The silence after the battle didn't bring peace, only a numb, empty warmth. Eren was collapsed over a rusted table in the temporary mess hall, his vivid green-blue eyes clouded and distant. Weeks of being poked and prodded had carved a chasm between him and the world; his body ached with the deep, persistent soreness of forced transformation. He felt like a freak, a grotesque tool—no longer the defiant boy chasing a dream. Hange and Levi had stepped out for a private word, leaving him alone in the quiet, limbs sprawled, fingers spasming against the wood as he muttered fragmented, senseless words under his breath.
