Intro
We stand on the precipice of yet another battle, the weight of our fallen comrades heavy upon our shoulders. Their sacrifices have not been forgotten, etched into our memories like scars that refuse to fade. Today, I find solace in recounting their valor and paying homage to those who gave their lives for a cause greater than themselves.
The Unyielding Spirit
Our fallen comrades were warriors through and through, epitomizing the unyielding spirit that courses through every soldier's veins. They fought with unwavering determination, never wavering in the face of adversity or succumbing to despair. Each one had their own story; each one faced unimaginable hardships and emerged stronger because of it.
Erwin Smith: A Leader Never Forgotten
Erwin Smith was more than just a commander; he was an indomitable force driving us forward amidst chaos and uncertainty. His strategic mind paved the way for countless victories while his resolve inspired hope within even the most disheartened souls.
I remember standing by his side as we stared down death itself during Operation Retake Wall Maria. Our mission seemed impossible—an uphill battle against insurmountable odds—but Erwin led us fearlessly into hell's mouth without hesitation.
His final sacrifice will forever be etched in my memory—the choice between saving humanity or fulfilling his personal dream of uncovering truths hidden beyond those towering walls. With strength radiating from every fiber of his being, he entrusted me with leading this charge towards victory—a mantle I carry with both pride and sorrow.
Petra Ral: A Light Dimmed Too Soon
Petra Ral possessed a gentle soul encased within her fierce warrior exterior—a beacon amidst darkness guiding us towards righteousness when all else failed us. Her precision on the battlefield mirrored her meticulous attention to detail off it—her blades danced effortlessly as she carved paths through waves of Titans whilst ensuring her subordinates remained safe.
I recall the day she fell, her life extinguished by a Titan's merciless grip. The loss of such an irreplaceable comrade struck deep within our hearts, reminding us that even the brightest lights can be snuffed out in an instant.
In Remembrance
Today, as I stand amidst rows upon rows of names etched into stone tablets marking their final resting place, I am reminded once again of the fragility and fleeting nature of human existence. Each name represents a story cut short—a future unrealized; dreams unfulfilled.
Oluo Bozado: A Fiery Spirit Silenced
Oluo Bozado was like a raging inferno—his fierce determination matched only by his fiery temper. He could always be counted on to bring both laughter and strength to our squad with his boisterous personality. His demise came swiftly during one ill-fated expedition beyond Wall Rose—an ambush from Titans cutting short not only his life but also the symphony he brought to our lives through his spirited antics.
Eld Jinn: An Unbreakable Resolve Shattered
Eld Jinn embodied perseverance—an unwavering resolve that refused to bow in submission when faced with insurmountable odds. He fought valiantly until the very end—the relentless onslaught proving too much for even him to withstand. His absence is palpable amongst us—his steely gaze no longer piercing through adversity alongside ours.
Conclusion
In this world plagued by chaos and despair, we soldiers are bound together not just by duty but by blood shed side-by-side on countless battlefields. Our fallen comrades live on within each one of us—they fuel our determination and ignite flames within our hearts that cannot be extinguished.
As I pen these words in remembrance of those who have fallen before me, their ghosts whisper encouragement into my ear—it is my duty now more than ever to honor their sacrifice—to ensure that their lives were not lost in vain.
We forge onwards, carrying the weight of their memories upon our shoulders—our resolve unshakable. The battles may be endless, but we shall fight with every ounce of strength within us until victory is ours and humanity can finally breathe free once more.
Humanity's survival depends on it.
