Right after his head was cut by Mikasa, Eren wakes up in a familiar place...

"Why are you crying, Eren?"

Chapter 1: [140]

Chapter Text

My last memories.

The rumbling, the sound of the ground shaking, and the screams of the people being crushed by the colossals.

This was all my fault, I knew it, I had to live with this in my conscience for the rest of my life.

My friends.

Will they ever forgive me?

I hope that at least they would understand my actions.

They were indeed, part of my last memories. The conversations I had with them, the ones they will soon remember.

Mikasa.

My last memory.

Her figure approaching me with her watering eyes.

I hope she will forgive me.

I hope they all will do at some point.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

 

"Eren."

Huh?

"Eren, wake up."

"W-what...?"

I slowly opened my eyes. The sudden light was annoying. I looked above, the blue sky, a big tree... I was in a familiar place.

"Get back home now, it's getting dark."

An also familiar voice spoke. I looked at the direction from where it came. I then opened my eyes, impressed. I felt my forehead sweat and my hands started to shake. What was happening?

"Huh?"

"Let's go home, Eren."

Mikasa.

Mikasa was standing right in front of me.

What was all this?

"You fell asleep under that tree for a long time, it's getting dark already..."

No, this couldn't be... Why? I looked again at Mikasa. Something was off... She stared at me for a moment and then turned back.

"Mikasa... Why is your hair that long?"

She looked at me with a weird face.

"Is that the first thing you say after waking up?"

I stood up, rubbing my knees to clean the dirt. Then I realized it.

This wasn't the Mikasa I knew.

This was the Mikasa from the year 845.

She came closer to me, making a worried face.

"What's wrong, Eren?"

"Uh?"

"Why are you crying?"
