A choice
The Scouts were sitting down listening to Kiyomi, discussing multiple plans to make peace with Marley. Mikasa scanned the room and noticed someone was missing, as she stood up, causing everyone to look at her.
"Hey, guys? Where's Eren?"
Far away, Eren was wandering the streets that were filled with people whose lives were untouched and free. He felt so conflicted with what he was going to do in the future that was fast approaching. He didn't tell the others about his vision. How could he? He didn't know for certain if they were real. So he wanted to try everything to prevent this outcome. Even though, it seemed like the only logical choice to him.
He was starting to think like a killer, how he'd go about it, how many Titans to use. It was driving him mad. He thought about what his mother would think of him. Would she agree? He then heard some yelling in the alley that was to his right, and looking down it to see that boy from the market. He remembered in his memories, that he was supposed to save him. Only for him to die a much more painful death later on.
The abusers were laughing seeing Ramzi trying to put up a fight, but were halted by Eren, who was just standing there with a frazzled face.
"Beat it. This brat stole our money and we're simply showing him a lesson. It doesn't concern you!"
"Yeah... you're right." Eren then turned around and began to walk away, as he heard the boy calling out for help. Eren had no right to help since he'd be slaughtering all of humanity anyway. Who was he to seek justice? No matter how hard he fought it, his instincts took over and he turned back around and subdued them.
After dealing with the ruthless thugs, Eren took Ramzi back to where he lived. Eren set him down, as he looked down to the little shelter camp, seeing all of the families and children who were living without a home. He felt his heart ache at this sight, reminding him of his childhood, sleeping in a cold building with only a blanket to keep him warm.
He started to feel worse about himself, and the man he was becoming. Like Reiner. No, worse than him. He put his hands on Ramzi's shoulders, his eyes welling up with tears, beginning to break down.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"H-huh? Why're you crying Mr?"
Elsewhere in the city, the others were searching for Eren. They hadn't a clue where he would've gone, so they split off into teams. Levi, Hange and Jean took the market. Armin, Connie and Sasha went to the bay. Mikasa went off by herself, away from the city and went into the forests. Her mind was racing, thinking he might've been captured by the enemy.
