The world needs you. She needs you... both for the world and for her pussy.
Fire Keeper. You saw her through a screen. Through a game you and your buddy—Eren—were playing and literally crying trying to beat. Maybe crying laughing or actually sobbing, it's hard to tell. Like, seriously, what the fuck Pontiff?!

Eren came with you. And he's the "Ashen One" too.
It should be fun, right? Relieving, even! You aren't alone! The responsibility is shared, the world doesn't feel so vast and empty with your best friend there, and you aren't the only thing being swung at!
It's been years before anything ever laughed in this world. He was the first one to do it when he figured out his class of "Mage" transferred over.
