[ There's a zoom in of orange-red before it moves back to resolve itself into a long-haired man with an eyepatch on his right eye, an unlit cigarette perched on his lips. He sounds slightly agitated when he speaks. ]

Let me get this straight. I got straight up magicked or whatever here to play hero? Didn't ask for this but here we are. If it wasn't for th' fact that I was kinda in mortal-fucking-danger a few minutes before and suddenly not, I'm gonna guess this ain't a hallucination. Feels solid enough.

Anyone want to give me pointers?

[ He seems to be taking this well... Is it suppressed? Is it because he's been through a lot before this? Who can say?

There's a deep sigh. ]

So yeah, before we get to the good shit and someone gives me the cliff-notes...Anyone got a lighter?

Yeah. I know that feeling. I don't even think I could make up most of what I've seen, though.

[ He's right. He's twisted because of what he's seen and done, but how could anyone make up the horrors of their world? ]

No, they're not all the same place. This place is pretty big, I guess. But it's easy to travel between them most of the time.

[ He shakes his head. ]

It's not a quick vacation. But…I don't wanna go home anyway, so I don't really mind.

[ Does Eren actually do anything to help save this world? Debatable, but he does at least care about doing so. If this world falls, where will he and his friends even go? Home? Hard pass. ]

There's things to do. A lot of people work in shops or whatever.

[ HE GUESSES, not like he would know. He doesn't have a real job. ]

There are missions you can do for the Guilds that sometimes pay pretty well. I just do that.

[ He calls them "missions" but he means "quests." ]
