Run | Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan

Part One: Run

~~~

Life is a strange thing.

"You know, it's okay to cry. It doesn't mean that you're weak. It just means that you've been strong for too long."

There's the good, and there's the bad.

"And she strikes him down again! Come on, ————, how many times are you gonna let her destroy you?"

"Shut up, ————!"

And along the way, you have to make choices. Choices that could change everything.

"————, what are you doing? Why are you helping him?!"

"Because I don't have a choice. You can't stop him, I can't stop him. And sometimes, you have to become the villain to be the hero."

Was I right? Or was I wrong?

"————! What are you doing? Why are you going with him?"

"... I have my reasons, ————. No... I have no choice." 

Could things have turned out better, had I chosen differently?

To me, 12 years from now...

How are things? I'm not sure what's happening at the moment. I woke up in a strange place, I can't seem to remember anything from before. I don't even know why I'm writing this, but I had a feeling I should.

I think the place I ended up was named Shiganshina District. Something broke through the entrance gate to the outside and what people are calling "Wall Maria".

     I don't know what it was. It was certainly human-shaped, but it didn't look like one. It was taller than the walls.

     I'm scared. Terrified, really. Some soldiers are filling boats with people and moving them further inside the wall. I heard someone say "Wall Rose"? Are there more walls? If so, how many walls are there?

     Anyways, I have to go now. Thanks for reading, if this ever gets to you.
