The Relationships Between the People Involved in the Mayan Island Incident

The Relationship Between Sisters Sara and Mao
A stubborn elder sister who adheres to the laws of the island, and a younger sister who longs for the civilization of the city. Although their characters and ways of thinking are exact opposites, their love for each other is greater than that for anyone else.

The Unified Forces Era Roy and Ivanov
Two people who use their talents as aces that represent both groups in the conflict. Ivanov, who was formerly enrolled in the Unified Forces, has hetu and pratyaya with Fokker, as he served as Fokker's instructor.

The Circumstances of Roy and Aries
Two people who were intimate in their student days; Aries chose her research over love, and Roy was dumped.

The First Interstellar War Era Roy
Roy's character became one that was more pleasure seeking... as a reaction to losing Aries in the Mayan Island Incident?
