Eren Jaeger stood alone in the moonlit ruins of Shiganshina, the echoes of his past clawing at his mind like unseen specters. The cold wind carried whispers of fallen comrades, their voices blending with the relentless drum of his heartbeat. His fists clenched as he glared into the abyss before him—an abyss that stared back, filled with Titans and something darker.

"Save me if I become my demons..."

The words from an old song he'd once heard resurfaced in his thoughts. But who could save him now? With each battle, each sacrifice, the line between hero and monster blurred. Was he fighting for freedom, or had he become enslaved by his own hatred?

Lightning crackled around him as he prepared to shift, but even as the Titan within surged forth, the real war was raging inside his soul.
