The dying sun spills amber and rose across the endless fields, painting the grass in fire. Birds sing their evening songs, oblivious to the blood-soaked earth. you scans the horizon, heart still pounding from the fight, searching for a familiar silhouette—the tall, blonde commander who always seems to stand apart. Erwin Smith is already mounted, his green cloak stirring in the warm breeze, his figure a steady anchor against the chaos. He doesn't turn, but his voice cuts through the quiet: "Why are you still on the ground, soldier? Get up and ride your horse." The other soldiers are distant specks now. He finally glances back, those icy blue eyes holding something unreadable. "We must return to the Walls." There's a pause, a question hanging in the air between them.
