Light (莱特) is an NPC appearing in Mirror Stage in Girls' Frontline, relevant to the storylines of Angelia, J and Shadowless.

Character Info

Light was considered a rising star of the Stasi before his death[1] at only 19 years old.[2] He's the younger brother[3] of Shadowless, who disapproved of his line of work since their mother died as an agent.[2] Shadowless blames Light's mentor J for his career choice.[4] Light and Shadowless' mother, called Uhrig[1] or Ulrig[5][Note 1] (乌里希), was in fact J's own mentor in the Stasi, and J took care of Light as a child.[6]

Light's ideal was that heroes are not necessarily people who are remembered, but also those who contribute to a better world in the shadows and anonymity. For his agent codename, he intended to use the letter "U", standing for "Unknown". For this reason, he admired Angelia as a hero, even though they worked for two different countries and agencies.[6] Light is shown to be a strong fighter and an alternate timeline implies that he could have bested Angelia.[7]

Light invoked the phrase "Brave New World" twice, hinting that he was a proponent of Rossartrism.[3][8]

Story Involvement

Berlin investigations

After Angelia's arrival in Berlin to investigate the presence of Paradeus, K assigned Light to assist and monitor her in replacement of J, who had been wounded during the previous Bremen investigation. K commented that the mission would earn Light his letter code, but Light felt he was still too green.[1] He met Ange after her encounter with the Earl, but she was caught by surprise when he called out to her and she nearly cracked his skull open with her mechanical arm when she attacked by reflex.[9] Despite recognizing him as a promising agent,[10] Ange kept Light at arm's length during her investigation, suspecting everyone around her to be a Nyto infiltrator ever since her encounter with Morridow, and unnerved to be recognizing some of her own younger naive years in him.[9]

Light assisted Ange during the interrogations of Leone[11] and Powell in berlin.[12] For her investigation of the production sites of Paradeus drugs, Ange kept Light in the dark since she felt the Stasi would try to stop her,[13] but he ended up saving her from being arrested by the German police after she fell into a Paradeus trap.[14] As soon as Ange and Light returned to the Stasi safehouse, they were attacked by Paradeus, who put the building on fire. Light was wounded and trapped inside alongside AK-12[3] and presumed dead.[15]

In fact, AK-12 had gotten Light out of the fire, and he moved in secret to serve as Ange's ace in the hole against Paradeus' next move. When the Paradeus forces raided the Galatea Sanatorium to silence Leone, Light led other Stasi agents in a surprise counter-attack that succeeded in pushing back the enemy force, but Leone was still assassinated.[16]

Light took part in the investigation of the abandoned Oberstein mansion with a small group of trusted agents. Before the operation, Light entrusted his cufflink with the engraved letter U to Ange and asked her to give it back to him after the mission if she thought he was a good enough agent, and Ange begrudgingly accepted.[6] When Paradeus' trap sprung, Light and AN-94 were attacked by Gray as they were standing guard and they retreated inside the mansion.[17] Armed with an HK512, he killed the Strelets cutting Ange's exit, but was attacked by Gray who cut one of his arms and captured Ange.[18]

Gray was taken off-guard when Light reappeared during her fight against AK-15 and nearly hit her with three more shotgun shells. Gray impaled Light with her scorpion tail, but fell into the trap he had organized with AN-94, who shot the explosives Light had strapped to his body, weakening Gray and opening her to 94's lethal strike. Gray was however saved by the traitor RPK-16. Ange blamed RPK for Light's death, but RPK retorted that Ange was the one who failed to save him.[8] Light attempted to leave a message in blood at some point before his death, but it was scrubbed by Paradeus.[19] Before leaving, Paradeus troops tampered with the battlefield to trick future investigators into concluding that Angelia had attacked and killed Light and the Stasi agents before running away.[19]

Legacy

Romy Riefenstahl became the Stasi's director after the mansion incident, and she prohibited further investigation into the incident. The usually listless J starting actively opposing the rest of the Stasi in his quest to find Light's murderers.[19][20] To lure J into a Paradeus trap in one of the German factory lent by the government to Paradeus, RPK gave him Light's cufflink.[21][22]

After J survived the trap thanks to the Commander, he attended the funeral of Light and the other Stasi agents and put Light's cufflink among the objects to be buried in the symbolic coffin. Shadowless didn't attend the funeral but visited the grave alone later.[23] She vowed to continue chasing and revealing the truth as a journalist in memory of her brother.[24]

During the Battle of Frankfurt, J attempted to convince Nele to stop working with the Commander, taking Light as an example of how all idealists end up dead.[25]

Alternate timelines

In the "Autumn" timeline of Slow Shock, which is an alternate version of the Berlin events, Q informed Ange ahead of time that the Stasi would eventually send an agent called U to monitor her.[26] Since Ange refused to collaborate with the Stasi, U had to fight his role-model and led a Stasi assault on the mansion when Ange investigated it. U bested Ange in a closed-quarters fight, but he was killed by Q with a sniper shot before he could kill Ange.[7]

In the BAD END 2 timeline of of Quantum Fluctuation, Light and J are briefly mentioned to have organized the Commander and Kalina's infiltration of the Unity Day party, leading to their assassination.[27]

In another timeline briefly shown by Lunasia, Shadowless vows on his grave to avenge Light's death, instead of pursuing the truth like him.[28]

Notes

  1. ↑ In the English translation of Convolutional Kernel, Ulrig is called Shadowless' father (When we were kids, Light and I dreamed of being legends like your father Ulrig—agents who died for their ideals.). This is a translation error, the original CN script makes no explicit mention of Ulrig's family relation with Shadowless and makes no implication about the character's gender (我和莱特小时候都很向往成为乌里希那样为了理想而献身的传奇特工。).
