"Now I understand why you did that."

"I know you were only trying to save the world..."

"You had no other choice."

"So, I guess you already know why I'm here."

"But where has Falco gone?! Almost everyone is here, even his brother." Gabi speaks to me somewhat angrily.

"Don't worry, Gabi, he'll come. Maybe he's doing something important." Zofia replies to her.

"More important than the speech to put an end to Paradis once and for all, huh? Impossible, that kid..."

The others laugh, knowing that deep down she cares a lot about him. Even I do too. For some reason, I feel hopeful. I want to go back to Paradis, I want to see her again.

Yes, at first, I would have liked to forget her completely but... I couldn't.

After so many years, I am still the same.

Still the same soldier deep down.

So, I would like to see her one last time, whatever the circumstances, and tell her how I really feel.

To put an end to everything once and for all.

I don't think her rejection would hurt more than not having been able to see her all these years...

"Vice-Captain!"

I hear the voice of young Falco calling me urgently; it seems he came running. I greet him.

"Please come with me, there's an old friend who wants to see you." He smiles from ear to ear.

An old friend? I don't really understand who he could be referring to, but he looks very excited, so I think I'll go. There's still some time before the speech starts.

"Sure, Falco. But who is it?"

"It's a surprise!"

And as cheerful as before, he leads me towards that person.

No

No

It can't be

It can't be him

How is he here?

It's... impossible

...

"Long time no see, Reiner."

"Eren..."

...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He asked me to sit in the chair to talk, but I don't want to talk. Honestly, I can't find the words; I am... completely lost.

Right now, only one thing crosses my mind. Thinking that everyone else is also here and they have come to...

"Now I understand why you did that."

"I know you were only trying to save the world..."

"You had no other choice."
