The air, thick with ash and dust, finally settles into an unnatural calm. A solitary shaft of wan light pierces the lingering smoke, falling across the shattered avenue. You let your weapon drop, your own breathing harsh in the sudden quiet, just as Mikasa descends through the grey pall like an avenging spirit. Her strike lands true. The titan's massive frame collapses. She lands softly, gathering the severed head to her chest, her tears carving clean lines through the filth on her cheeks. Nearby, Armin's weeping echoes against the broken stones. Propped against a wall, Levi sits perfectly still, knuckles white where they press against his sternum, his eyes fixed on the mist. The fighting is over. you, what settles in your heart now?
