Flashback

"Boys are icky." You stuck your tongue out at the thought. "But Miyuki constantly talks about them. Apparently there's one in her class who writes her love letters." Katsumi mentioned and cringed after. "Ew! I thought we were supposed to set up my brother with her, though?" You questioned, head turned towards the ravenette. "Yeah but he's in Cadet Corps, now!" Katsumi whined and crossed her arms over her chest. "Whenever he visits, we'll do it. Pinky promise?" You held out your shortest finger. "Of course." Katsumi nodded in agreement, then laced her pinky around yours.

"What about you, though? Are any boys writing you letters?" Your best friend giggled and poked your ribs. "No way! They all think I'm weird and make fun of me." You rolled your eyes and sat down on Katsumi's bed. "Hey, that's supposed to be my job!" The girl gasped as she acted disgruntled. You couldn't help but giggle at her remark. "Yeah, I know it is. Anyway, like I said, they're icky. I don't want any gross love letters." You affirmed confidently. "Suit yourself." Katsumi shrugged, then threw herself on the bed. "My dad wouldn't let me date anyone until I'm married, anyway." You explained which made Katsumi sit up. "That doesn't make any sense?!" She frowned. "He's weird." You sighed.

The day that you both finally got to set up your brother and her sister, they were nothing but a mess. Yet, neither you nor Katsumi saw it that way. They were two normal humans who reacted in normal ways. No one would be perfect or know what to say, so, to you, you felt a bit inspired by their interest in each other. As that interest grew into love, you started to envy an emotional connection like that but you would never admit it. If only someone cared for you the way that they did for each other.

Flashback End

Tremors, shatters, fires, blood. War unleashes in new territory, one that does not belong to you, for a change. Debris litters the town as bullet shells fall from the sky, a panic stirring as civilians scatter, their terrified screams clustering together into one deafening noise. Your own soldiers fall as they give their lives in the name of freedom, fighting for something they never once had but envied. Shots pelt your enemies as they unleash their defense attack, much stronger than yours. The ocean's waves rise much higher than the Walls from your home as a giant monster appears, destroying an entire port. The roars of your comrade signals that the battle has only just begun.

One step closer.

Being shaken out of your mindless state, Sasha shows a soft grin as her hand rests on your left shoulder. "Its almost time." She mouths through the slight commotion of your base. Your squad files through as they gear up before your initial infiltration. Even now, many more members have joined your regiment, all working for the end of your home's misery. "I'll be there shortly." You reply to the brunette, returning her smile. Nodding, the girl skips to the side before jogging off to join Jean, and Conny to finish loading up.

Fastening your belts, you stand up from a bench, smoothing your hands over your new uniform, all onyx-black leather. Once your belts are adjusted, you roam down the short hall towards a room full of crates, containing your new gear. With brand new equipment, you feel excited to finally use it in action after helping with the collaboration. Your elite knowledge was an advantage during the process and you even got to share your own opinions on how to advance the upgrade. You also to assist in assembling some of them, considering you're an expert at constructing them in a matter of less than an hour.

While attaching your gas tank, you hear a pair of boots clicking by, entering the room you accompany. Looking up, you do a quick double-take, realizing its Captain Levi, coming to do the same for his gear. There's a silence between you two, both focusing on the task at hand, with little time to spare before the mission. Deciding to speak first, you lift your head from your gear in front of you, eyes staring at the back of his head. "Are you sure you want me on the front lines, Captain?" You ask the older man. Watching him pause to turn around slightly, his eyes lock on yours. "We need to take advantage of your ODM Gear skills. I'm sure." Captain Levi responds, filling up his gas tank. "Understood, sir." You nod, accepting his orders. You finish with your gear and pull it on, fastening everything in place after.

"I want you stationed near Sasha. With her sharp hunting skills, you can depend on each other. No wandering off by yourself, Y/n." Captain Levi speaks up before you have the chance to leave. "A babysitter?" You quietly chuckle, causing the man to subtly sigh. "Call it what you want. I don't feel like dragging your sorry corpse back on the airship after this mission." Captain Levi mutters but you only chortle, not minding his dig. "I'm just grateful you care about me, sir." You grin, rising from the seat to lean against the doorframe. "Go finish loading up, Y/n." Captain Levi waves you off, facing his gear once more.

