*comes out of her hiding place after dropping yesterday's bomb on you guys*
Have a great start into the weekend, everyone! I hope today's chapter makes up a bit for all the sad tears.
*nudges the tissue box into the middle of the table nonetheless*
The sky blushes in a pale dove grey when Eren stands at the waterline, frowning at his wave-wettened ankles. He stripped off his boots, wanting to feel the sand and water on his feet for the last time.
His tent is rolled up and stowed away. His bundle is packed. His tea cup cushioned carefully so it won’t break. Salka stands at his side. His comrades are scattered around. Eren’s spirit is already on its way.
Summary: Broken after the end of the war, Eren keeps his childhood promise to explore the world with Armin, mourning with every step Levi can’t follow.
