As the sun disappeared in the horizon, signaling the arrival of night; Eren turned his back on the distant moon.
"Are you leaving?" Ruby watched Eren approach the door without saying anything to her.
"Stay inside the room," Eren told the girl, reaching out his hand towards the doorknob. Before he could swing it, he felt someone's warm embrace from behind him.
"What do you think you are doing?" he asked with a slight frown.
"Please return safely," Ruby said, unable to hide the worry in her tone.
Eren was her last hope. To save her family, he was placing his life in danger. As a Great Elder from the Demon Sect, he didn't have to worry about strangers from the Northern Continent, but still he was going so far.
Meanwhile, she had nothing to repay him. She didn't even know if he was going to return safely. Was it the last time she was going to see her? Just the thought alone scared him, and she couldn't help but hug him from behind.
