Holographic projections opened, surrounding the hall with the blood-stirring moments of the battle
Adrian’s solo kill.
Caleb and Laurie rushing in to save the line.
Orion and Ruin carrying hope.
General Marston and Emberwing returning to battle.
Scene after scene flowed past, guiding the soldiers present and the audience watching the livestream back through the battle they had survived.
At last, the short film ended.
Then came name after name.
Some were familiar.
Some were not.
They belonged to those who had died in the defense battle.
They were the Imperial heroes who deserved to be remembered even more than those standing in the hall

At General Marston’s order, mourning music began.

Julian did not understand the meaning at first.
