The fire birds woke him up at sunrise like they did every morning and for the first time in thirty-one days Eren didn't hate them for it.
He lay on his back on the thick branch platform and listened to the screeching with something that wasn't quite gratitude but wasn't annoyance either. More like the feeling you got when a neighbor's dog barked every morning at six AM for years and you finally learned that the dog had been scaring away burglars the whole time.
Still annoying but now I understand things better now..
