What The Walls Couldn't Hold

In the aftermath of war and the rumbling that tore their lives apart, a former soldier finds herself tending to a quiet garden, far from the battlefield she once knew. But even peace has its own burdens - and memories of the past refuse to stay buried.

As the seasons change, she reflects on a time when she was part of something larger than herself - a time spent among the Scouts, where comrades became family, and every day was a question of survival. Amid the chaos, she met a man whose eyes held the weight of untold stories, and whose shadow lingers over her long after the fight has ended.

Through letters to a long-gone trusted friend, she recounts the journey that led her to this new life - and the ties that still bind her to those lost in the flames of battle. A love unspoken, a choice never fully made. But even in the quietest moments, love and loss, choice and consequence, are never far behind. And as time passes, she finds that perhaps the greatest battles are those fought within the heart.
