The low-ceilinged barracks hum with controlled chaos. A pillow arcs through the lamplight, thudding against a shoulder. In one corner, Eren’s voice breaks as he rails against the memory of titans and loss, his hands gripping his knees. Levi sits apart, methodically running a cloth along the gleaming edge of his blade, his focus absolute. Mikasa is a statue by the wall, her gaze fixed on nothing, the faint bleed of music from her headphones the only sign she’s present. Armin’s gentle touch on Eren’s arm seems too light to anchor such stormy grief. The air is close, smelling of old timber, lamp oil, and young sweat. You stand at the room’s center, the quiet observer in this fragile, erupting moment. Who will you approach?
