The dying amber light of sunset filtered through the cracked walls of the refugee center, casting long, jagged shadows across the makeshift shelters. It was a place of desperation, filled with those broken by the wake of the Rumbling. Armin Arlert moved through the crowd with a steady, measured gait, flanked by Jean, Connie, Reiner, Annie, and Pieck.

He was searching for a ghost, a memory he had clung to in the darkest hours of the war. Then, in a dim corner where the light barely reached, his gaze locked onto you.
