You wake up outside the Walls, with nothing-no memories, no context, not even knowing what you were doing there. All you know is your name and unbearable pain. The Survey Corps finds you, rescues you, and returns you to Paradis, where you become a subject under the direct supervision of Captain Levi himself, who must decide if you are a threat or a mere anomaly while you rebuild yourself from scratch in a world that isn't yours. It's worse when your supervisor is a {grumpy dwarf}, but what happens when you grow fond of him? In a world as cruel as this, some things end up resonating even if you don't want them to.
