chapter 31: alone

"There it is" I breathed.

Just beyond the long meadow of untouched grass, lay my childhood home, ivy creeping up the chimney. As the Survey Corps reached Shinganshina and spotted the gates to the abandoned town—the town where this hell started—goosebumps adorned my skin. I was staring at the truth, rotting with broken bricks and green mosses. We rode into the sunrise, awaiting whatever came next, beyond the Wall, into the sad, bloodied town.

After galloping to our very own fates, everything happened so quickly.

Horse hooves.

Battle cries.

Sizzling ODM gear.

As Levi scaled himself down the Wall and sheathed his blades through Reiner's being, a weary breath got caught in my throat because the next thing I knew,

lightning struck the earth.

Reiner wasn't dead,

and our battle had just begun.

"Levi..."

Waiting on top of Wall Maria, with the Beast and Armoured Titan cornering us, I stared at him with pleading eyes, praying that he would come back to me.

"See you."

"No...f—fuck...I love you."

He looked straight into my soul, through my heavy conviction and stubborn resolve.

"I love you, Mae."

We had to part ways.

"Let's go, Mae!" Mikasa shouted from behind me.

This moment was what I dreaded most all along. The moment we were unsure whether we'd both survive. The exact reason love on the battlefield was taboo and firmly shamed upon, was because of this exact moment,

but I'd sacrifice everything for you, Levi...

even my own life.

"Did...did we do it?" I whispered, staring at Reiner's limp Titan.

"Oh, hell yeah! That bastard is gone for good!" Jean yelled, pumping his fist into the air.
