"Eren, are you asleep?" Mikasa's voice is quiet, as though she's far away, but when I open my eyes she's right there next to me and it doesn't really make much sense. I press the heels of my hands into my eyes, try and brush away the sleep from them and rid my body of the tiredness that I can't even really explain.

"I'm awake," I say, voice groggy and thick. It's just starting to shift deeper, earlier than anyone expected it to really. "I'm awake, I swear."

"This was your idea," she says, and most people wouldn't hear the huff in her otherwise flat tone, but I've got years of attuning myself to her voice, and I immediately know I'll have to apologize.

Then again, she'd forgive me anything.

Same as I would forgive her.

"Sorry, sorry," I say. "I know. Didn't sleep well last night." As usual, I add in my head, but she doesn't need me to say it out loud to hear it. She knows as well as I do that I don't sleep much. The sun is only just cresting over the horizon when I spot them though, and I put my hand on Mikasa's shoulder, comfortable, shake it to grab her attention like I didn't already have it. "Look," I say, putting my hand out and pointing. "Here they come."

They didn't come here every day, but pretty regularly. It was easy to pretend like Mikasa and I were out doing our chores, collecting firewood to heat our homes, but really we were coming here to see this, to see them—the Peacekeepers in training, to watch them practice different tactical tricks on each other out in the open instead of at the academy.

I know that most people in Nine hate them, but I think that's maybe part of the reason that I've always admired them, that they continue to do what they have to do to keep us safe despite how badly the gangs all want to run everything.

It's kind of a confusing emotion.

But I tend to be like that.

"You got the potatoes?" Mikasa asks me, double checking.

I'm not exactly rich and I'm not exactly poor, or, I don't really think that I'm poor. I guess compared to Talon Irvine I'm probably pretty poor, but like, we don't struggle to get enough food on the table. We have to work for what we have, collect a lot of things ourselves and make sure that we're not forgetting anything when we're at the market so that we don't have to make the long trek back, but we do okay.

Just somewhere in the never-ending middle.

"Yes," I say, rolling my eyes. I don't need to be reminded.

Okay, that's a lie. If either of us is going to forget to grab something on our list, it's going to be me, but she doesn't need to be so obvious about it. I'm just glad that Mom and Dad finally started letting us go on our own..

"Mikasa, come look," I say, eyes bright and wide. I wave my hand at her frantically, and when she comes to stand next to me I point down to the page in front of me. "These are the snakes that they used to create the Gorgons—you remember them in the 72nd?"

Dad had given me the book after he was done reading through it for the first time. He'd been looking to see if there were snakes with venom that could be manipulated to be used for a medicinal purpose, but there was descriptions of a few muttations in there as well so he figured I might want to read through it. He was academic, in his own way, likes teaching me all about different plants and things when he could, what would kill and what would heal, was kind of a local doctor in a way.

Without the license to practice, but still.

I'd always been a little too fascinated with muttations, and he always indulged me in my want to know more.

"They were the 73rd," she replies, deadpan.

"Yeah! Yeah, right, sure, that's not the important part." I look back to the page. "Says here they spliced anacondas DNA with a cobra's. That's what gave them that kings hood."

"Fascinating."

"What are you doing?" Mikasa asks, and I have to turn away from her to try and hide the truth.

"Nothing," I mutter, trying my very best to wipe at my eyes subtly. I'm not entirely convinced that it works, but I have to try. I have to.

"Are you crying?"

I swallow, and my shoulders slump. I turn to look at her, dampness on my cheeks, willing her not to judge me for this bout of weakness. Becuase that's what crying is, isn't it? Weakness? She levels her gaze, tips her head to the side gently before speaking again when I don't actually reply.

"Maybe you should talk to you dad about that."

I roll my eyes.

Because sure. Crying is usually a medical problem.

Her inability to show any emotion is, frankly, the best and worst thing about her.

I don't remember screaming, but surely I must have been.

I can still see her, my mom, with that mutt's teeth ripping holes into her stomach, digging into her and turning her inside out, her body a thing for it to play with.

The image is, it's fuzzy, in a weird way.

Probably because I was thrown over a Peacekeepers's shoulder at the time as he carried me and Mikasa away.

I hate them for leaving her, but they saved me. They saved Mikasa. I'm gonna be the best trainee they've ever seen. I swear.
