*Mikasa's POV*

     With everything Eren had witnessed last night, it was obvious we didn't go to dinner. Instead, I comforted him in my apartment with cookies and Netflix. Eren had decided to sleep on the couch, even though there was a spare room in which used to be Armin's, but is empty since he's living with Jean for the time being. I rolled over in my bed, facing my mirror and dresser.

"Eren, are you up?" I yelled. Checking my phone, it was 9:07 am on a Monday. Hearing no response, I decided to crawl out of bed and go check on him.

"Eren?" I asked aloud once more, looking on the couch to find him cuddled up with Otto's favorite plushie he'd brought over.

     He was still sound asleep, which proved itself when someone knocked on my door. It was Armin, accompanied by Jean. He motioned me into the hall, to which I kept my door lightly cracked in case Eren woke up.

"Armin, Jean. What is it?" I asked the pair in front of me.

"The police are coming over today. I figure we could take Eren out on the town to keep him occupied, you know? A huge part of me doesn't think he needs to see this." Armin rubbed his neck, glancing at me with his blue eyes.

"I think that's a great idea. Let me wake him up. I called his manager at Starbucks, Lizabeth, and told her the scoop. He's on paid leave for a while, until its all cleared up. Come in?" I opened my door for the two, to which Jean nodded and said thanks.

"Mikasa, where's your bathroom?" Jean looked around, whispering.

"Down the hall, last on the right by the linen closet." I pointed, and he followed.

     Sitting on my knees, I placed myself directly in front of my brother's sleeping face, the plushie nestled under his chin. Placing my palm on his arm, I began to move him back and forth gently, in an attempt to wake him up. 

"Eren...Eren...it's time to wake up." I whispered, but loud enough that his eyes finally peeled apart.

"M-Mikasa...what is it?" He groaned, rubbing his eyes.

"We're going to take you out on the town today. Get dressed, yeah?" Armin chimed in, sitting in a chair adjacent from his friend.

"Sure..." Eren slowly forced himself up, trudging to the spare room where his clothes were kept.

"So...Mikasa, what do you have in plan? He's your brother, after all. What makes him happy?" Armin laid back on the couch, as Jean came down the hallway.

"Was thinking we could take him to the mall...also, Barnes & Noble. Get some lunch, too, while we're at it." Running a hand through my black hair, I sighed at the situation I was placed with.

"There's a really nice café shop near the mall, we could try that." Jean added, to which I nodded in agreement.

"Okay, guys. I'm ready." Eren mumbled, standing behind the couch.

"Alright, let's head out." I grabbed my keys from a bowl by the door, and we were off.

     As we got in the elevator, the little TV that showed the morning news was currently on the weather. It showed lots of greens, oranges, and reds on the map. Great, depressing weather. As we made it to the lobby, all we could hear was booming thunder and flashes of lightning on a rather overcast sky. We ran out to the parking deck, where my Charger was parked. As we all climbed in, I asked what everyone's music preferences were.
