Another Ackerman

Final Chapter: Epilogue (Lilith Route)

Y/N safely lands on the ground with the help of his maneuvering gear hanging onto Eren's falling Titan.

Y/N stares at Mikasa and Armin crying over Eren's head, Gabi and Falco hugging each other with tears in their eyes, Pieck and Annie reuniting with their Father, Reiner reuniting with his mother, and Connie and Jean patting each other's backs.

Y/N while holding his stomach, tries to walk to Levi who was sitting on the ground, but he fell.

"Y/N!" Lilith called while running to him

Lilith helps Y/N stand up

"... Let me be alone for a moment." Y/N smiled

"Sure." Lilith smiled

Y/N walks alone until he was out of sight

"Petra... you saw everything we did, didn't you?" Y/N asked while holding Petra's necklace

"I hope you did..." Y/N said

Y/N knelt to the ground until steam reached him.

"Steam?" Y/N said

Out of nowhere, Noelle, his Former Squad members, Petra, and his parents appeared in the steam while saluting at him.

"Everyone..." Y/N started tearing up

"I... can let it all out now, right?" Y/N asked while smiling and they nodded

"Thank you..." Y/N said and he started crying

"Took you long before you let it all out." Levi said

"Yeah. How long is it?" Lilith asked

They look around them and they were surrounded by their dead comrades in the Scouts saluting at them. They all salute back while tearing up and smiling.

"Thank you... for showing us what we dedicated our hearts for." Their late comrades in the Scouts said at the same time

Three years have passed since that day which was called "The Battle of Heaven and Earth." The people who have faced tremendous loss in life yet survived must be suffering from mental scars that won't heal. As the world mourns it's losses amidst anxiety and uneasiness, the Nation of Eldia formed an army under the Jaegerists and is focusing on strengthening their military forces. Fearing the retaliation of the remnants of the humans who survived on the other side of the ocean. The people of the isladn raise their voices in unison.

"If we win, we live. If we lose, we die. If we don't fight, we can't win. Fight. Fight.""

This fight won't ever end until either the Eldians or the rest of the world is wiped out. Maybe what Eren had said was right. Even so, Eren chose to entrust us with the future of this world. As we live...

Y/N was walking down a stairs and he saw Gabi carrying Y/N's daughter, Petra, who was named after his late lover.

"Daddy!" Petra smiled

Gabi lets Petra down from her back and Petra ran to Y/N.

"Did Daddy just wake up?" Petra asked

"Yes, that's right." Y/N smiled

"I'll be following after Falco to help him in the orphan now, Y/N-san." Gabi said

"Okay." Y/N said, carrying Petra

"Where's Mommy?" Petra asked

"Why not let's go wake her up?" Y/N asked

"Let's go!" Petra smiled

Y/N went back upstairs and lightly shook a woman laying on his bed.

"Lilith, wake up." Y/N said

"Wake up, Mommy!" Petra said

"Yes, anything for my sweet daughter and husband!" Lilith woke up, smiling

Lilith kisses Y/N and Petra just covers her eyes. After Lilith kissed Y/N, Petra grabs her hand.

"What about me, Mommy?" Petra asked

"Of course you'll get one!" Lilith kissed Petra's forehead and Petra smiles

In some place, Petra and Levi Squad were watching Y/N and his family.

"Must be nice." Petra smiled

"You're happy for them?" Gunther asked

"Of course I'm happy for them. They finally let go of the past." Petra said while wiping her tears

"Yeah. Y/N also lets his emotions out now." Eld said

"They're living a happy life. This... is what we dedicated our hearts for." Noelle said

"Petra, will you be with me forever in the after life?" Oluo asked

"No! I'm still... in love with Y/N..." Petra said

"Yeah. Same..." Noelle hugs Petra

"I wish I could be with them on my next life..." Petra said, hugging Noelle back

Y/N felt a hand on his shoulder and looked behind him, but saw no one.

"Thank you, Eren. For the life you gave us." Y/N said in his thoughts while looking at a bird
