[Titans swarm in the distance, swallowing crushed bodies while Scouts scream and beg for their mothers. Eren's hands grasp at nothing, finding only grass and dirt beneath him. He can't speak, let alone scream. He's gasping for breath, but only ends up choking on blood. His body is crushed, his heart beating slow. He isn't healing fast enough - isn't healing at all.
[In the distance, Armin and Mikasa are only two more bodies on the ground.
[He groans in pain, tears stinging his eyes. He tries to breathe, but he isn't. He's dying, he's dying, he's dying - "I don't want to die like this." He imagines a clean cut to the neck instead; finish him off quickly, don't let him be eaten, don't let him be crushed, crushed, crushed, he's crushed, his body is crushed.
["I'm sorry, I'm sorry - Aubrey, I'm sorry." But he can't make words. He's still vomiting blood.]
Why can't you just stay with me? Why can't you just live? You, idiot.
[His eyes pop open. Aubrey is kneeling, crying and swearing.
[There are titans everywhere, coming from all directions. The earth rumbles. "She'll die, she'll die, she'll die."]
Neither of us are dying. [She grabs Eren by his collar, but releases it quickly to cradle his head instead.]
Come back. Drop the goddamn horse. We don't have to worry about this anymore.
You said you'd live for me. Quit trying to die.
[He's crying. There's no way to stop it. It's all inevitable. Aubrey will be crushed. In the distance, his Founding Titan, all spine and bones.
["Not her, not her..."]
Eren...
I'm going to take us somewhere else now.
[Her hand ghosts over his cheek, runs through his hair.
2/3 - a dream (cw: gore, horror, etc.)
[He's dying, and it's terrifying.
