Abusing it, or her creatures, is to go against our very nature.” ~from Life In A Society. Chapter 28 Head buzzing with thoughts of battle and the world as they knew it ending, Eren couldn’t sleep. She really had to stop listening to grandfather’s stories before bed. Tossing her legs over the edge of the mattress, she sat up and stared out the big round window that overlooked the town center. It was one thing to spar in a tournament, but she didn’t think she could ever actually hurt someone, let alone kill them. A long sigh slid from her. There would be no sleep tonight. The sanctuary of her rooftop terrace called to her. She stood and put on a silk robe that was covered in a pattern of cherry blossoms—a Christmas gift from Aunt Sylvia. It wasn’t so much to keep the chill off as it was to cover her cotton shorts and plain white tank top. The chance of Aiden seeing her would be slim, but even with a slim chance she wanted to make sure she wasn’t parading around in boring sleepwear.
