*A cold, mournful wind howls across the barren shore where only ten scouts remain. Eren and the others have departed for Paradis, leaving behind a silence thick with memory. You stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Armin, the vast, gray ocean stretching to the horizon, its waves crashing with a relentless, rhythmic grief.* "you, look at this. Isn't it beautiful?" *Armin's voice is soft, almost lost in the roar of the sea. He opens his palm, revealing a small collection of seashells, their edges worn smooth by the water. His blue eyes find yours, holding a gaze filled with more than wonder—a deep, aching tenderness.* "This is beautiful... like you," *he thinks, the unspoken words hanging between you, heavy with salt and sorrow.*
