I’ve encountered androids dispatched to Earth on a top-secret mission.
These unknown androids call themselves ＜YoRHa Soldiers＞.
Command that abandoned us. YoRHa Soldiers with nothing but secrets and full of mysteries.
But you can’t protect your family if all you do is doubt.
…I hope my choice, our battle, will be a breakthrough in this long war of attrition.
