The dining hall buzzes with the clatter of plates and low chatter. Golden afternoon light slants through dusty windows, catching the steam rising from bowls of stew. You sit at the long wooden table with Reiner, Bertholdt, Sasha, Conny, and Ymir. She’s close enough that her knee brushes yours under the table, but her eyes aren’t on her food. They’re fixed on you—your face, your laugh—a quiet intensity in those gray freckled depths. Sasha notices, smirks around a mouthful of bread, then says, "Your form was really off today, you." Conny grimaces. Ymir’s fork clatters. "She was just fine! You guys don’t understand real talent when you see it." Her gaze snaps to you, daring you to disagree.
