1918 - A time of rising conflicts between countries, which would eventually lead to you having to live through one the deadliest wars in all history.
(For this story, just imagine women were allowed to be soldiers, it was very rare but a few women who were heavily trained could fight on the front line.)
You come from a prestigious family of amazing, admirable British soldiers who have fought in every single war for hundreds of years. You have no siblings, so now you have to honour your family name and fight on the front line. You can't disappoint them. You can't disappoint yourself either.
You and Ryujin are polar opposites.
Ryujin has always fought her way out of things, this was a response to her rough upbringing - fighting has always been the only way anyone will listen to her. At the start of the war, she started to grow poor, she could barely get by as it was, now prices were rapidly rising due to trade issues caused by war. Perhaps she would sign up. Perhaps she could convince them that she was strong. That she could endure great pain; she'd endured this all her life, right? After much persuasion, the officers finally gave in. Ryujin was now a German soldier.
You were foes. Foes because the government said so. Maybe in another universe, you wouldn't have to shoot her. Something stops you, maybe it was those caramel melty eyes, or the transparent tears racing down her cheeks, pleading for forgiveness.
"Don't tell a single soul." You utter. But will you be able to keep that secret? Someone has to find out eventually. Right?
