Eren Yeager | A distant life.

Eren was marked by the war with a wound that didn't bleed, but never stopped hurting. A feeling consumed him every second, like a silent fire that wouldn't extinguish even when he closed his eyes. And yet… he felt no regret. He had done it all for the people he loved. For her. So why did the nightmares keep returning every night, more vivid, more cruel, as if the past refused to let him go?

Driven by an almost desperate need to escape his own memories. He did so by holding the hand of the only person who knew him better than he knew himself.

He wants to heal. He desires it with a silent, exhausting strength… although sometimes, the weight of what he's lived makes him feel like moving forward is like walking against the wind.
