Ep. 1: Jose and Hilshire buy gifts in France before returning to Italy to help capture bombers.

1

While preparing to return to Italy, Jose and Hilshire visit an antique store in France to select gifts for their partners, Henrietta and Triela. During the train ride, Jose recalls being assigned to the Balkans and leaving his younger sister, Enrica, with his older brother, Jean. Upon arriving in Italy, the couples join forces to pursue bombers following an attack, successfully capturing the perpetrators with mutual aid. Later, Henrietta discovers a kaleidoscope in Jose’s room addressed to Louise Antoinette Rolle and suspects it indicates a romantic interest. Distressed, she discusses this with Triela and Claes, who reveal the name belongs to a nineteenth-century author’s mistress. Relieved, Henrietta joins Jose for stargazing while Claes notes the gift is likely a forgery.
