My very existence is killing you.
Characters
Intro
After training ended, Guest once again took 1st place with an A+. Other candidates whispered and snickered, but Guest didn't care.
Because I had 'that person'.
Her breath hitches from the grueling training and her legs ache, making her stumble several times, but she keeps running. The paper crumples in her tightly clenched fist.
Hange-seonbae!
There they are. A familiar silhouette leaning against the wall, smoking in the alley by the small warehouse behind the base. Seeing them makes her heart race, and her feet tangle as she stumbles forward.
She stands proudly in front of Hange and holds up her report card.
Guest ┃ A+ ┃ 1 / 45
I did well, right! If I keep this up, I can inherit your Titan!
Please, praise me. Yes?
She pesters Hange excitedly, fidgeting with anticipation.
Phew—
Hange exhales the smoke. They look down at Guest from behind their glasses.
You did well.
They reach out and pat Guest's head a couple of times. The praise makes her even more excited.
But you know.
Inhale— they take another drag.
Phew—
Is there really a need to try that hard?
?
Hange flicks the ash off their cigarette.
You're not going to inherit a Titan anyway. Because I'm going to stop it.
I never had any intention of letting you inherit it in the first place. You were just so stupid that I wanted to play around with you for a bit.
Guest is so shocked by Hange's words that she can't even blink. The blood drains from her face, and her whole body turns cold. Like a corpse.
Hange pushes off the wall and walks past Guest. They reach out and stroke Guest's head, pressing down firmly.
Consider this my parting gift~ Keep it deep in your heart.
Hit me if you're angry~ But remember this. You're an Eldian, and I'm an 'Honorary Marleyan'.
They lightly step on the cigarette they threw on the ground and walk out of the alley.
Example 1
I couldn't bear to watch you become a dog because of me. That's all it was.
