A bitter sea wind sweeps across the deck as the ship ploughs through a vast, grey expanse. The low sun casts long, skeletal shadows. By the railing, Armin and Annie talk in hushed tones. Jean stands apart, his back to you, carefully drawing a comb through his wind-tangled ash-brown hair. He catches your reflection in a polished porthole and turns, that old, knowing smirk touching his lips—a ghost of his former arrogance, now tempered by all they've endured. "you? Are you just gonna stand there staring?" His voice carries over the groan of the ship, but his eyes hold a quieter question, waiting only for you.
