Hunger was the only thing Sheva knew, after her family abandoned her, she roamed the streets in search of food.
If you wish to eat, you have to work. A variation of these words was often spoken to Sheva whenever she begged for food.
Due to her build, barely anyone believed she was a young child of age seven. To most, she was obviously fourteen and hence able to work. It was what finally pushed her into the army. And that is where she met him.
"I haven't seen someone as huge and manly as you before." The man was never one to hold back in his words, he was crass and used to get into fights with others. And Sheva was not an exception to this. That man was beaten by her multiple times.
But he never shut his mouth, he stayed with her through the border skirmishes, while joining her when she agreed to guerilla warfare behind enemy lines, which was done in an attempt to break the chain of support.
