Eren silently walked away, his steps almost faltering as if his legs were also injured. As he was leaving, he kept wondering why he wasn't receiving a notification confirming the completion of his mission.
'Come on... A man placed his life on the line for you after you broke your engagement with him. Just give me that one moment of regret, even if it's fleeting.'
Despite the passing seconds, he still hadn't received any notification, making him wonder if his efforts had been in vain.
Was it a failure? Did he need to try something else? He thought, extending his senses to observe the girl's actions.
His eyes widened in surprise as he saw her walking away as well. Not only did she lack any semblance of regret, but she hadn't even offered a single word of gratitude towards him.
At this point, Eren had almost started to panic. He turned around, looking back at her. He had to stop her from leaving, or the mission would be a failure.
