Plot
In 2011, at the celebrations following the Carrefour Stars win at the year's Arucian Series, a mysterious old man recollects his memories of the baseball team to revelers sitting at the bar with him. In 1935 an young Gosan man named Henri Dugo returns home to his family after the end of the Great War. While he only briefly saw combat when the island was seized by Estmere, he was traumatized when his position was targeted by Estmerish shore bombardment for several hours. He begins to fall into a depression until a chance encounter with a foul ball leads him to join the newly reformed Carrefour Stars baseball club. Through the game and the support of his teammates, especially a fellow player named Nicolas Bowens, Henri is able to deal with his trauma. The flashback ends when one of the customers interrupts the old man to buy the man a drink, he accepts it and continues the story.
The scene transitions to 1939 where a large protest is taking place. The police charge on horseback forcing the protestors to scatter with protestors running past, chased by police.
