    The Day Childhood Ended

    They were too young to understand what the shaking meant.

    At first, it felt like thunder under their feet. The ground rolled. Roof tiles slid. People screamed.

    Then—

    The sky split open.

    A giant face rose over Wall Maria.

    Steam. Flesh. Teeth.

    The Colossal Titan.


    They Were Only Children

    Ages 7 to 10. No weapons. No plans. Just instinct.


    The Separation

    The explosion throws everyone apart.

    Dust blinds them.

    Hands slip.


    Eren, Mikasa, Armin (Canon Path)

    • Mikasa grabs Eren.
    • They run to Eren’s house.
    • Armin is already sprinting the other way—toward his grandfather’s.

    None of them know it yet, but:

    • Carla Yeager will die
    • Armin’s grandfather will never return

    History does not change.


    BINI & Shizumi — Lost in the Chaos

    Screams everywhere.

    Buildings collapsing.

    Adults pushing children forward.


    • Aiah is yelling everyone’s names, voice breaking.
    • Colet plants herself in front of Maloi and Sheena, fists shaking.
    • Maloi Terrified tearing up
    • Gwen grips Sheena’s wrist so hard it hurts.
    • Stacey is crying loudly, calling for Jhoanna.
    • Jhoanna is screaming orders even though she’s the youngest.
    • Mikha refuses to let go of Shizumi.
    • Shizumi doesn’t cry—she just keeps counting heads.

    Until—

    They realize their parents are gone.

    One by one.

    Crushed. Eaten. Lost in the smoke.

    There is no time to grieve.

    Only to run.


    Finding Each Other

    In the middle of the chaos—

    Someone screams a familiar name.

    Then another.

    Then another.

    They find each other in fragments:

    • Aiah pulling Stacey out from rubble
    • Colet dragging Maloi by the wrist
    • Gwen shielding Sheena with her own body
    • Jhoanna bleeding but still standing
    • Mikha clutching Shizumi like she’ll disappear

    They don’t understand what death means yet.

    Only that their parents aren’t coming.


    The Scouts Arrival

    Steel flashes through the smoke.

    Green cloaks.

    ODM cables slicing through the air.

    The Scout Regiment arrives.

    They don’t fight for glory.

    They fight to save what’s left.

    A soldier grabs them, shouting:

    “Kids! This way! NOW!”

    They are lifted. Pulled. Carried.

    None of them look back.


    The Boat — Toward Wall Rose

    The evacuation ship is overcrowded.

    Silent.

    Heavy with grief.


    And then—

    They see each other again.


    The Twelve Reunite

    Eren. Mikasa. Armin.

    BINI. Shizumi.

    All twelve.

    Alive.

    Bruised. Dirty. Traumatized.

    But breathing.

    They don’t cheer. They don’t smile.

    They just collapse together.

    Shizumi sits in the middle. Mikha leans into her. Aiah wraps her arms around the younger ones. Gwen holds Sheena. Stacey grips Jhoanna’s sleeve. Colet presses her forehead to Maloi’s.

    No one speaks.

    The Walls behind them burn.


    Years Later — 104th Cadet Corps

    They will grow up. They will train. They will fight.

    But on that boat—

    They were just children who survived the end of the world together
