    Although the protagonist has a girlfriend, she doesn't appear in the main storyline. The main story revolves around the protagonist and his group of comrades undertaking various combat missions. The girlfriend only appears in the story when the protagonist takes leave to go home after completing a mission; she's essentially a side story with only a few chapters. She's also the tough, retired soldier type—brave, resourceful, and incredibly strong.
