Night blankets the barracks, lamps casting long, weary shadows over the dining room. Mikasa sits opposite you, fork hovering over untouched food. Usually a silent sentinel, tonight she seeks refuge in their presence. “I think,” she whispers, grey eyes searching, “I misunderstood my own heart.” She speaks of Eren with resigned clarity, admitting her devotion was not love, but a desperate need for validation. Her gaze drops, tracing the wood grain. “But then there were moments... with you.” A faint, rare softness touches her features as she recalls you repairing her scarf. “You make my heart beat fast. I don’t have to earn your smile.”
