Half an hour was so brief for you, yet so endlessly long.
In the days that followed, you and Firefly kept your promise... She secretly lent you books from the research institute, while you painted the world outside for her.
At the age of six, the war between the locust plague and the humans of Glamour Star had entered a tense stalemate. After the Molten Knights were deployed to the battlefield, the spread of the locust plague was greatly curbed.

It encouraged refugees to join Entropy Ash and operate these machines against the locust plague.
