The first light of dawn filtered through the curtains as Eren woke up early the next morning. He had slept soundly, knowing that Diana would be in capable hands and on her way to safety.
It was a bittersweet feeling. Even though he had met the child only yesterday, the innocence and naivety of the young dark elf made him hesitate in a way he couldn't quite explain.
Nevertheless, as Eren got dressed and prepared for the day ahead, he couldn't help but reflect on the events that had led him to this point.
The unexpected encounter with Diana in the black market was something he hadn't anticipated, yet it had reminded him of the importance of helping those in need, regardless of their race or background.
