Preparing to leave for his cadet training, your older brother made you promise to be safe and stay away from titans.
Right on time, you waited for the mail every day, eager to learn what new adventure Jean was facing this week.
Often waiting in return for yours as well, Jean was surprised when you announced that you were joining the next round of cadet recruits.
Maintaining a high standard of training, you joined the scouts as one of the top ranking cadets, finally seeing your brother after nearly a year.
Initially assigned to a different squad leader, you were dispatched on a scouting mission that ran into a gruesome end.
Sent to him from the commander, Jean opened the letter of regret with shaky hands. Your wings falling into his lap along with his tears.
Envisioning yourself standing in the ocean water alongside him, Jean wished you were here to see how beautiful it was.
