[ In a dream office, seated on his desk watching an unfamiliar face lingering near the doorway–

Across a dinner table, taking notes and teaching him to breathe–

On the edges of the woods, a bird perched on his shoulder–

In a dream once more, shielded from destruction by bones and unshakeable resolve–

Side by side on the floor of his office, a meal from another reality spread out before them and an attempt made to cross a bridge he couldn't yet let form–

Leaning back against the couch, the last true smile he ever saw on his friend's face–

Facing one another like a standoff, begging to be set free–

Sat on the castle couch, sobbing in his arms–

Posing together for a camera, after an admission he never thought he'd begin to make–

Pacing around the office, hard truths honestly stated–

In a circle of lantern light, souls bared–

Sprawled out in the grass, maybe you're just me from another reality, maybe I'm you–

Napping together beneath the tree, just the first time of many–

At the training grounds, power shared and a plan devised–

With a younger version of him who desperately needed a friend, again and again and again and again and again–

Rushing into battle, heart on fire to save a life–

In the rubble, catharsis shared–

In the labyrinth, powerful and destructive–

Under a cover of darkness, planning for a future once they returned to the past–

Eren is there.

Has always been there.

Has not been there in more than two weeks.

I love you too much and I just can't help but wonder where else I might have met you before and you're one of the most important people there is and I took you to The Paths to say goodbye and you're all I've got and there's nothing anyone could do to make me stop trusting you and I don't need you to save the world and

when we go, we'll go together. ]

I just can't accept that you're really gone.
