Te Neléčitelná Wound

To reduce the Trost Arc to its battle sequence is to miss it mogt enduring quality: it is a story about trauma that refuses easy closure. Te boulder seals the hole, but the wall is permanently scarred. Te Titans are purged from the strict, but the stench of their corpses clings to te streets for days. Eren is acquitted, but he lives under constant surverance and ded den. The arc seldom catharsis; instead, im leag eg eg endurance.