Nothing but amused, you follow his newest order, pushing yourself off the frame to salute. "Of course, sir." You nod with a slight smile, leaving the small room to obtain the final part of your gear: pistols. Everyone is whizzing by as they collect everything they need before heading out to their positions. A bit chaotic and stressful but at least its not from being under attack. Yet. By the time you're ready, you find yourself outside a small room while you adjust your silver chestplate, still getting used to the new uniform. From inside the room, you hear the Captain speaking with a few others before Sasha strolls by you again. "I think Captain Levi is going over the plan one last time before we leave." She announces. "Oh, okay." You nod, following the brunette inside the room.

Eventually, your whole squad, plus the new recruits, pack inside the room, waiting for Captain Levi's final speech. Kneeling in the front row, your eyes land on the Captain as he begins speaking. "You all know your positions, I expect you don't leave them until Eren gives his signal. When he does, you must take out every Marleyan soldier you run across. Our hope is to spare any Titan shifters fighting for Marley but we can't anticipate a perfect mission. Do the best you can in capturing them, though." He starts off with, suddenly, his eyes meeting yours. "Now, your comrade, Y/n, will give us further details." His gaze doesn't leave yours. "Sir-... wha-... okay...?" You stumble over your words, completely caught off guard.

The man simply quirks a brow up as he subtly tilts his head to the side, signaling you to stand beside him for your unexpected role in the speech. Obeying, you push yourself off the floor, approaching his side, turning around to face your comrades. Not instantly realizing what to discuss, you give the Captain a glance, wondering what he's expecting you to say. When his eyes meet yours, his entire body relaxes, eyes much softer now, and not as stern. Then, it all makes sense to you. "Tell them what you've seen." His internal voice fills your head, a bit surprised to hear it so abruptly. Nodding a bit, you shift foward to address the Scouts.

"As you all know, I've seen some things from the future without much context. However, what I do know is that there's going to be a lot of bloodshed tonight... and most of you won't return to Paradis. I don't want that to discourage you but instead, remind you that we're all sacrificing ourselves for one cause. Fighting humans isn't easy, especially when we were trained to fight Titans. Well... I guess you could consider them the same thing now." You sigh, quickly glancing at your Captain again as he's back to looking serious. "There's nothing I can say to sugarcoat this, besides asking you all to be careful out there." You end your speech, not expecting the sudden cheers from your squad.

"Let's fight for humanity!" "Devote your heart!" "For freedom!" Your friends begin to chant until the entire room is chanting along with them. A slight smile reaches your face, realizing they are not as scared as you are. This is what the Scouts do: fight for freedom, fight for humanity. You will always admire their selfless devotion.

As the Scouts shuffle throughout the base again, heading to their positions, you find yourself sitting on the floor, against a wall, while your mind processes everything that is to come. Your skin burns and your body builds a sweat as you can feel the fires reaching you, smoke clogging your throat, and lungs. Sending you back into a place where you're stuck in the center of it, restrained. In just a blink, you're transported back to that place, flames rising until you're trapped. Gunshots fire in the distance while shouting occurs, a sharpness plunging into your chest, right into your heart. The familiar eyes of the first man you killed who served Kenny the Ripper. Horrified in the moment as you stole his life, his demon returns to taunt you, followed by his deceased comrades.

Trembling hands claw at your arms, searching for relief from your uniform, which seems to become tighter with the increasing temperature. In utter chaos, you watch as a civilization crumbles beneath your touch, falling apart as your home once did. Only this time, its done in revenge. Is this what you really want? Fire against fire? When will the battle be over? When will you finally find peace?

Abruptly, a hand slaps down on your left shoulder, startling you from your intrusive thoughts. Slowly lifting your chin up, you don't expect to see your Captain glaring down at you on the floor, almost ashamed to see you in such a state. Realizing the distress written on your visage, his eyes lose their deadly edge, looking much friendlier now. "Why aren't you in position yet?" Is all he asks, his hand still firm on your shoulder. You purse your lips for a moment, your throat ran dry from the amount of air you've been sucking in to calm yourself. "Don't make me ask again, Y/n." His voice is a tad quieter, for only you to hear. "You're positive you want me out there...? I could be in the airship with the Commander and help in case of aerial threats." You suggest, not too sure on the idea of you being on the front lines.

