The wall... the wall is gone... the titans are everywhere, there's bloodshed, screaming and destruction everywhere Eren's eyes go... Eren sees a familiar face amongst the wreckage...
"Mom!" Eren runs straight ahead without thinking, in an instant... A titan stands before them... Eren stands covered in blood, his mothers blood. He screams his anguish and is suddenly facing another gruesome scene. Mikasa is trapped, Armin is trying to pull her from the rubble...
The blood rains down... Eren is covered in Mikasa's blood, Armins blood, his mothers blood.
He falls to his knees, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, he's watching everyone die and he is helpless. The scene resets, from the beginning... It's only more painful. Eren can't bear it, he feels like he is going mad... the final scene approaches as it resets, Eren... Eren is the titan killing everyone, the one causing unrivalled destruction... The gruesome visage begins again, with Eren watching it all... He's ripping apart their bodies, listening to their screaming, their last words and seeing the tears on their faces twisted in a horrific fear... Mikasa, Armin, Mom...
Eren wakes up, sitting straight up with nausea causing a pitfall in his stomach... He is shaking, drenched in sweat and crying...
"It was that dream again....why...why is it always that dream" Eren asks himself, he sits and pulls his knees to his chest as he cries... It's getting worse.
Generally that dream would only come now and then, lately it's been every night... There's no getting used to it, it's only more painful every time he experiences it. But another arising problem, is the fact that the nightmares have forced his sleeping patterns to become shoddy... Sleep depravation, intense training, titan training and the average cleaning/chores around the compound have just been leading to an even greater exhaustion.
The dark circles have not been complimenting his face either...But he can't hold everyone back, least of all Captain Levi...
Eren didn't realize whilst cleaning the windows he began nodding off, he was quickly brought back to reality by the sound of Captain Levi making his rounds to check on everyone's cleaning...The policy is that it is not clean unless it is cleaned to Captain Levi's standard of minimum hygiene...Although most people would call his 'minimum hygiene' meticulous and maybe the acronym OCD floats around a bit.
Eren went back over a few times making sure the window was cleaned to Captain Levi's satisfaction when he went to continue on the rest of the windows... Eren was walking and trying to battle his dizziness, however, the dizziness won and Eren lost his balance. Still aware that he was under the captains' gaze, he quickly stood up and picked up the spilt bucket of water, using this as an excuse to fetch more water.
Captain Levi watched as Eren made his way out of the room, walking carefully to prevent falling over again... He hasn't been himself lately, emotionally and physically he seems to be suffering from symptoms of sleep depravation, exhaustion and fatigue.
The day ended and everyone was sitting around, eating and talking, Eren excused himself without eating and went back to his room.
"Captain, something seems wrong with Eren" Hange said as she and Captain Levi watched him walk away
"You've noticed as well, then?" Captain Levi replied
"He's been out of sorts, showing signs of exhaustion as well" Hange continued
"I've noticed, he fell over from carrying a bucket of water" Captain Levi scoffed
"I never expected anyone to keel over from cleaning a few windows" Levi continued
