Summary
“I don’t know how to keep doing this.”
It’s quiet. So quiet Bucky almost misses it. Gale’s voice is a rasp, barely there, like it’s fighting him on the way out.
“I don’t know how to keep sending them up knowing not all of them are coming back. I can’t…I can’t keep looking those boys in the eye and telling them they’re doing a good job when I’ve got to write their letters home next week.”

Summary
In "How Can, Cupid?", Higuchi Ichiyou's unwavering devotion to Akutagawa Ryuunosuke reaches a tragic turning point when she accidentally shoots him during a mission. Haunted by her mistake and his cold rejection, she spirals into guilt and self-loathing, questioning the cruel irony of loving someone incapable of returning affection. Through quiet scenes of unspoken regret and emotional distance, the story explores Higuchi's internal conflict—caught between love, duty, and the painful realisation that even loyalty cannot thaw a frozen heart.
