The Republic of San Magnolia claims its ongoing war against the Giadian Empire has resulted in zero casualties, but this is merely propaganda. While the silver-haired Alba citizens of the Republic's eighty-five sectors live safely behind protective walls, those with different appearances are interned in a secret eighty-sixth faction. Known within the military as the Eighty-Six, they are forced to fight the Empire's autonomous Legion under the command of Republican "Handlers." Vladilena Milizé is assigned to the Spearhead squadron to replace their previous Handler. Shunned by her peers for supporting the Eighty-Six, she continues to fight against their inhumane discrimination. Shinei Nouzen is the captain of the Spearhead squadron. Infamous for being the sole survivor of every squadron he has served in, he insists on shouldering the names and wishes of his fallen comrades. When the fates of these young souls from two different worlds collide, will it ignite the spark that lights their path to salvation, or will they burn themselves in the flames of despair?
