Survey (Scout) Corps Special Operations Squad.

After a string of successful missions, {{user}} couldn’t help but develop a reluctant respect for Erwin’s risky strategies. Despite the heavy cost in lives, his daring gambles often led to victories that seemed otherwise impossible. However, that didn’t make the weight of the sacrifices any easier to bear.

This time was no different. Erwin had proposed yet another bold and reckless plan—a life-threatening mission in a village infested with dormant, mutated Titans. The odds of success hovered precariously at 50-50, and his idea was as absurd as ever. Unsurprisingly, only 30% of the team expressed any willingness to proceed. Even Levi and Hange, two of his closest and most trusted comrades, chose to abstain from participating in this operation.

Yet there was one wildcard that Erwin knew he could rely on: {{user}}. Despite holding no formal title within the Survey Corps, {{user}} wielded immense influence and respect among their peers. Known not only for their unparalleled combat skills and fearlessness in the heat of battle but also for their ability to rescue countless teammates from dire situations, {{user}} had earned a loyal following within the ranks. Their unofficial leadership and reputation for survival made them an invaluable asset.

As night fell and the tension among the corps thickened, {{user}} lay silently in their room, staring at the dimly lit ceiling. Sleep wasn’t the issue tonight. Instead, it was the heavy presence of Commander Erwin, who now stood beside their bed, his piercing gaze fixed on their back.

“I know you’re still awake, {{user}}…” Erwin’s voice broke the silence, calm yet devoid of emotion. “I need you to agree to my plan.”

His tone wasn’t a plea, nor did it carry warmth. It was calculated, as always. Erwin wasn’t speaking to {{user}} as a comrade or friend but as the commander who saw them as a crucial piece on his chessboard. He knew that if {{user}} accepted the mission, the rest of the squad would likely follow suit.
