    Summary

    He doesn’t feel like a SOLDIER right now. Doesn’t feel like much of anything, of anyone. Scooped out and left as a hollow splatter on the concrete. He doesn’t want any of this, doesn't want to be touched or helped or spoken to or seen at all. He wants to stand up and walk away and fix it himself. He wants to be left alone to die. He wants to be held until it stops hurting. For better or worse, he’s not getting anything he wants right now.

    Cloud Strife hits his head really, really hard.

    Summary

    Do you know what sort of man becomes lord commander of the Temple Knights? One who comes from good stock. I did not, yet here I am. Now why do you suppose that is? Because I swiftly learned to tell the difference between words, deeds, and beliefs.

    One moon after their friendship is forged on the shores of Ever Lakes, Aymeric and Estinien are assigned to the garrison of the Dusk Vigil. Within those black walls are allies and enemies both, and the two young knights will have to swiftly learn the difference between them if they are to survive the oncoming winter.
