[Eren Jaeger's cage is properly dark now. For more than a brief moment, he feels like a little kid again. Chest heaving for breath, he falls back against one of the cell walls and slides to the ground in a heap, exhaustion rushing back into his veins like lead. It would be useless to keep transforming. He knows that deep down. Still, the impulse to chew himself out of the trap feels inhumanly strong.
[He's terrified.
[He's been detained before, but never like this; always under the pretense that he could escape the second he needed to. Slumped over in this room, he may as well have a chain around his throat, tethering him to the floor.
[Aubrey. How could she leave him like this? After everything she said; after everything they've been through. Shouldn't it matter more than cruel worlds? Maybe not. It's all beginning to feel a bit too much like betrayal, but...Eren's never been eager to accept something like that.
[Bringing his knees up to his chest, he curls himself around them, fingers tugging at his hair.]

Where are you?
