Wait there.

[ more words against her wouldn’t help her here, and eren finds that . . . sometimes, there’s nothing that can be said to soothe such a broken sounding heart.

he drives up to the orphanage, not long after he sends his last text, he’s quick and so is his car.

as he walks up to the building, it reminds him of a dream he had, in a distant timeline that did not exist here, but some how— it was still alive to him. it’s the reason why he feels warmth and love when his steps close the distance between them regardless of the separate lives they led, still intertwined in the end. he felt pain and he felt sadness when he remembers her words. he’s still her brother, and even after everything, there’s still a part of him that feels like it has failed her.

he doesn’t want to, though. he wants to shake the sensation off like a heavy coating of snow and do differently every time, as family should. ]

[servileness]

[ A large part of her wanted to bold. She didn't want to stick around to hear what Eren had to say or see what Eren could do. She realized moments after he sent the text the mistake she made.

It's too late now, and if he still wants to see her after her mini-break down, so be it. The orphanage is where it all starts for Clover. In this life, in another happier life, it's still the orphanage. This is where her life changed for better or worse. This is where she gets a family like Four never had.

It's her lifeline, weak and symbolic as it is. If she can't find herself here, where can she?

She stands at the entrance without the courage to walk in more than that, so it doesn't take her long to see Eren come. ]

Are you here to yell at me, Eren?

[ Her voice is cold, colder than she's ever used with him—even when she was falling apart and singing for the world's end. ]

i’m here to yell at my inbox for eating this tho

[usurpers]

[ there. she is. eren momentarily watched her, only watches, all while he approaches step by step, hands in his coat pockets. ]

You do enough of that.

[ —although, he doesn’t say it pointedly, by any means. eren walks the remaining ways over and sits by her side. ]

[servileness]

I don't really yell at myself.

[ She's rigid from the way she holds herself to the way she talks. Everything is stiff and brittle like the smallest wind could cause her to snap.

She doesn't move away from Eren, and she doesn't take a step closer. ]

I'm tired.

[usurpers]

[ and— there he goes, sitting closer to her the second he gets, shoulder to shoulder and just a little more. she’s tense around her frame and all, feeling the core of her stiffness in his palm when his hand falls around her. ]

I know. [ he’d like it, at least, if there was some way she could have rest on him. ] And I know you can’t just shut it off.

[servileness]

[ She doesn't push him away, but she also doesn't lean into him. It's like she's trying to keep herself contained into a really tight ball, but it's not hard to see how close she is to unraveling.

She's so still. She's too still. ]

I wish I could. It would help so much.
