His quarters loomed ahead, a refuge he had once found peace in, now tainted with the sharpness of uncertainty. He reached the door, barely noticing when it swung open under his hand. The familiar scent of the room, wood and leather with a hint of pine, barely registered. He stepped inside and shut the door behind him, leaning against it for a moment, breathing deeply. Luca’s mind replayed Martha’s words over and over again. “You will fall with her, Luca. You will be her downfall.”

“Yes, sorry, traffic was... well, traffic.” Vivian nodded, though her expression was far from impressed. “Let’s get started then, shall we?” Just as they began discussing the project, Olivia’s phone buzzed on the table. She glanced down and saw a text from Lily: 'You forgot to put on deodorant, didn’t you?' Olivia winced. She definitely had.

-In the treatment room- “Eren who fell because of the monster's brunt apparently managed to inject the substance into Jacob's body. Jacob who had turned into a monster immediately fainted after getting the injection. Eren slowly rose from his fallen position. "Phew... he almost bit me..."
