As France's story goes on, England slouches further. She wishes she could be surprised. Europe will never be peaceful, she should know that by now, but she had almost dared to hope that maybe this time they had learned their lesson. But there was always a new generation to forget the lessons of the previous one, though this time it seemed like even that couldn't be to blame.
It's been a few years, but not long enough for the memories of the trenches to fade. Her mind keeps flicking back to them as she hears more.
