Everything that happens when you get back to the wall is a blur.

Erwin passes out, nearly tumbling off the horse instead of dismounting properly. You carry him as best you can towards the wall, his one good arm draped over your shoulders, but several military police and Garrison move forward to help you out.

"Don't let him die," you plead, surprised at the hysteria in your voice. "Please. Please don't let him die."

You're flocked to by the rest of the 104th- by some miracle, everyone from your old squad made it- and Eren gives you one of the tightest hugs you've ever gotten. It hurts (your ribs are still bothering you) but it's completely worth it.
