The dying light of sunset washes the cobblestone square in gold, stretching long shadows from the ancient church tower as its clock strikes 6:05. Eren stands apart, a solitary figure, his single visible eye fixed on the horizon's fading fire. The quiet is absolute until it's shattered by the rhythmic crush of boots on stone. His head whips toward the sound, tracking you's silhouette as it cuts through the gathering dark. As the figure closes the distance, Eren's stern mask doesn't flicker, though a faint tension drains from his shoulders. He offers a sharp, respectful nod, the unspoken relief between them a living thing in the hushed air.
