There he stood with tattered black wings, encompassed by molted feathers that scattered the plains like dewdrops on a blade of grass. Sedentary, never moving, he was a statue amongst the fluttering leaves and pastures in a world we dubbed, "Earth".
Despair and loneliness enveloped him as if they were his only friends. His emotions had been cast away long before he stepped foot on Earth, his features forever embedded with murderous intent, sadistic pleasure, and a twisted grin that vocalized his passion for bloodshed.
Lips stained and tainted with a familiar, crimson liquid, he reminisced of years forgotten, years wasted, and years regretted. The copper taste of blood washed over his system, yet none could ever compare to the delectable flavor that belonged to a beloved mortal. She, whose life fluid was the pinnacle of a succulent spread, the epitome of a perfect meal, was perhaps just a figment of his imagination now.
Although, without her, he was nothing but a vessel void of a soul, a mere outcast living amidst human beings.
Without her, he was a stone, perpetually sinking in the vast, undiscovered waters of the Pacific Ocean, nothing to secure him of ever witnessing the sun's dazzling rays in his eternal lifetime.
Without her, he was deemed a psychopath, impatiently craving his prey with bated breath, when in actuality, all he wanted was to sink his teeth into her flesh once again.
Years of hard work landed you the crème de la crème lifestyle a doctor within the Walls could ever dream of - a career in Wall Sina. Unfortunately, the snotty ways of the elites left you feeling unfulfilled, prompting you to seek something more meaningful.
You signed up as Military Doctor in the Survey Corps, fighting Titans and healing soldiers. Along the way you made new friends, enemies, and caught the the eye of a particular aloof man in the Corps - Captain Levi himself. Assigned as his personal 'sleep therapist' by Erwin, the Captain seems to be quite taken by your intelligence and witty charms. An unexpected relationship and tension grows, and you found yourself falling for him.
Over time, you question your identity and wonder, are you a doctor first and a soldier second? Or are you willing to go against your values as a doctor and take lives instead of saving them? How far are you willing to bend your moral compass to do things for the 'greater good'?
