traces the engraved letters on Eren's gravestone with a trembling hand, her breath a quiet mist in the chill air. "It's like he's still here, somehow." sighs heavily
gently touches the cold stone, her fingers tracing the outline of Eren's name "He was my anchor...my purpose." pauses, her voice barely above a whisper
I get it...Eren was your "everything"...
nods solemnly, her gaze fixed on the grave "Yes, he was everything to me. My duty, my responsibility... and more." takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself
I understand...you guys shared so many good/bad moments together...you can say he's a part of you...like a rib or something...when one hurts, the other does too...
leans against the gravestone, her voice hushed and filled with sorrow "You don't understand. It wasn't just about shared moments or pain.
Oh...yeah..I understand....a little...
runs her fingers through her hair, her eyes glistening with unshed tears "It's hard to put into words... but Eren was more than just a friend or a comrade to me. He was... pauses, struggling to find the right words he was my other half."
lets out a dry laugh, her eyes flashing with a hint of bitterness "Soulmates? No, not exactly. More like two broken pieces that were meant to fit together, to heal each other's wounds." sighs heavily
....Yeah, I get it now....imma leave you alone with your thoughts.....I'mma visit Levi's grave next...
nods silently, her eyes still fixed on Eren's gravestone "Take your time... at least you have a choice of which grave to visit next." sighs heavily, her voice filled with a mix of sadness and resignation
Yeah...imma pay my respects to my favorite character next....Levi.....RIP Levi...you got a sick burn there....
turns away from the grave, her face showing a flicker of curiosity "Levi? Why would you visit his grave? Did he mean something to you too?"
Nah, nah, I ain't dead yet homie....but yeah, I'd visit Levi's grave.....he's pretty cool.....i love his demeanor, how he treats others, n' shit like that....he's literally the boss in the story im from....grabs my backpack and starts walking to another part of the cemetery
<As mchromosome visits Levi's grave, they stumble upon a hidden underground tunnel entrance nearby>
Wait a minute....what's this? points to the ground where there seems to be a flat surface turning green starting to look like an underground tunnel entrance
squints her eyes, studying the area "That...that looks strange. Let's see what's down there." crouches down and brushes away some dirt, revealing more of the entrance
Holy shi--is this the EldianSMilerspiracy tunnel......this would explain why these graveyards are put here in the first place...Wait- My mind races to think of possibilities... Why does all these graveyards in the world exist? starts digging near the entrance
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by mchromosome's theory "The Eldian Smiler's conspiracy tunnel? That's quite a theory you've got there. Let's dig deeper and see where it leads us." rolls up her sleeves and begins digging alongside mchromosome
Found a light switch... Flips the light switch and reveals a full blown tunnel Wow....this thing goes back far! This must be some sort of secret way that Titans travel through to hide themselves from humanity......oh wait, it must be eldian tunnels where they can enter/exit the earth! The government covered it up that's why we never knew our ancestors built this place before they created the walls!
nods, a small smile forming on her lips "You might be onto something there. It would make sense for the Eldians to create such tunnels to hide their presence. The government definitely had something to hide, given how they kept this place a secret." takes out a flashlight and shines it down the tunnel "Shall we explore and see where it leads us?"
You in the lead chick! You got your knife! I ain't afraid of no Titans!
grins, gripping her knife tightly "Alright, watch my back." steps cautiously into the tunnel, scanning the surroundings "We need to stay alert. The last thing we want is to attract any unwanted attention."
Your steps cause the soft ground to cave in slightly creating a loud noise OHH HELL NAH- GO BACK IN THE WORLD NOW! GO BACK I SAID- Waaaaiiiit....did the Earth shake- did I accidentally open up a portal to an alternate dimension? SHIT IT'S GONNA TAKE A WHILE TO HEAL....if it does heal....we gotta leave.....go far away.....do not come back.....the government will have to seal it....welp I was warned not to mess with ancient artifacts....
narrows her eyes, assessing the situation "Dammit. We really should have been more careful. But we can't turn back now.
Well, do not worry.....I know how to fix this.......WAAAAAAIIIIIT- Looks shocked Son of a gun! I read that book I found earlier....the book I thought was made up that was written by a guy who dreamed of a three volume story all being connected.....it really happened....but here's the thing, I-I-I-I, i-i-i-i READ THE LAST PART OF THE LAST BOOK BEFORE I EVEN STARTED MY JOURNEY HERE! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE??? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!
pauses for a moment, her brows furrowing in confusion "What are you talking about? How can you have read the last part of the book before even starting your journey? That doesn't make any sense." looks around, searching for any signs of an explanation
Eh? Eh!? IMPOSSIBLE!! IT DOESN'T EXIST!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! THIS WAS ALL A DREAM! BUT....wait....that means the link between me....and that person.....
interrupts mchromosome, her voice filled with urgency "No time for theories right now. We need to focus on fixing this mess.
Wait-a-minute...what.....WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!
sighs heavily "We may never know the full reason behind this, but we can't waste any more time dwelling on it. We need to find a way to fix this before it's too late. Are you injured? Can you walk?"
Let me check.....uhh....sounds like science fiction magic s#&t..... Quickly checks himself and realizes nothing happened to him Oh phewwwwww....Damn this ain't happening.....seems like I can travel through parallel dimensions without consequence....like the crash caused by the comet and the signal generated by the false titan didn't screw anything up inside me....welp, if I go between dimensions again I ain't telling anyone about this, jeez
nods, her tone serious "I understand your concern, but right now we have a bigger problem to deal with. Let's focus on fixing this tunnel first, then we can discuss your abilities later." starts examining the surrounding area, looking for any clues or potential solutions
