~Eren's POV~
Though his schedule may seem concerning to most, Eren Yeager had learned to accommodate to the constantly changing life style. Today he was to do tests with squad leader Hanji. He paced in the courtyard waiting for his superior.
That's weird, isn't ever late, she normally arrives early.
15 minutes passed before Hanji showed up. She looked..tired, in a weird way though, Hanji was normally so full of energy but she just seemed sluggish today.
"Okay Eren, today we are going to see just how strong you are!" said... with false enthusiasm?
" ? Are you ok?" Eren questioned her, anyone who'd been around her at least a month could tell that something was up.
"Huh? Oh yeah i'm totally fine! Just didn't get a lot of sleep last night!" stuffed her hands into her pockets and started walking around Eren, inspecting him.
"Say Eren?"
"Yes ?"
"Hows your anger management going?" The question blindsided him, Why would she ask something like that?
"It's going good, haven't had any problems besides with Jean." Eren was definitely confused. Why such a random question? Then he began to notice the small things; the sweat under her arms, her eyes darting about him, the brisk way she walked, ready to take off and any moment. His mind traveled to an experiment of his own. He waited till she walked in front of him, ready to test her reflex. Upon approaching, he lunged forward but didn't move his feet. She jumped back as expected however, she reached for a nonexistent 3DM blade. That made Eren jump back. Hanji looked at him as though ready to take off after a swift kick to the shin.
"Easy! I was just messing around." Eren cautioned, he was actually a little scared at this point. It fealt as though he was attempting to distract a wild animal.
"I-I'm sorry Eren," Hanji sighed, she crossed her arms over her chest, "Just not in the mood today…"
"Hanji? Are you ok? The truth this time." Eren pressed, he was almost as stern as captain Levi. Hanji sat down in the grass and leaned back against a rock.
"Eren, I've been seeing some creepy shit lately." Hanji sighed. Her enthusiasm was gone. It was more like a pitiful excuse for courage.
"Wh-what do you mean? There haven't been any Titan problems in at least a week."
"That's just it, I don't know what I mean." Her breathing quickened, strange, she was panicking.
"Hanji? Calm down." She shivered now,no,shuddered. He placed a hand on her shoulder only to find that she was sweating. He knew these signs well.
"Hanji, I need you to look at me. How many fingers am I holding up?"
"What do yo-?" She exhaled slowly and before becoming limp. Eren rushed to grab her before she hit the ground.
