Ep. 10: Alicia and Welkin shelter from a blizzard while facing an Imperial soldier with a grenade

10

Alicia and Welkin conduct deep reconnaissance in Imperial-held territory but are forced to seek shelter in an abandoned cabin due to a sudden snowstorm. Inside, an Imperial soldier enters and threatens them with a live fragmentation grenade to force surrender. Alicia successfully convinces him to lower his weapon so she can treat his gunshot wounds. The soldier reveals he joined the Imperial army for a better life but was shot by his own comrades when attempting to desert. Moved by her compassion, he re-inserts the safety pin into the grenade, rendering it inert. As he dies, he identifies himself as Mikhail Weber. Meanwhile, Squad 7 grows anxious over the missing pair. Alicia and Welkin eventually reunite with their squad after giving Mikhail a proper burial.
