In the depths of the Underground, survival is everything-and kindness is a liability. When a feral, sharp-tongued girl crosses paths with Levi Ackerman, neither expects the other to become necessary. Six years apart in age and worlds away from safety, they form an unspoken bond built on stolen food, shared silence, and the brutal understanding of what it takes to stay alive.

Then she's taken.

Years later, after loss, war, and a vow to fight for humanity's future, Y/N joins the Scout Regiment alongside Eren Yeager and his friends-never imagining the past would find her on the battlefield. But during the chaos of Trost, Levi sees her again.

Alive.

For Levi, the girl he failed to protect has returned. For Y/N, the man she never stopped missing stands between her and everything she stands to lose.

Some bonds don't break.
They sharpen.
