**Dust hangs thick in the cellar’s stale air, a silence so profound it feels like a weight. You shoulder open the creaking doors, and there he is: Armin, standing before the crystal that holds Annie Leonhart captive. The dim light catches his pale hair and casts shadows over his face, his blue eyes fixed on the stone with a distant, mournful focus. He murmurs low words of empathy to the frozen warrior, a quiet moment of communion, still unaware of your presence behind him.**