With a sigh, your Captain shakes his head "no." "Y/n, we need you out there. You're exceptional on ODM Gear, better than Kirstein. We're not robbing our chances of winning this fight by taking you out of it." The man states, firm on his decision. Hesitantly nodding, you understand, as there is nothing you can do about it besides listen. "Yes, sir." You mumble, wiping your forehead of sweat. "Look, I don't give out compliments very often but you're probably the strongest one here, mentally. So do your part and don't dwell on it. This is temporary." The raven reassures, crouching down to your level. Eyes returning to his, you're taken aback by his sudden compliment.

Before you can respond, he cuts you off. "That speech wasn't awful, either." He mentions, causing you to snort. "Gee thanks." You jokingly roll your eyes. "So, why are you beating yourself up, all of a sudden?" The Captain's voice is gentle, something you've never heard before. Processing his question, all your fears come to the surface, and there is nothing you can do besides release them. "The whole killing part. I spent my life seeing them already gone but now I have to be responsible for it? Then, I can never get rid of them. They'll always haunt me, physically, mentally, emotionally..." You trail off for a second. "I see the life leave their bodies and I'm not ready to see so many spirits tonight. This is only my fifth battle but this one will cause the most destruction. They'll exhaust me which is why I questioned your placement for me in the first place." You answer truthfully.

"You'll be fine out there because you're under my lead. I wouldn't put you in this situation if I didn't believe in you. You'll have Sasha with you, anyway." Captain Levi stands back up, pulling his hand off your shoulder. Looking up at him, you gently nod, taking a final deep breath. "I appreciate your kind words, and encouragement, Captain." You thank the man. "We'll see you back on the airship, Y/n." He begins to depart after. Pulling yourself up from the floor, a burning spreads throughout your abdomen, most prominent in the side of your waist. Grasping the spot, you accidentally catch your Captain's attention from across the room. Glancing up, you quickly play it off, as not to worry him. "Just a cramp from sitting so stiffly, sir." You mention, adjusting yourself. "I see." The man replies before heading out.

Why do I always feel that?

The rumble of a building splitting in half as a 15-meter Titan emerges from the center of it signals the start of your mission. After swallowing a man named Willy Tybur, the citizens in Liberio are thrown into panic as debris rains from the sky, pelting them flat. Even when they're no longer breathing, their screams still echo in your ears, from a distance.

A flash of lemon-yellow erupts near Eren's position, revealing the spawn of the War Hammer Titan, ready to take him on. Everything is going according to plan, as of now. Hiding on a rooftop, you crouch behind Sasha, readying your weapons for the right moment. "Are you ready?" You hear Sasha quietly ask, shotgun pressed against her cheek as she aims. "As I'll ever be." You mutter, watching her six, your own shotgun in hand.

Two gunshots ring in your ears as she takes out some guards stationed below her, one going straight in a man's forehead. Holding your stance, you sense Conny approaching, relaxing when he lands on top of the roof, beside you both. "This side's blocked off. Let's go, guys." He announces. "Conny... did you forget about the lights?" Sasha replies, turning on a light to place it on top of the roof, guiding the way for your airship. "Oh, right." Conny takes his own light to do the same.

Slinging the shotgun over your torso, you pull out your pistols which dub as hand controls, much like Kenny the Ripper's, firing your anchors to take off with your comrades. Stealthily swinging through the town, you meet up with Jean's group on a different roof, landing on your feet. "Jean, we stalled the reinforcements." Conny reports. "And the lights?" The sandy-brunette with a mullet asks. "They're all in place." Sasha answers. "Are things going well?" Conny then questions. "For the time being. As long as we take that thing out in time but who knows? Anything can happen at this point. What's to come when this battle is over? For us to know, we have to survive." Jean speaks.

Checking on Eren, you notice a different Titan crawling towards him, ready to bite down on his nape. Quickly supplying yourself with Thunder Spears, you run towards the edge of the roof, jumping off to follow your comrades, and help Eren. A large group of you storm the Titan, ready to deploy your Thunder Spears when an immense gun of some kind begins firing at you. "Behind us! Retreat! Retreat!" You hear someone shout. The continuous shooting sends you into a panic, unsure of where to hide as you could be hit anywhere. Dropping yourself low, you hear the bodies of some of your comrades hit the ground below you, unfortunately struck down by the enemies. You manage to find a pile of bricks from a building to hide behind, out of aim from the gun but you don't know where your friends went.

Hopefully, they're okay.

