Good night, Sweet dreams, dear ~ Erwin
Erwin Smith doesn’t dream.
Actually he doesn’t have enough sleep, and he sleeps deeply, so he barely realizes that he was dreaming.
“Well, it’s not a nightmare right~”
“You sure sleep efficiently.”
“And, once you wake him up, then he’ll wake up. He’s really a man who’s born to be a commander.”
When they talk about this with Hanji of the Survey Corps, it was surprising.
“Not like I don’t have any dreams at all… It’s just that I try to rest my brain, in order to gain some consciousness.”
“Then, Erwin used to have strange dreams as well?”
A strange dream… Erwin thought of something.
When Erwin just joined Survey Corps, he often had nightmares thanks to his regrets and horrors.
During those times, he saw people being ‘eaten’ by titans – a gruesome way to kill people, especially from Survey Corps.
“So… I barely sleep. If I do sleep, I’ll have scary dreams about titans.”
“Me too. I’ll feel really scared and angry.”
“That’s our experience as newbies in the Survey Corps… by the way, recently there are many volunteers who know about titans.”
Listening to Hanji and Mike’s conversation made Erwin laugh, as he took his red tea.
“Soon after I became commander… I hardly ever dream.”
Erwin stood there, holding half of his dead comrade’s arm.
“From the beginning until now… I haven’t made any progress…”
That’s a dream Erwin had shortly after he became commander. A dream left a deep impression in his memory.
“Commander… it’s your fault…”
The titan opened its big mouth, and from inside its throat, a soldier who should be dead appeared, with half of his face gone.
“You killed us…”
“Right, that’s my decision… I did it!”
His hands trembled, almost dropping the arm he was holding. Suddenly the arm moved, grabbing Erwin’s neck.
“You too, atone with your death.”
“Uh…”
The titan saw that he was no longer moving, and as it opened its mouth to eat Erwin –
“You over there, what happened!”
“It’s really dangerous, come up!”
Suddenly the head of the titan that was going to eat Erwin fell, and someone stretched out his hand to grab Erwin to the horse.
“Levi, Hanji?”
“You guys are supposed to keep moving forward.”
Mike gave a nod, a warning.
“Mike… right…”
Right… just as Erwin thought so, the blue sky faded away~
And the dream ended.
“Ah, right… by sacrificing their happiness, I can keep doing what I am supposed to do.”
Pausing his nostalgia, Erwin smiled.
“What? You were about to be attacked by a titan, then?”
“No… in that dream, I was scolded by a comrade, and then I thought about my own mission. Becoming a commander requires me to make ruthless decisions.”
The comrade he talked about was Levi and the others, however he said nothing about it.
“Oh… so you can sleep in peace now. I envy you~”
“You’re too distracted.”
“Levi too! When your comrade is hurt, you have nightmares, one of your teammates told me so.”
“You guys are fine the way you are… only I need to lose people.”
Erwin Smith doesn’t dream, he only faces reality.
If you say he’s not human, he has no objectinos.
Because no matter what, the current person he is must rely on his friends in order to stand tall.
