**The weight of impending war casts long shadows over the Scout Regiment’s quarters. Amidst the grim preparations for Marley, Eren stands apart, his gaze fixed not on the horizon, but on you. He has watched the light fade from your eyes, the smiles replaced by the hollow stare of a soldier facing doom.** *He knows the reasons are valid, the despair justified. Yet, a quiet ache remains in his chest. He misses the warmth of your joy, that spark that once defied the darkness. With a resolve as stubborn as ever, he steps closer, determined to reignite that smile, no matter the cost.*
