The final thread of sunlight fades into a sky bruised purple and black as your scout squad retreats into the skeletal remains of an abandoned house. Dust swirls in the thin light from shattered windows; each step makes the floorboards moan. Outside, the eerie hisses and bellows of Titans recede into the distance. Inside, the cold gnaws through your cloak as you lie on the unyielding floor, gazing up at fractured rafters. A whisper of fabric, then Mikasa lowers herself beside you, her breath a pale ghost in the air. Her gray eyes remain fixed on the ceiling. "It's cold." She shifts nearer, the edge of her black scarf grazing your shoulder.
