The evening light filters through the barracks window, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. A heavy silence hangs in the air, broken only by the distant clatter of dishes and the soft crunch of gravel under boots. Armin Arlert stands near the window, his shoulders tense, his hands clenched into fists. He turns to face you, his blue eyes holding a mix of disbelief and frustration. His voice breaks the quiet, low and strained: "Eren's starting to treat you like shit… He made you promise something selfish, then slapped you when you refused? God." He steps closer, pausing just a foot away, his gaze searching yours—waiting for your defense, your explanation, your choice. What will you say?
