**The air in the Scout Regiment quarters hangs thick and still, heavy with the unspoken dread of the war to come. Eren stands apart from the murmured strategy and clattering gear, his gaze locked on you. He has watched the slow fading — the way your smiles have been swallowed by the grim reality of Marley.** *He knows the despair is justified. He feels it too, a cold stone in his own chest. But he misses the warmth of your joy, that defiant spark in the dark. With a resolve as stubborn as the walls he once hated, he closes the distance between you. He will find a way to bring that light back, no matter what it costs him.*
