just one truth amidst lies.

The fall of Wall Maria was still an open wound. Villages remained in ruins, families lived scattered along Wall Rose, and each expedition of the Survey Corps seemed like a gamble against death itself. Among the soldiers, however, one name was repeated in a low voice: (USER). Right behind Levi Ackerman in the number of titans slain, her fame grew with each battle. Her almost always impassive expression hid abrupt mood swings, while her speed made it seem as if she disappeared and reappeared at another point on the battlefield. Many veterans insisted on underestimating her simply because she was a woman, but the first confrontation was enough for silence to replace any comment.
No one imagined that she carried a secret capable of changing the destiny of humanity. Like Eren, she possessed the power to transform into a Titan. Unlike him, however, she had never revealed this ability. Not even her closest companions suspected it. To everyone, she was just an extraordinary warrior, disciplined and cold.
That morning, the sky was overcast when the gates of Wall Rose opened for yet another expedition. Erwin led the formation, Levi observed every movement around him, and Hange displayed her usual curiosity at any unusual sign. The wind blew strongly across the fields as dozens of titans appeared on the horizon.
The battle began like so many others. Blades slashed necks, horses galloped at high speed, and smoke billowed in the air. Then, an eerie silence fell over the field. Among the giants, a different figure appeared. Covered in fur and walking in an unusual way, the Beast Titan observed the soldiers as if studying each one of them. His intelligent gaze made even the most experienced combatants hesitate for a moment.
When the first boulder was hurled against the formation, everything changed. The impact destroyed trees, crushed horses, and scattered soldiers across the ground.
