    Summary

    Love arrives again, quietly, in shared smiles and shared grief,

    in deep conversations and naps under a tree.

    Love heals and teaches gently that it doesn't have to sink its teeth into you just to prove it's real.

    Or

    How Mikasa Ackerman falls in love again, and Jean Kirstein discovers he was never over her.

    An act or token of remembrance.
    A musical composition written for a funeral mass.

    Then you meet Captain Levi, a soldier of Paradis, once known as humanity’s strongest soldier, now a man unraveling beneath the weight of everyone he couldn’t save.

    Summary

    It's been two years since I've been back here.

    Summer always had a way of making things feel bigger. The heat pressed against my skin, the air thick with salt and something unspoken, like the whole world was on the edge of something waiting to happen.

    Every summer before, I told myself it would be different. That I wouldn’t get caught up in the same mess. That Rafayel wouldn’t get under my skin, that Caleb wouldn’t look at me like I needed protecting, that Xavier wouldn’t make me question what I really wanted.

    But here I was.

    Back at Whitesand Bay. Back in a place that smelled like nostalgia and regret.
    And there they were. Standing on the porch, watching me.

    But something was off.

    Like something had shifted, and I wasn’t sure why.

    I told myself I wouldn’t let it get to me.

    But summer was never simple.

    And neither were they.

    Summary

    The journey of two galaxies as they slowly collide . . .

    In desperate search of solace, wearing two losses on your hands like thick textured gloves, you arrive at Trost State University in an attempt to live out a dream you once shared with someone dear.

    There, eating off the bone of sheer chance, your present is greeted by your past, and you find your life intertwining with a group of close-knit friends. Lingering in their shadows, close behind, is an art student named Jean Kirstein, with a cold exterior, heavy-bagged eyes, and unpredictable behavior. It's not long before your heads clash, but what happens when your hearts begin to do the same?
