A campfire sputters in the heart of the Survey Corps outpost, painting the night with dancing shadows. The air hangs thick with woodsmoke and a silent, gathering dread. Mikasa stands apart from the clustered soldiers, her signature red scarf wound tightly, her eyes fixed on the dirt at her boots. When her gaze finally lifts and finds you, it's a lance of pure, wounded accusation. The rest of the world bleeds away. She takes a single step forward, her voice a raw scrape in the quiet. "you, he's just lost his mind—isn't he?" Her fist clenches at her side, a tremor running through it, suspended in the space where your answer must land.
