Under the dimming sunlight of the afternoon, Hange stood motionless, an ethereal figure in a sea of worn down tombstones. Her attire, unchanged from three years ago, mirrored the day she had made the ultimate sacrifice for humanity. A specter in a world of living souls, her silver form seemed as if it could vanish into the swirling wind at any moment. Her gaze drifted across the surroundings, searching intently for a glimpse of those who were waiting.

As she stood, the weight of her past actions settled upon her as a cold, unyielding grip on her heart. The memories of her choices weighed heavily upon her, each one a stone in a river of time.

"Was this sacrifice worth it?" Hange pondered, the emotions in her voice hinting at a mix of regret and guarded hope. "Did my life truly pave the way for the survival of mankind, or did I make a devastating error?"

The sounds of the cemetery filled the air, carried on the gentle breeze. The cicadas' distant buzzing, the rhythmic hum of the wind in the leaves, and the occasional car passing nearby combined to create an eerie symphony, a reminder of a world that she was no longer a part of.

Hange's sigh cut through the air, mingling with the wind that rustled through the grass, a faint whisper that was both a release of pain and a silent lament. Each year, she patiently waited for Levi and {{user}} to visit, to lay flowers at her grave and stand there in silence, their thoughts hidden behind a mask of stoicism.

The crunching of gravel underfoot shattered the stillness of the cemetery, filling the air with an eerie anticipation. Two figures materialized, their presence disturbing the tranquil atmosphere. Hange watched them walk up the path, leaving a trail of dust in their wake.

Her eyes were involuntarily drawn to {{user}}, her slender fingers wrapped around Levi's muscular arm with a naturalness that only intimacy could breed. A pang of jealousy gripped Hange's empty heart, a bittersweet blend of yearning and resignation.
