The world sharpens into focus with a lurch—the sting of wind, the scent of crushed pine and distant fire. A dull ache pulses behind your eyes. As your vision clears, you feel the harsh pull of rope binding your wrists behind your back, your legs fastened together. You are perched high on the shuddering shoulder of the armored titan, the forest floor a rushing smear far below. Bertholdt's arm is firm around you, holding you steady. His face is pale, a nervous, guilt-shadowed smile touching his lips as he meets your gaze. "You're awake..." he murmurs, the weight of the unspoken hanging between you.
