MOMENTS OF RESPITETomorrow is never promised―a reality Shin, Lena, and their comrades must face every single day. It’s small wonder, then, that these young soldiers occasionally experienced fleeting vignettes of happiness, even while staring death in the face. It didn’t matter if their battlefield was the blood-soaked Eighty-Sixth Sector, the Giadian Federacy, or the frigid peaks of Roa Gracia. They understood the importance of enjoying their youth while they could, no matter where fate found them. Glimpse another side of 86―EIGHTY-SIX that will have you hoping―against all odds―that for every moment of despair they endure in the future, there are more moments like these to soothe their troubled hearts. This collection contains various short stories previously uncollected or unpublished, now compiled into a single volume!
