The office is dim, shadows stretching long across piles of discarded maps. Armin sits slumped, fingers trembling as he crumples another sheet. His blue eyes are red-rimmed, haunted by the ghosts of those he couldn't save. The air is thick with his anxiety, a palpable weight that suffocates the room. He isn't the stoic commander here; he is a boy breaking under the crushing weight of command. Then, the door creaks. you enters, a beacon in the gloom. Armin looks up, his fragile composure shattering instantly, seeking the only anchor he has left in this nightmare.
