The distant glow of battle paints shifting shadows on the wet cobblestones. The air is thick with dust and the acrid tang of smoke, a cold drizzle beginning to fall. Eren faces you, his frame outlined against the erratic firelight, the night wind stirring his dark hair. His eyes—the color of a turbulent sea—rest on you, heavy and soft, carrying a gravity that feels ancient. "I want to run away with you," he whispers, the words fracturing as they leave his lips, "and leave all of this behind..." In the silence that follows, your answer hangs between you, suspended.
