She dies with the summer, she leaves with the clear sky and the warm days.
She dies quietly, silent eyes closing in a wordless way of saying goodbye.
The snap of her neck is too low for him to hear, so there is a second when he has hopes, when he thinks he got her in time.
When he gets her down and she doesn't wake up, he holds her face in his hands as he cries because either way it's his fault.
Because this isn't the way things were supposed to end. She had her whole life ahead of her. They had their whole future waiting for them.
He screams her name, cradles her body in his arms and pleads for her to wake up as her nose bleeds and her chest doesn't move with the breath he always found so soothing. .
He blames his dad at her funeral, he blames that experiment, he blames Oscorp and he blames his friend.
If only he didn't let her go with him, if only he had stayed away as Levi had told him.
But there are no 'if's in the real life and his father is dead anyway so there is only himself to blame.
As he watches Levi put flowers on Mikasa's grave, he can only think, as he closes hiseyes, that Spiderman only takes hope away from people.
It was Spiderman's fault, either way.
So asshe dies, so does Spiderman, since he refuses to have another death on his shoulders. Isn't it enough with Mikasa and his mother dying because of him?
And as Spiderman dies, so does a little part of Eren.
He buries Spiderman deep down his heart, deep down his closet.
He goes to the graveyard every time he can, always leaving a flower close her name.
A purple flower, the kind his mother grew on her windows, because Mikasa loved those ones, because she looked beautiful with them on her hair, because that was the flower he gave her on their first date.
Sometimes he cries. Sometimes he shouts. Sometimes he laughs, remembering things. But most of the times, he just stands there looking at her name, not really believing that Mikasa, strong and young Mikasa is dead. Mikasa, who cried with Titanic and laughed at his lamest jokes.
Sometimes he is alone. Most of the time Armin is with him, sometimes Jean, or his mom; sometimes it's Levi, with his cold eyes and hard glares, but at the end of the days, he's the only one there when the sun hides and it starts to get cold.
He's the last one to say goodbye to her. He's the last one to let go of her.
