Annie and Eren are sitting by the fire during the snowstorm that ensues.
"We've been out here for almost two months now." Eren says. "But funny enough, I don't miss the city."
"Why not?" Annie asks.
"Those walls are nothing more than a cage. We were just cattle and we never realized it. It's humiliating."
"Well, you realize it now, and you're finally living, as opposed to existing. Living like this, it reminds me of my old life in my village." Annie says. "Along with the weather. The way the snow glimmers on the ground..." She trails off.
"Do you miss it?" Eren asks.
"It was nice at times, but they made me do horrible things, and I can't go back if I abandon my mission." Annie smiles a sad smile. "But that's okay, because I enjoy being here with you." Her smile turns joyful.
"Well, I'm glad you feel that way. You look nicer when you smile." Eren says.
Hange is laying in her own bed, eavesdropping, and giggling like a fiend.
The fire starts to die down a little bit, and the room gets colder. Annie starts shivering. Eren grabs a blanket, and wraps it around her. She grabs his arm and pulls him into it as well. She nestles up close and feels the warmth radiating off of his body.
The snow storm stops, and the forest is covered in snow that is sparkling from the moonlight, like the stars that shine galaxies away or a diamond glimmering on the finger of a blushing bride.
"Wow, beautiful isn't it?" Annie asks.
"Yeah, it really is." Eren says.
But he wasn't looking outside.