Watching as Eren holds the War Hammer Titan's shifter in his grasp, enclosed in a crystal just like Annie, you feel the ground tremble beneath you. Glancing to your left, your eyes widen at the sight of the Beast Titan. "Shit... we're outnumbered." You mumble, thinking of how you'll get out of this mess. Tightly gripping your pistols, you realize that the only way out is by fighting. Standing back up, you follow Jean's lead as he charges the Beast along with two others. "Incoming!" He hollers as you dodge his attack of flying debris. "That jerk!" One of your comrades growls, heading towards the Beast. "Hey, wait!" Jean shouts for him but its too late, the large gun from before has taken them out as well.

Taking cover in a nearby building to regroup, a sudden surge of crumbled rocks shatter through the windows, scraping your skin. Being struck in the head, the same spot an anchor from your ODM Gear pierced you all those years ago, blood trails down your temple, dripping off your chin when you recover from the impact. "Y/n! Are you okay?!" Sasha gasps, coming to your side with a few of her own scratches. "I'm fine. This is nothing." You wipe the blood off with the back of your hand but that only puts a temporary stop to the flow. "Is everyone else okay?" You ask the group around you, earning several nods. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, only a few cuts, and bruises. Nothing you Scouts couldn't handle.

Looking out towards the broken windows, the dark night sky shifts to a bright tangerine hue as Armin transforms into the Colossal in the sea. The intense force of his transformation causes a storm of wind to blow through Marley, even effecting those inside shelter. During the distraction, Captain Levi manages to sneak attack the Beast and blow up his nape.

Following your comrades, you head towards the roof with the Cart Titan, helping to distract the soldiers in charge of the guns on its back. Circling around the Titan, you swear its eyes lock on you, narrowing. "Why does everyone look at me funny?" You mutter to yourself. As someone fires a Thunder Spear, the Titan is quick enough to deflect it, blowing up away from its body. Retreating back over the edge, Sasha reloads her shotgun while Jean jumps up over the edge, throwing a Thunder Spear into its face armor. "Now! Fire!" He yells. Following his command, you, along with the others, deploy your remaining Thunder Spears into the Cart Titan, ultimately weakening it as it falls off the roof.

"Hurry! Finish it off!" Jean waves towards the Cart Titan, jumping down towards it. Following along, you prepare your Thunder Spears but a young, blonde boy gets in the way, trying to block the Titan. "Don't shoot! Please, stop!" The boy pleads with tearful eyes. Through gritted teeth, Jean launches the spear anyway but the Titan's steam causes it to blow back instead of penetrating its skin, blowing up in the ground.

Returning to the roof, the woman inside the Titan emerges from the nape, bloodied, and weak. "Its the Cart!" Your comrades exclaim, wanting to put an end to the Titan. Swinging between the buildings, some Marleyan soldiers equip themselves with guns, firing at you. "Eat shit, you devils!" You hear a man yell as he fires. "Look out! Stay back!" Jean warns your group, deflecting all of their shots but not without a few close calls.

Finding safety atop a different building, you spot the airship approaching in the distance, following the lights your squad set up for it. "Jean, its here." Conny mumbles. "Yeah. Right on time." Jean responds, facing the aircraft. Once its close enough, you charge forward, following its path. "Protect the airship from below! Use every last shot you've got!" Jean announces.

While following the airship from underneath it, your mind wanders off as you gaze upon the foreign land, meeting several baby-blue apparitions that accompany their previous home. Tonight has gone exactly like the visions you've seen for the past three years, only now, you're living it. Distracted by the spirits' energies, you don't notice a stray bullet in time as it whizzes your way from an unknown gunner, perfectly striking one of your anchors. Losing track of your controls, you grunt in frustration, falling back towards the ground. Nearing the surface, you brace for impact, successfully somersaulting to save your fall, body still accelerating from the speed. Finally skidding to a stop, your gear thankfully holds up, only suffering from a few scratches. Kneeling on the ground, you swiftly check the anchor for any damage before returning to the airship. The last thing you need, is to plummet from that height again with a broken anchor.

With one of its hooks missing, you mentally debate with yourself on whether to risk it or not, and find another way back onto the ship. In the midst of your thoughts, a pebble falls off a pile of rubble behind you. Alerting your attention, you hastily spin on your knee, facing the direction of the noise with both pistols aimed at the structure. Instantly, the pile begins to shift as something attempts to crawl out from under the destroyed materials. Keeping your aim steady, an arm reaches out, grasping a sturdy brick to pull themselves. For whatever reason, you feel as though this is not a threat, and deciding on a whim, you throw your pistols back in their holsters before scurrying to the mess. Perhaps, its one of your comrades in need of assistance.

