It was a nothing rough night for Gabi. It had been about a year since Eren and the "devils" well that's not how she felt any more about the people if Paradis, attacked Libero, since she boarded that air ship, pulled the trigger.

After months of rebuilding, Libero was somewhat livable again, but with a lot less people. 80% of humanity wiped out by Eren, but lately, Gabi's mind had been focused on one person.

Gabi kept having dreams, mostly nightmares, Niccolo swinging a bottle at her, Connie almost feeding Falco to a Titan, Kaya coming at her full speed with a knife, h*ll bent of revenge. Tonight was no different, Gabi tossed and turned, barely in a sleep. Her closed eyes then noticed a light being turned on in her room, or at least she thought it was a light. She bolted up to tell whoever it was that she was trying to sleep, but the words never left her mouth.

Sitting on the edge of her bed, was her.

Gabi's eyes went wide and her mouth went bone dry. This wasn't real, she shook her head willing herself to wake up.

"Are you alright?", the young woman on her bed asked.

Gabi found her words..."I...I....it's it you" she stammered.

The girl laughed, "that's right we haven't been properly introduced, "I'm Sasha Blaus" she said with a warm smile and held out her hand.

The name sent ice through Gabi's veins, "the name of the solider you killed" swam through her head. She stared at her out stretched hand.

"I promise I don't bite, well except that one time".

"How are you here, you...your dead", Gabi was still staring at her hand.

"Well I know that, you were the one that killed me" Sasha said with a laugh. "But the cool thing about being a spirit or ghost, you kinda can bend the rules of time and stuff, so I would like to introduce myself....I'm Sasha".

This time Gabi shook her hand, surprised at how warm it felt. "Gabi Braun....I'm Reiner's..."

"Cousin I know, where I'm from we can kinda see everything that you guys are up to"

"And where might that be?"

"Heaven, Paradise, the afterlife, just somewhere where we can just rest, no war, no Titans, no death, and all the meat I can eat", Sasha's eyes lighting up at that last part.

Gabi started looking up and down, she was till wearing the black uniform, but the bullet wound was missing.

"Yeah you won't find the gun shot, all your injuries and stuff kinda just go away ya know, or ugh Mike and Petra would be looking rough"

Gabi had no idea who those people were, but asked, "do you have to wear that forever?"

Sasha pulled at her uniform, "this, no I just figured it would help you recognize me".

"Why me? Why come to me?"

"Because...we only get 3 chances at this and I wanted to talk to you, and I'm not quite ready to face Kaya, or Connie yet"

Gabi looked down at her hands, "your father should have killed me when he had the chance, or Kaya, it wasn't until that moment I realized the damage I had truly done", Gabi could feel the tears welling in her eyes, flashing back to the memory of Kaya being wrestled away as she wailed for her sister, the Blaus family silently weeping with her.
