'Im back at home, what am I doing here?' I get up to search the house there is a strange emptiness, I hear a noise coming from the other room quickly I got to investigate but no one is there. I'm hearing muffled voices, I hear jean "... J-Jean... Is that you?" My world turns black once again but this time for only a split second when my vision clears once again, I see I am very high up like I'm on a roof of some kind. I look around and see several other soldiers they all seem to be looking at me, I only recognise one... Jean. As I study them a bit closer I see they all have a intense fear in there eyes seemingly directed at me. I don't understand.
Suddenly jean and the girl to my left come flying at me and I realise where their fear is coming from. I'm not on a roof 10 meters up but I am 10 meters I am a titan, I am the thing I and many others fear the most. I barely have enough time to react so instead prepare my self to die I close my eyes and get ready for jean and that little blonde girls swords to slice through the nape of my neck, not sure if as a titan I will feel pain or not. I need to see jean one more time though, my eyes shoot open and meets jeans, his face turning from pure anger and hatred to confusion he looks almost sad, this distraction caused him to crash in to the girl sending them both hurdling towards the ground.
Out of instinct I reach out and catch them both placing them to the ground as gently as I can. The girl seems to be knocked out but I can tell she is still alive her friend comes over grabs her and yells to jean "what the hell was that?" Tears streaming down her cheek. Jean acknowledges her with a head bob but doesn't respond, he's starring at me. The girl, now on the roof holding her friend yells down to jean " hey are you trying to get yourself killed get out of there". He snaps out of his trance and realises he only meters away from a titan and starts to back up until his back is against the red brick of the building but he doesn't leave. Once again the girl yells down to him " jean I need to take adalia somewhere safe, please come" she runs off towards the wall. He seems not to notice her and keeps looking at me almost as if he is studying me. I try to show I mean no threat by crouching and offering my hand as if I was trying to pet a stray cat, this only makes him jump, so I back up instead. We sit staring at each other for what seems like hours.
A shrill scream breaks the silence and I recognise it as the girl from before she's flying down at me her blades drawn, "NO I DONT WANT TO HURT ANY ONE PLEASE I DONT WANT TO DIE YET" I scream but it only come out as a inhuman screech, I panic turn around and swat at her my hand connecting with her body sending her smashing into the already bloodied street below. She lays her body twisted and contorted on the ground just like her friend was only a short time ago, only now she is not going to be getting up again. I reach for her to see if I can help her in any way but before I can touch her I feel something slice through my hand yet I feel no pain, it's jean.
I watch as he cuts off my hand, his eyes filled with rage and tears pouring down his face, I have lost all trust I may have gained In The past hour or so. I stand up towering over jean I watch as he hugs the lifeless body of his friend, tilting his head to scream a mournful wail into the heavens above. I can't take it, I caused him so much pain, I turn my head away from the scene below and then run off finding a secluded place to sit and eventually slip into a deep slumber.
