THE DIMENSION GUARD
Buddy

For the first time Soldiers became acquainted with Setsu and Zifa, it happened when he was taken by Zam to the shelter of the children of the victims of the Noir dimensional attack.

Soldier is still not who he is now, does not care about other humans and lives just a life without a purpose in his mind.

The figure of the Soldier caught the attention of Setsu and Zifa, where they began the conversation when they saw the Soldier just standing still while the other children were waiting in line to pick up food.

"Hey boy aren't you hungry, if you don't take food then everything will run out." Setsu approached while carrying a plate filled with rations to eat.

The soldier stared puzzled at not knowing Setsu...."You talk to me."

"Who else, you're the only one standing there alone... Aren't you hungry."

"Hunger, yes I haven't eaten all day, but there's nothing I can kill."

"What do you think of food." Lemas Setsu responded to Soldier's words.

"Predator, I didn't find them here."

"Why are you looking for that thing, you just go there and ask for food." Just point Setsu to where the officer gives food rations to the children at the shelter.

"Where ?." The soldier looked in the direction set by Setsu.

"I don't see any food there."

Setsu did not get out of thought with the response of the Soldier, considered strange indeed, because this was the first time he saw someone who did not know anything.

Taken a loaf of bread from a plate..."Lookatthis... It's called bread, you don't have to kill predators or whatever it is, you can swallow it as food."

Quickly the Soldier's hand took one of the bread that Setsu showed, until it had unwittingly entered his mouth, panicking instead of playing while the Soldier was still chewing.

"It's delicious." Soldier Saying.

"Hey that's my bread, give it back." Setsu immediately pulled the soldier's hand but everything was swallowed.

"I want more."

"You can ask the people there, don't take mine." Setsu tried to get rid of the Soldier who was trying to grab another loaf of bread on his plate.

Until Zifa came to see the commotion made by Setsu for fighting over bread... "Sister Setsu, you're shameless about taking someone else's bread."

"Who you call takes someone else's property, obviously this kid ate my bread."

"I didn't take it, but you gave it."

"I told you, you can get this bread to them."

"Stop not to make a fuss, we could be kicked out of here."

"But... My bread."

"Later I'll give you a little bit of my share."

Not long after the commotion the Soldier made, some of the military members in the room tried to take the Soldier away, only, he rebelled and two people were thrown for not being able to withstand the strength of the Soldier.

"Askar don't fight." A man of great stature gave orders and in fact it made Soldiers stop rebelling.

"Alright, but you can't fight."

Setsu and Zifa were quite confused by this incident, where after one person spoke, the other guards brought him so much food.

Seeing how greedy the soldiers chewed every loaf of bread in both hands, until others gulped and were amazed at the special service they gave to one strange little boy.

Swallowing what he chewed, staring at Setsu and Zifa silently watching him...."Why don't you eat, if your food is lacking, sit down we eat together."

"No need." Setsu's short answer, though in reality he clearly lost two loaves of bread and it reduced the rations to fill the stomach.

Without hesitation the Soldier took five loaves of bread and placed them on Setsu's plate.... "If you're lacking, it's still a lot."

This is the first beginning that makes Setsu and Zifa know Soldier as a strange figure, but behind the strangeness of Soldiers, the three of them become closer and take care of each other.

There are actually many things that Soldiers can remember in the life with Setsu and Zifa, about the tough days of military training, or the little happiness of being able to take a day off and go out of the dorm to enjoy some free time.

But after the day of Zifa's death, Setsu and Soldier's lives completely changed, a loss he first felt into regret without ever being able to fix.

And for now....

Setsu recounts that he was asked by Roi to keep an eye on the Soldier, this is not strange, knowing that the Soldier is not an indiscriminate figure, as the strongest weapon capable of annihilating anything before him.

But for Setsu, the Soldier has learned enough about life, so he believes that it is impossible for the Soldier to wrongly use force to harm others.

"I heard a lot about you Setsu, and you did all right after leaving Raynor Avya." Soldier said because he remembered Ze's story.

A slight mocking smile from Setsu, assuming that Soldier's remarks did not make him happy...."It's not a good thing Soldier, I'm just venting out all the despair, why that day I let Zifa become a member of the military."

Setsu's life is now like an expected penance to Zifa, for Zifa to lead a normal life without risking her life again and that becomes regret.

"I know Setsu you're dying to see Zifa back, I feel like just yesterday she was next to us, breaking up both of us while fighting for bread." A little story that the soldiers remember.

"I'm actually wondering, what do you know about Zifa, Soldier."

"It's weird, but I already consider Zifa to be my family." That's what the soldiers know.

"His family?, Soldier, you don't know anything about him." Reply Setsu.

It becomes a heavy talk that Setsu says after several years of not meeting, even Soldiers feel the anger of Setsu every time the name Zifa is spoken.

"Forgot that, he's not coming back." Setsu regained her composure, despite the glare she had so deep and shrouded in despair.

"I know, but I can see that you haven't been able to let go of Zifa." Reply to the understanding Soldier from Setsu's gaze.

"There's no way I can let go of Zifa, because of her.... " Heart Setsu continued his words and stood with a tightly clenched hand.

He left and intended to leave the Army, but suddenly stopped when at the door ... "Askar, I've only been asked to keep an eye on you, but there seems to be nothing to worry about, you've got your own goals, a normal life and you're free from any military entanglements."

"Setsu, this ...." The soldiers did not want any misunderstanding between them.

"No need to say anything, we're still friends, Zifa wants the same thing, and I'll take care of her." Reply Setsu where he immediately left the Soldier alone.
