S01E14 Etude Lavie
Episode Overview
As Lavie recuperates from her injuries aboard the wrecked Silvana, she drifts into memories of her childhood with Claus, who moved to Norkia and became her neighbor. Their fathers, Hamilcar Valca and Georges Head, formed a close bond as a vanship pilot and navigator.

After becoming orphans, Claus and Lavie dedicated themselves to vanship training, ultimately having to sell their house to fund their passion. Upon waking, Lavie finds herself in tears
