reiner can feel the rhythm of bertholdt’s heart. it echoes through his bones in painful knocks and lines. it weeps in the blood that seeps through his veins like honey. he can feel it in every step he takes: the steady drum of his life, keeping count as time trickles onward and leaves the past behind. it sings in his body and it bellows in his mind. it pounds in his dreams until his ears bleed.
but reiner does not mind. for as long as he can feel bertholdt’s heartbeat inside his own, he can believe that bertholdt is still alive.
I’ve been facing art theft pretty frequently on Tumblr, so I wasn’t sure whether to post this comic here or not, but people have been very nice and asked for an English translation. Thank you for your interest and support, I hope you will enjoy the comic.
