Title: to you in 2000 years/ the fall of shiganshina part 1
"Oh. This." muttered Eren
"What do you mean cadet?" Asked the captain.
"It's the day that-" Eren can't finish without feeling like he's gonna burst into tears.
[The episode begins with the focus on birds redirecting back and forth between the citizens (staring in amazement at the sky) of the inner town of the Wall Maria. The birds fly past a huge hand and Eren begins the introduction]
"Oh, the day Wall Maria fell." uttered Levi.
"Did ya say somethin' pipsqueak?" asked Kenny, drawing everyone's attention.
"No. And don't call me pipsqueak again. You know damn well why I'm small."
EREN: On that day, mankind received a grim reminder [Shadow hovers over the town]...of the terror of being at their mercy... [giant, skin-lacking hand appears]...of the humiliation of being trapped inside a cage... We lived in fear of Titans, and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls.
[Scene switches to the Forest of Giant Trees with the Survey Corps on galloping horses]
COMMANDER: All soldiers prepare for battle! There's only one target! We will exterminate it and claim this spot as humanity's first stronghold beyond the walls!
SOLDIER: Target approaching!
[Shows Titan walking. Commander makes hand signal]
COMMANDER: Split into fives groups just as we practiced! We'll act as the bait! All assault squads switch to omni-directional gear!!
[Soldiers are lifted off their horses by the omni-directional gear and traverse landscape using the giant trees. They surround the Titan.]
COMMANDER: Strike from all directions at once!
SOLDIER: [flies toward the nape of the neck, spinning with both swords in hand like a propeller] Taste the power...of humanity!
[A slice is heard and the screen goes black. Theme song plays - Crimson bow and arrow. Beautiful purple flowers under the sun are presented and then blood splatters and taints. Open mouth is shown; a mans body lays on the ground with blood on his face and is then lifted; a small house is shown in a sunlit plain; Titans appear around it; a in-house fireplace is shown; bloody face; a room filled with child's toys; an eye with a bee around the sclera; more blood gushes; giant teeth are shown; giant hands pick up a body. Eren wakes up. Two birds fly in the air. Mikasa is kneeling down looking at him as his head rests on a tree in a plain]
"What the fuck?!" yelled Connie.
"Eren, you have some weird dreams. Especially for a suicidal maniac."
"Oh, shut up horseface! Also, I couldn't even remember my dream... was that really what it was about?"
EREN: Huh? Mikasa...
MIKASA: We should be getting back.
EREN: What are we doing here...?
MIKASA: You were that deep asleep that you're still only half awake?
EREN: No... It just feels like I had this really long dream or something... What was it about? I can't remember.
[Mikasa stands up with fire wood carrier on her back]
MIKASA: Eren, why are you crying?
EREN: Huh?
[touches face]
