Good Night, Dear and Sweet Dreams Vol. 10 Mikasa Ackerman
"…You don't smile, do you, Mikasa?"
In the few moments at the Survey Corps* barracks before sleep, Sasha tilted her head and stared at Mikasa.
"It's not like I'm doing consciously."
"Why not try making the biggest smile you can, just once? Like this, a big old grin!" Sasha said, sticking fingers into both sides of Mikasa's mouth and forcing it to go as far as it could. Before Mikasa could brush her arms away, Annie mumbled something as she passed by.
"Keep it up and you're getting sliced."
"Eeek!"
Sasha pulled her hands back in a hurry.
"We all have our own times when we feel like smiling. Why don't you leave her alone?" Annie continued.
"I know, but…"
When we feel like…smiling…
As Mikasa wiped her mouth, she thought about her facial expressions.
******
It's true…I feel like I rarely laugh out loud, too, but…
It was after lights out now, but Mikasa's mind continued to be occupied with what just happened as she stared at the ceiling.
When did that start…?
While it never got in the way of her training, there did seem to be something different about it now that it had been specifically pointed out. You could simply call it being asocial if you wanted to, but Mikasa had never thought of herself in that Wai.
I feel like…I was different as a child…
With her mind tired and unfocused from training, she muttered the following and closed her eyes.
"…When…did I smile…?"
******
"Mikasa. Help out with the vegetable harvest, okay?"
Mom!
The bright sky stretched to the horizon. Mikasa knew immediately that she was a child because of her low vantage point. The young Mikasa wore a straw hat and a dress.
She heard a nostalgic voice call out to her.
"Look what I got. We're having poultry tonight."
"That's amazing, Ackerman."
My father, and…Mr. Yeager?
She was at home with her parents, but when she saw the people whose care she would later come under, Mikasa felt that something was strange.
"Hey, Eren! You just nibbled on dinner, didn't you!"
"Ow! Why would you hit me over that?"
Eren! And Mrs. Yeager, too.
Mikasa found it even more strange when she looked back toward the fields, but it was a joyful sight nevertheless. The people who loved and cared for her were living their regular lives.
"Heh heh… I think it's fine, it shows he's an energetic boy."
"Hehe…"
Her father's laughter was contagious, and Mikasa found a laugh coming from her mouth, too.
"What's your problem, Mikasa? Why are you laughing when people are getting mad at me?!"
"Hehehehe… Well, it's just…!"
A broad smile appeared on the face of the pure girl as she laughed with everyone, still ignorant of the smell of blood and the cruelty of the world.
It'd just that my whole family is here!
******
"…Hey, get someone who's good at drawing, we need a portrait of this."
"Really, Ymir? Mikasa's right in the middle of having a nice dream. There's still some time before we have to get up, so just leave her alone."
Mikasa slight grin was visible on her sleeping face. The others looked on in surprise as they whispered to one another.
"That must be a really nice dream. Maybe it's about meat."
"She's not you, Sasha."
"But that's the kind of expression anyone would have when they see their favorite thing, right?"
"Her favorite thing, huh… I wonder what that might be."
The answer to that question could only be found in the girl's dreams and her heart. As the sun's rays began to make their way into the barracks, they slowly began to wipe away her brief, blissful fantasy.

*There might be a little error here by the Official Translator, Ko Ransom. The Fan Translation by Yusenki [ LINK ] translated the word as "Cadets' Domitary" and the presence of Annie shows that this story occurs during their Training Corps days.
*SPOILERS*
I know Yams talked about wanting to have this metaphor in the story about the younger generation taking over for the older one, BUT DID HE REALLY HAVE TO KILL OFF ALMOST EVERY NON-TEEN CHARACTER?!?
