Dawn came by quick. The golden sunrise in the sky brings us a frisson and in the honeyed light of the day, life was peaceful. I hadn't thought about the letter ever since last night. I decided to make a new one instead.

I grabbed my dark brown cloak and headed outside to take a small stroll around the area. It felt a bit poignant looking at each flower buried down at a small patch of grass. It made me smile, for once.

Third Person

Meanwhile..At the other side, resides a blonde haired man, practicing with his comrade outside. When a midnight raven came flying by, with a scroll in its beak.

No one else saw it fly. As he reached near the campsite, he dropped the scroll down to the ground and continued to fly by.

Armin stepped back in amusement of his comrade's talents in using the ODM gear—stepping on the letter, making it emit a crinkle sound which caught him off guard. He examined what was underneath his foot and found a mushed up scroll covered in dirt.

Confused and curious, he picked up the scroll and opened it as gently as possible. It read, "Dear Whomever, My name is Y/N L/N. I wrote this letter in hopes of another finding it. The walls that encases this town makes me feel trapped, and I wonder if you're the same as well? In love with the outside world and quenching for an adventure. How about you? Is your place any different?"

He smiled at the letter, but as he wanted to examine it more, a familiar voice called out. "Armin, let's go."

He nodded in response, pocketing the letter and following the short haired woman.

Later that night, when the moon shone upon each sycamore tree, the star shower had befallen that evening—Armin had went to his room to write back a letter for the stranger. And as soon as he finished, he called out for the midnight raven to deliver his reply.

The raven cawed aloud, snatching the scroll away from his hands and flying towards the other side of the moon.

First Person

The raven came by as a dazzling shooting star that could make all dreams come true, he dropped the letter by my windowsill and left in a hurry. In the light of the moment, I stepped forward and grabbed the letter to quickly open it with no hesitation.

It had said, "Dear Whomever, When I first saw this letter, it was covered in dirt. The knot of the string had loosened, but looks can deceive so I opened it up out of curiosity and found myself hooked into what I had read.

Our place is encased as well, with magnificent walls that help keep out all Titans. I feel it may be a bit tougher on my side, I have to fight in many wars and lose the people that I love. But this job is about losing a lot and slowly, we would come to accept that. How about you?"

I was enlightened to see a reply, as even though I don't know who this belonged to. I am happy that I am not alone and that there are people beyond the walls! This is eye opening. I thought I would lose all hopes.

Third Person

And so, Y/N wrote another letter replying to this Stranger's reply.

The Earth holds many secrets within its core. There are many things to uncover as you have just begun digging the dirt.