Gripping a beam of wood, you hoist it off, chucking it to the side, then, moving onto the next obstacle. Once enough debris is off the top, you crouch down enough to partially see a battered face beneath the bricks, covered in dust and blood. Reaching for their arm, you begin to pull the stranger out, sudden visions bugging your mind as a memory reintroduces itself. A woman trapped the same way, begging for her children to run away, and leave her be. You recognize her as Eren's mother, who unfortunately died in the same situation. Shaking your head of the vision to focus on the task at hand, you build up even more strength, successfully pulling the victim out.

"T-Thank you..." They sigh, taking a few heavy breaths after being stuck for who knows how long. Staring at their figure, the woman wears a long beige jacket with dark pants, and tall boots. On her left arm, a red band with some sort of strange symbol. From what you can see, she has (texture) (color) hair, about shoulder-length but you have yet to see her face. With wide eyes, you realize she must be a Marleyan soldier of some kind, and you just rescued her. As the woman sits up, her (color) eyes trail over to yours, showing shock once they meet. A pinch in your head makes you flinch, wondering what it was about. For some reason, you don't feel as afraid of her as you had initially thought.

Before you can utter a word, the woman's eyes grow larger as she unexpectedly lunges towards you. A shout leaves your throat as she tackles you to the ground, staying still as a bullet just misses you both from behind. With a shaky breath, you stare at the sky in fear for what has just happened, mind unable to comprehend any of it. "You need to go!" The Marleyan soldier warns, scrambling off of you. Mind not catching up with the present, you sit there confused, her words going in one ear, and out the other. Frantic, the woman grips your hand, pulling you up, and away as more shots fire your direction.

Finally realizing what is going on, you can't help but feel confused as to why an enemy is protecting you, so, you decide to ask. "Why are you helping me, anyway?" You shout over the commotion, following the woman in the same direction as your airship. Ahead of you at an arm's length, she quickly glances over her shoulder. "Because this is no longer my home." She replies, pulling you around a building's corner to tear off her red armband. Tossing the fabric aside, you return your attention to your gear, deciding you have to go on, even if there's a bit of damage.

Still unsure of the strange feeling you get from this nameless woman, you believe her innocence. She doesn't seem to want any harm, which is the odd part. Something about her is pulling you in and of course, you want to get to the bottom of it. "Hold on tight." You tell her, out of the blue. "Pardon?" The (color)-haired woman gives you a flabbergasted expression. "Grab onto me." You repeat, turning around. Hesitant, she complies, anyway, climbing onto your back. Immediately, you launch your anchors into a different building, heading towards the airship to retreat.

Dodging bullets, you switch between anchors to give yourself the chance to shoot back. Fortunately, you strike him down but not without feeling guilt afterward. Then, a second gunner positions himself on a roof, aiming directly for you. Swiftly, you turn to face his direction, pistol aimed straight at his forehead when you pull the trigger. Safely, you make it to the door of the airship, climbing inside as the woman hops off of your back, staring out the door. "I have to hide you before my Captain sees." You quickly realize, guiding the woman to a spare storage room, only big enough for two people. Squeezing inside, you shut the door behind you, releasing a breath as you turn around. "Why did you bring me?" The woman whispers, her similarly colored eyes focusing on yours. "I don't know, to be honest. My mind told me to." You answer, desperate to know the reason as to why she felt... familiar.

Almost having the same look, the woman's lips separate. "Are you... Y/n?" She slowly questions, catching you off guard. "How did... you know my name?" You feel uncomfortable to ask, surprised, to say the least. Looking relieved, a smile grows on her face. "I thought so... I'm your aunt Lux." The woman discloses, sending you through a loop. "You're... what?" You whisper in disbelief. "You look just like your mother, too." Lux grins, reaching her hands out to cup your cheeks in awe. Lacking the ability to properly function, you feel as if your world is shifting. How can you retain all this new information at once?

