   Summary

   “Why…” The first attempt dies in her water-logged throat. “Why am I not dead, too?”

   She doesn’t expect Erwin to have an answer to that; which is why when he does respond, she finds herself staring up at him with wide, tear-filled eyes.

   “Perhaps because you have a reason to keep fighting.”

    

   or—Alessandra Lutz joins the Survey Corps in hopes it'll be the last line in the obituary of a life that should have ended with Shiganshina.

   Instead, Humanity’s Strongest convinces her that maybe, just maybe, it’s okay to want to live. Even with the guilt. Even with each other.

   (Maybe they’re doomed. Maybe they’re damned. Either way, it will probably be together.)
