Behind these walls | Eren x Reader

Modern Au.

Y/n always knew something wasn't right about her mother's life.

The late nights, the bruised hands, the hushed conversations on the phone. She didn't ask questions, afraid of the answers.

But when their grandfather told her and levi that their mother was gone, the unease she'd felt her whole life turned into something heavier.

Memories of her mother's warning about the bad people in the world and the cold weight of a gun in her hands haunted her.

Now, every shadow feels threatening, every creak in the house too loud. Levi keeps his distance, but y/n can't shake the feeling that their mother's secrets didn't die with her and that the world she tried to protect them from is closer than ever.
