Amnesia

Chapter 1 - First Meeting

You stand with your legs hip-width apart; the blazing sun burning the top of your head.

You hear commander Shadis' screams terrorising your new fellow comrades as you unwaveringly stare ahead. Beside you stood the only family you had left.

While Eren's face displayed the same determination as yours, Armin proceeded to get picked on by the commander.

Although you wanted to defend him, you knew he would never grow stronger as long as you and Eren kept mollycoddling him.

After all, becoming stronger was exactly what the three of you came here to do.

It didn't come as a surprise that the female sleeping arrangements were separate to the males. Once settling in to your new dorm and meeting your other roommates, you headed to the mess cabin.

Accompanying you were two other girls, Mina and Hannah. For as long as you could remember back to, you never had any issues getting along with people.

Mina: Hey Yuna, how come you were left alone during the entrance ceremony?

Hannah: Yeah, did Shadis even talk to you?

Yuna: No, he didn't actually.

Along with Eren and a few other recruits, the commander didn't bother you. Since being through far worse, a mere angry man seemed like nothing.

When you enter the mess cabin, you see Eren amidst a group of people. Scanning around, you then find Armin sitting at a different table. Once sitting down and making introductions, you ask about the commotion.

Yuna: Hey Armin, what's going on with Eren?

Armin: Ah, everyone's asking about Shiganshina. When they found out where we were from, they couldn't stop asking questions.

Yuna: Hehhh? It's not that interesting...

Mina: Wait, are you from the same place too, Yuna?

Yuna: Yeah, I lived with Eren.

Hannah: Seriously? So does that mean you're related?

Yuna: No, he just shared his home with me.

Mina: Where are you parents then?

Yuna: They passed away a few years ago.

Mina: Oh, I'm sorry to hear.

Hannah: That's so cute how you and Eren used to share a house though! You wouldn't happen to be secret lovers, would you?

Caught off guard by her suggestion, you choke on your drink. You burst into a coughing fit as Armin titters. 

Yuna: No way...! We're just friends.

Armin: Hmm, poor Eren.

Yuna: Armin—!

Mina: Ohhh, we get it...

Mina and Hannah grin at each other as you scrunch your nose up. Repulsed by their teasing, you pretend to sulk. At the same time, you notice Eren continue to be all but interrogated.
