   Summary

   (Complete, extras chapter ongoing)
   This story explores an alternate ending where Eren survives after triggering the Rumbling. Instead of dying, he’s left to face the consequences of his actions—just as those who tried to stop him must confront the aftermath of their own choices. Together, they struggle with guilt, trauma, and the irreversible weight of what they’ve done. As they attempt to rebuild what’s left, they must also reckon with their own enemies, their past, and the uncertain future they’ve inherited.
