_{❝ Life is fleeting. And delicate.}

_{Because in mere seconds, it could all be over, torn away from you without a moment’s hesitation. Ripped away from your being like finespun threads. But, those threads that had wrapped themselves around you don’t belong to you. No, they belong to another.}

_{Not only could those threads of life been torn away  from you, but they would be torn apart. And as those threads of life lay limp on the cold grounds, you are but a mere debilitated spectator to it all, unable to lift a finger. You do nothing but watch helplessly, as that once animated form of life was left to perish in front of you without any hope of ever returning to your side. In a single turbulent moment, everything you’ve ever known, everything you’ve ever held dear to… It could all be changed, and lost forever.}

_{Life can be cruel. Like a relentless hunter cornering their prey.}

_{She thought for sure she had learned this lesson years ago, since the age of nine. She thought there would never be a single day that would pass her by that she would ever take for granted. Not again, not ever again. Not after losing what she once held dear to her.}

_{And yet… Those days she had spent by their side, his side; days she once thought were full of warmth and tranquility… Those days have long since slipped out of her grasp, never to return to what they once were. And now, as Mikasa stood out on the open field, gaze lifted to the ashen grey skies overhead, she could only contemplate on how wrong she had been back then. It wasn’t until that very moment, when the world began to crumble down upon them, that she knew it was inevitable. Life. Separation. Death. As much as she firmly tried to believed that she was prepared for whatever challenges she may face, she knew that eventually, they would all have to part ways. And maybe, just maybe… Perhaps she could never really prepare herself for that time to come after all.}

_{But, if she had a choice in the matter, she refused to let those precious times that once gave her such sense of peace go without a fight. She had a promise she held close to her heart to uphold, and cherished ones to protect with her life. And that alone fueled her resolve.}

_{The world is merciless.}

_{… Yet still very beautiful. ❞}

_{[ ooc; Hello! I’m a new roleplayer around the SnK community (but not new to roleplaying in general), and I’d thought I’d give this blog a little kickstart with a bit of writing. I’m honestly not sure what to do next… But I’m hoping to meet with other roleplayers in the fandom and interact more.}

_{You can tell I’m terrible with introductions, but yes, if you’re interested in starting a thread or discussing plots with me, feel free to hit me up with a message! My apologies in advance for the initial awkwardness though, haha. ]}