"M-My mom...?" You stutter, almost doubting it. Lux only chuckles with a nod, her hands still holding your face. "My dad told me she died a long time ago, so I never knew her. It makes me feel like I don't even know myself because of that." You quietly explain, feeling calm under her gentle touch. With a slight nod, she drops her hands to your shoulders. "Yes, unfortunately. She was a secretive person, too." The older woman responds sadly. Furrowing your brows, you realize that maybe, your father was right all along.

She's really gone?

The sound of the door opening causes you to jump out of your skin, snapping your head towards the entrance to see your Captain standing there, looking annoyed. "There you are, brat. Go get your head cleaned up-" Captain Levi stops himself when he notices the stranger behind you. "Y/n, we didn't come to Marley to smuggle stowaways." He narrows his eyes on you. "Sir, I apologize for my spontaneity but... she's important. She's my aunt." You reply, glancing back towards Lux, hoping he will understand.

All of a sudden, your vision goes blind, being replaced with a scene of your comrades. Slightly hazy, your waist burns as you feel yourself falling backwards, facing a ceiling. Without allowing your Captain to respond to your previous statement, you recognize the setting of the vision as the airship. "Excuse me, I have to go!" You panic, shoving past your Captain, not worried about the repercussions. "Y/n!" The Captain barks at you from his place. Quickly following, Lux trails behind you, unbothered by the fact that your comrades will see her, and pose her as a threat.

Heart rate increasing, you frantically search for the room, hearing a ruckus which leads you straight towards the source. As soon as you bust through the door, your words travel faster than your actions. "Sasha!" You scream, just as a bullet penetrates her torso. The room briefly falls silent before erupting in deafening madness, tackling two young children from Marley, responsible for the shooting. Rushing to Sasha's side, your fight mode kicks in as you shout for help, pressing down on the wound to stop the blood.

"Are we... eating soon?" The brunette girl mumbles weakly, eyes dazed. "Bandages, now! We've gotta stop the bleeding!" Jean orders your group. Doing your best to stay calm, you, however, fear that you'll succumb to the insanity. "Sasha! Make it to the island!" Conny begs, terror on his face. Not knowing what to say, for being thrown in this situation, you can only kneel beside her, pressing her wound. "Meat..." Sasha whispers, grabbing your attention.

Finally receiving the supplies, you assist your comrades in wrapping the gunshot wound, blood staining the bandage. Frozen in place as your comrades detain the two kids, Jean is put under pressure over what should be done with them. "I'll toss 'em outside. All right?" Floch suggests, gripping their hair. "If we toss kids out of an airship, will the killing ever end?" Jean slams his hands against the wall. Sitting beside Sasha, you ball up your fists, still stained with her blood. "I'm sorry... I was too late." You whisper to her, not earning a response from her weakened state.

Once Mikasa and Armin run in, it really has become too late. Taking her last breath, her once lively pecan-brown eyes fall shut, soul departing the physical world. Stuck in shock, her baby-blue spirit sits up from her body, looking down upon it before glazing around the room she was once in. When her eyes fall on yours, anger overtakes your mind, frustrated that you failed to save a member from your squad, your friend.

Abruptly getting up, you turn towards the wall and throw a punch at it, your knuckles cracking at the impact. "Son of a bitch!" You yell in a fit. Stumbling back and falling on your ass, you grip your left/right wrist, staring down at your bloody hand. Not only have you spilled the blood of fellow Eldians in Liberio but you have held the blood of your friend's before spilling your own. When will the shed stop?

Drowning out the screams of agony belonging to Mikasa and Armin, Lux approaches your side, laying a hand on your back in an effort to console you over the loss. Rejecting reality, everything falls into place. All this time, you had visions of the moment but you brushed them aside for their lack of context. You could have done so many things differently, had you taken it more seriously. However, your mind refused to unfold all the secrets of the future. "I ignored the warning signs because I didn't understand it! I'm such an idiot!" The heels of your palms press into your temples. "You can't always have the answer, Y/n." Lux whispers but you shake your head, a tear slipping from your eye.

I keep causing my family's fatal misfortune.

Omg I honestly did not expect this chapter to be up so soon 💀

Fortunately, its up, though! I'm very excited for that! I figured this chapter would take longer but forgot how short the Sasha, Jean, and Conny scenes were. I still need to thoroughly plan the next chapter though, so it might take a tad bit longer, not sure yet.

Also, the next character profile page will be published at the same time as this one. So, it'll be the next chapter. Anyway, thank you for reading, see you in the next story chapter!
