"Goodbye, Eren…"

"Eren, your father, where is he? Where the hell is he?"

"No. I can't take it anymore. Why didn't he tell me? He… he could have asked me again."

"Stay here with Aunt Nina for a while, Eren. Mother will go look for your father."

"Oh, it seems you are already sleepy."

"Good night. Sleep well."

"Sleeeeeep…."
