"Ha, you're acting like it's a problem for you," Eren chuckled.
"Keke. It could be just the thing you were looking for, you know– a blessing in disguise. I bet you've been getting some good shut-eye now that you're all alone.
Enjoy this break, Miss Timeless. Enjoy your me-time while it lasts."
"Well, I can't deny that," Alephee laughed with Eren.
"After being with you for so long, peace almost feels strange to me. You were a problem magnet in Anfang even if it wasn't your fault. So, I still find it hard to believe I've been feeling relatively calm for the past 18 years."
"Problem-magnet, huh? Kinda a harsh way of putting it. But I guess that's something I can't deny as well."
Eren's broad smile turned smaller as he looked at the three-dimensional spectral form of Alephee, which was standing atop his table at this point.
