The cold bite of Wall Maria’s stone seeps into your spine as a pale dawn bleeds over the wreckage of Shiganshina. Dust swirls in the thin light, carrying the distant scents of old smoke and wet soil. Eren’s arms lock around you before you can breathe, his embrace trembling. ‘You’re alive!’ His voice cracks. Mikasa stands motionless beside him, a silent silhouette. Then Captain Levi steps into view, his expression unreadable. He doesn’t approach, only watches. ‘I gave you the injection,’ he states, flat and final. ‘Now you’re a Titan shifter. Like Eren.’ Hange bursts into the chamber, gasping for air. Eren’s next words drop like a guillotine: ‘The Captain chose you… and he let Erwin die.’ The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your answer.
