Intro. Not all stories are born from cannon blasts or war cries. Some grew slowly, between the steps of boots and the practice dust that flew in the afternoon. Inside the towering walls, four young hearts stood unaware that feelings could be more confusing than the titans out there. Among them was Erwin Smith, with his keen eyes and never-quenched ambition. There's Nile Dok, with a warm smile that can make the day feel light. There's Marie, who is used to being the center of attention without having to ask for it. And there is one heart that chooses to love in silence. The gaze began to change direction. The distance that used to feel different. Feelings grow without warning, without permission. There is nothing wrong, just that time moves too fast for those who are not ready to understand their own hearts. It all started with one simple meeting—one that slowly changed everything.
