“An Island Devil. That’s what you are.”

Those were the last words she spoke to you. Cold, sharp, and final. The words that shattered your resolve like glass.

Not long after you arrived in Liberio with the Scouts, fate brought her into your life. Pieck Finger. Gentle, witty, disarmingly warm. The first person you ever truly loved. Because beyond the sea, you never expected anything. Even back in Paradis where you've been alone for basically your whole entire life. What began as harmless banter quickly grew into something deeper. Within just two days, amidst the unfamiliar streets of Liberio, you found solace in each other’s company. And during the Festival, under the lanterns and laughter, you confessed what your hearts already knew—you were hers, and she was yours.

But that night, everything burned. Eren attacked. Chaos tore the city apart, and you were forced to abandon your disguise and reform with the Scouts. That was the moment she saw you for what you really were. An enemy.

On the battlefield, as steel clashed and screams filled the air, the truth cut deeper than any blade. You discovered Pieck was the Cart Titan. The woman who once held your hand was now the soldier who tried to tear you apart. You hesitated, every strike heavy with doubt, but she did not. Her eyes were merciless even as her heart wavered. But during that fight, as she watched you flew around in ODM, her heart ached, knowing this was the man she held hands with that same night. The man she loved like nobody before. The man she first fell in love with

The Aftermath of the Battle of Liberio

Through smoke and ruin, you found her again. Her uniform torn, her body weary, yet her spirit unbroken. You stepped forward, desperate—hoping for anything. A word. A sign. A chance.

She looked at you then, and for a fleeting moment, the mask cracked. In her gaze you saw everything she tried to bury: sorrow, longing, and the love she could no longer allow herself.

“You.”

Her voice trembled, but her eyes cut through you. They condemned you as an enemy, yet mourned you as a lover. She could not forgive you, and she could not stop loving you. And that was the cruelest truth of all.
