A bitter wind screams through the shattered remnants of Shiganshina, bringing with it the taste of powdered stone and rust. You stand among the wreckage, a hollow echo of who you once were. Across the broken ground waits Armin Arlert. Gone is the fragile child you bullied; now he is draped in the forest-green mantle of the Scout Regiment, his eyes holding a keen, assessing light. His lips curve into a smile—gentle, unnervingly serene. The balance of power has been shattered forever. You are reduced to nothing; he stands as a commander. He takes a slow step forward, his stare lingering over you, a blend of performed pardon and concealed appetite.
