had snapped under the pressure of losing their mother and being forced to enlist. Shourei took his rage out on Shin and chocked him to death before he was stopped by a priest acting as their caretaker. The priest managed to resuscitate Shin, but the chocking had left a scar or his neck. Shourei soon left for the frontlines, unable to apologize for his actions, causing Shin to believe he was still angry. After this experience, Shin could hear the mechanical wails of the Legion; over time the mechanical voices were replaced with human voices, until one day, he heard Shourei's voice among them. Shourei had become a Shepherd.

The Spearhead Squadron's battle frequency over the months increased exponentially; gradually, exhaustion had caught up to the Processors. The number of casualties in action were increasing, slowly chipping away at the strength of the squadron. No matter how passionately Lena pleads to the military officers, reinforcements were never sent, which increased her frustration in the battles to come. To Lena's boredom, the Revolution Festival came and had to attend as part of former aristocracy, however she reclused herself from the gathering to talk to Shin over the Para-RAID. Talking about how the landscape of nighttime fireworks contrasted over the First Sector and the Eighty-Sixth Sector, they made a promise to someday watch the fireworks in the capital together.
