    Summary

    “Stop crying,” Eren had demanded of her, just minutes before he boarded his ship. Mikasa remembered that day with a painful clarity: the hardened resolve of his expression, the gruffness of his still-deepening voice. The leather trunk that had sat heavy between them. Even though he’d stood right in front of her, everything about him screamed of his impending distance.

    It had surprised her how willing he was to go. To leave her. To leave Armin. To leave her. Did the notion of their separation not pain him? Did it not stab into his heart and twist it until he couldn’t breathe?

    Was he so different?

    Or:

    Four years ago, Eren Jaeger left his home with the intention of making his fortune. Upon his return, Mikasa Ackerman is dismayed to learn that her friend has changed beyond recognition.
