Part of

Violet Evergarden Collection

On a certain continent, in a certain era. The war that divided the continent between North and South ended, and the world gradually moved towards peace. Violet Evergarden, who had fought as a soldier during the war, left the army and arrived in a large port city. Embracing the words of someone who meant more to her than anyone else on the battlefield— The streets were bustling with activity, and trams crisscrossed the gas-lit streets. Violet worked as a "letter writer" at Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins's company. This meant crafting words tailored to the client's wishes. She faced her clients directly, touching their innermost, honest emotions. Meanwhile, as she recorded the letters, Violet gradually grasped the true meaning of Major Gilbert's words to her that day.
