He makes a habit of waiting in the small grouping of trees near the gate so as not to miss one of their outings. Eventually he learns to distinguish the small one from the others even before it takes to the air, and he feels proud of this accomplishment. Months later, only hours after the humans had returned behind their walls, everything changes. (In which Eren is not a human that can turn into a Titan, but a Titan that can turn into a human.)

He no longer knew Mia. And for his safety, as well as his daughter's, leaving her was his only option. But there was no running away from his past, only embracing it or die trying. No matter what, he was always destined to end up in The Village of Shadows.
