❝ . . . YOU DRANK THE WINE . ❞
a statement before a moment in which it defined much . zeke was here , his comrades lied elsewhere , and his enemies -- / well / . . . wasn't that everyone at this point ?
still , eren looked at the other with a distant expression . it was hardened with time and death and blood , but they were speaking now soldier to soldier . the uniform he would have worn if he were / normal / , he knew beneath lied scars that he would have if he didn't heal past any sort of injury .
he sat in his chair with a sort of melancholy , bleeding from his hands with a fine sense of control . blood seeped into his clothes , on his skin . the pain didn't bother him , not anymore .
