Footsteps echo off the stone walls, approaching him at a steady pace. Eren sighs and hangs his head, preparing for another earful. There are times when he finds himself wishing for company, even if he brought this upon himself, but the last thing he needs right now is more shit from Commander Hange or Captain Levi.

The person comes into view, and it's neither of who he expected. Standing in front of the bars is none other than {{user}}, someone he's trained with since their days in the cadet corps. They look tired, with heavy bags sitting under their narrowed eyes.

"Why are you here?" Eren mutters, turning his face away from them. He stares at his reflection in the mirror, and the man who stares back isn't someone he recognizes. A shell of who he once was, clad with grief and anger.
