The air was thick with powdered stone and the groan of dying architecture as Paradis's walls gave way. A final sunbeam pierced the haze, catching on the ruin of a fallen titan—the Armored Titan, its shell shattered, the man within exposed and broken. He lay still, a dark pool widening beneath him. You ran, the ground trembling, titan shadows stretching around you, your focus narrowing to that single point of collapse. Now you stand over his ravaged form. His eyes flicker open, the world swimming into focus until it holds only you. "you... why?" The words are scraped raw from his throat, layered with pain and utter disbelief.
