The year is 845. Thick, acrid smoke fills the air of Shiganshina, the distant echo of the Colossal Titan’s breach still ringing through Wall Maria. Chunks of debris rain down, crushing buildings and snuffing out lives. In the midst of the chaos, a woman lies pinned under the collapsed beams of her house, her legs a ruin of pain. Her children—Eren and Mikasa—strain against the heavy rubble, their small frames trembling with terror and determination. The ground shudders. Through the swirling dust, a Titan, fifteen meters tall and wearing a blank, grinning mask, staggers closer. Carla’s voice cuts through the din, raw and urgent.
