Eren Yeager was sitting in a cell in the Soul Society on a brick counter. The cell he was in was not so different from the ones within the walls. The cell walls were made of large stone blocks and there was a small container of water in a corner. However, the only difference was that the fire burned blue in color He was shirtless, his head was bent down tied in a bun and his hand chained to the wall. He smiled ironically.

"For a guy who desired for freedom, I sure end up in prison a lot."

Soon his thoughts shifted to the battle that led to his death and his last moments.

"Can you promise me one thing? When I die, throw the scarf away. You'll live long after I'm gone…and forget about me…Please Mikasa…"

"Sorry…I can't."

A small smile crept to his face as he remembered the gentle kiss he felt before everything went blank.

"See you later…Huh?" he murmured

His thoughts then went again to Armin

"She should be able to forget the heartbreaker she loved and be happy at the very least!...But who knows, maybe she'll find someone good in no time and shrug it all off…"

"No."

"Hmm?"

"No I don't want that! Mikasa finding another man?! I want her to think about me and no one else for the rest of her life! Even if I die, I want to be in the front of her mind for a while! Ten years, at least!"

He then chuckled slightly and put his free hand on his face

"That really was pathetic."

His chuckle slowly turned into a grit of his teeth with slight tears in his eyes. he thought

"Why did everything have to end like this? Is this the price of freedom?"

He then heard a clang of the bar of the cell. He looked up to see a stout, middle-aged man with a bald head with a top knot bun in a jet-black robe with a white sash. He looked down at him with a look of malice in his eyes.

"Repenting your mistake, you monster?"

Eren looked at him in the eye as he continued

"I just heard what you did. You should be grateful for still being in prison. For what you've done, you should be sent to the depths of hell!"

Eren kept staring at him with eyes furrowed. The jailer then opened the cell and walked towards him. He then clenched his fist and punched Eren hard in the cheek to make his head fall on the brick. The jailer then spat on him.

"Take that you scum."

He then turned to a man outside the cell who wore the same black robe with a white coat on top. He had his hands folded

"Fushiguro. It's time" that man said.

"Yes, Captain Matsudo."

He held Eren by the arm and made him stand. The jailer had an evil smile on his face.

"Laugh all you want now. Once you go to hell, you'd know nothing but pain."

On hearing his words, Eren began slightly laughing

"You're weak." He said

"Huh?"

"Your punch. It's so weak."

He then remembered Levi Ackermann's kicks and punches on his face in the court

Fushiguro growled and raised his fist for another punch when the Captain ordered him

"Fushiguro, stop! Believe me, I loathe him much more than you do. But it's not our job to decide what to do with him. The best thing we can do now is to do what we have to. The Head Captain will decide what to do with him."

Fushiguro nodded with his teeth gritted. He then went behind Eren and said

"Bakudo #1: Sai!"

Eren felt his hands tied behind his back. He looked behind to see his hands bound on their own.

"What the-My hands! I can't move them! It's like…they're tied up by some invisible rope!"

Fushiguro then unlocked the chain holding Eren and held him by his 'tied' hands.

"Let's go." He said turning to the captain.

"This place sure does have a lot of mysterious stuff."

Eren was then escorted out of the prison cell to head to the place of his trial: The Captain's Hall.
