Soon after, Mendo becomes severely ill and is left by the army in the care of Jefuty's family, who work as bakers. When he recovers his senses again, he learns that Jefuty's parents have been killed, leaving her and her brother Kamon to live their aunt Vena. Mendo also lost his parents, who were civilian technicians working in Coalition territory, and were beaten to death by rioters near the start of the war while Mendo watched from an evacuation boat. When Mendo shares their story with Jefuty, she asks if Mendo wants to take revenge like her. | Soon after, Mendo becomes severely ill and is left by the army in the care of Jefuty's family, who work as bakers.

Jefuty mentions that her parents were killed with their refugees convoy when Antarctican attack helicopters dropped | Jefuty mentions that her parents were killed with their refugees convoy when Antarctican attack helicopters dropped bombs while she was away two months prior, and Mendo realizes he was responsible for the attack. Shaken in his conviction that he should remain uninvolved as a battlefield reporter, he decides to repent by getting Jefuty to Antarctica and calls a favor from his sister Susan. A few days later, Jefuty tells Mendo that she stole a gun and bullets from the Antarctican army to take revenge. Mendo first considers dissuading her like his foster father Colonel Mitas did to him after the death of his parents, but empathizes with her rage and instead decides to help her. | ||
Jefuty and Mendo plan the assault on the local garrison and enter the Antarctican camp two weeks later, hiding the dismantled gun in Jefuty's bread basket. Despite being deathly afraid, Jefuty refuses to back down and they use a wooded hill and the sounds of the nearby airstrip as a concealed position. Jefuty shoots and kills one of the soldiers from a distance, and they slip away in the chaos as the camp tries to respond to the unknown attackers. The incident is chalked up as an isolated guerilla attack. After her first kill, Jefuty cuts her hair and kills three other soldiers and wounds another one over the next two months. The attacks are interrupted by the arrival of Major Charles, tasked with tracking down the guerilla. Charles is held as a war hero but also put on the backline due to his mistreatment of populations in occupied territory. With only one week left before the trip to Antarctica, Jefuty refuses to leave before she used her last bullet, despite the increased military security. | Jefuty and Mendo plan the assault on the local garrison and enter the Antarctican camp two weeks later, hiding the dismantled gun in Jefuty's bread basket.
