(Hey everyone! Apologies for going off the map! I went into a new stage of life that I absolutely was not expecting to be so time consuming! I also wanted to pay special attention to Erwin since he is definitely one of the most important and prominent love interests in this story. )

If you feel I could've done better, let me know. With that please leave a comment and vote, enjoy!

      A man felt as if he was floating. He could tell his thoughts were fuzzy and incoherent. He couldn't remember what he was doing before this. Even so, there was no helping his disorientation. He felt neither cold nor warm, but rather numb. A curiosity overwhelmed him of what was happening.

     His world of blurriness slowly shifted to that of a classroom. A man with blond hair and spectacled blue eyes. A sensation in his left arm raised it subconsciously.

     "Ť̸̩e̴̫̾a̴̬͝c̵̹͆h̶̰̀e̸̳͊r̴̻͋.̵͖́.̸̗̋.̴͇͐ ̵̫̍H̷̓ͅȏ̶̞w̵̫̅'̷͚̏ď̶̦ ̸̻̂ỷ̵̝o̵̤͝u̴͖̔ ̶̺̚f̷̡̍i̶̻͋n̷͂͜d̸̗͐ ̵̰̔o̸̺͂u̶͈͆t̸͓͑ ̶̫̉t̸̹̓h̶̦̃a̶̞̕t̶̙̊ ̴͎̊t̴̙̒h̴̗͒e̷͖̽ŷ̷̖ ̴̬̄d̸̯̉ơ̸̗n̴̳͝'̶̥̀t̷͇̽ ̷̦̆e̴̹͂x̶̲͘i̶̭̽ṣ̵̛ţ̸́?̶̜̚" His younger voice asked.

     The vision paused as he heard two very familiar voices calling out to him. It blurred together into a another hazy image. Two small figures were in front of him, very bloody and grubby. Surely, those two must be the owners of those voices?

      "E̷̻̜͖͚̐̉̿r̶̡͖̿̍͂̈́͆w̵̧̖̠̯̺̍i̶͉͙̟̇̀̽̔͋ņ̶̹̪͎̥̉͋̚!̴͚̼̫̻̺̽͊͛͒̃?̵̳͕͚͐" The two voices exclaimed. He could swear he knew them, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

      One of the figures suddenly stood up. "I̶͍̓͐ ̵͉͌͝c̴̛̭͐ǎ̴̰̆n̶̘͆̓ ̷͔̘͛ș̴̅ȧ̷̲v̵̫̔e̸͓̲̊ ̸̲̂͆E̴̯͝r̵͖͆̓w̸̦̯̉̅ỉ̵̢̤ṋ̶̽.̴͉̩͂͝ ̴̦̇̂N̸̯̈ö̴̥́̌,̵̰̼̿͒ ̷̰̜̒̿I̷͉̱̓ ̷͉̑̎w̷̝̣̽͗i̶͚̹̇̏l̸̜͂̂l̸͓̦͘!̷̲̄"

     Erwin, in the unfamiliar setting, outstretched his hand in hopes of reaching the standing one. Unfortunately, it was clear his physical body refused to do the same. The image then disappeared.

     Then, he was shown the final image. It was the woman who he so dearly loved. Her expression was one of great concern and panic. I know who you are... Why do you look so distressed, Y/n? He wanted to reach out and hold her cheek and tell her everything will be alright. Why won't my body obey me? Universe, give me the strength to talk to her.

     "Y/n..." He mustered, all his strength evaporating shortly after. His efforts were worth it because it caused her to smile.

      "Don't speak. The anointments are doing their job. Just rest." The beautiful woman assured, her entire form visibly relaxing.

      The scene then fell into black.

      Erwin opened his eyes, his head pounding and the world around him spinning. There was an immense amount of steam hanging about in the air. As his brain caught up with taking in the environment, a heavy pat on his shoulder startled him.

     "Hey, there, Commander!" A feminine voice declared. She had short, wavy champagne colored hair. She clearly saw his confusion. "You're in what is basically the Shiganshina District. You were turned into a titan and I suppose the survey corps and Marley warriors fixed everything somehow."
