Jean wasn't really sure if he preferred to be the one to tell about his death, or if he'd rather had Levi or Hange to have told Erwin, but it was what it was. It had been a while, so maybe it wasn't so relevant anymore that it needed to be mentioned. Which was a relief. Of course, it still remained relevant to Jean, even if he hasn't talked about it in months. Like he's moved on.

He had taken little steps to move on from it. But he also regularly took steps back. It wasn't as easy as he hoped, to just leave it in the past.

"Back in June, I went on an expedition with two of my friends. We decided to explore the Winter Segment and possibly find a good place for a teleport crystal. Due to the unpredictable storms, we were steered off course, into a dangerous area called the Wolf's Blood Mountains."

His tone remains calm, despite the subject. He had told the story enough times to be able to do it without too much emotion. Except his voice wavers a little bit from here on.

"There we encountered creatures called Werewolves and ended up fighting them. I got fatally injured. Then an earthquake hit the mountain and a part of the cliff I was standing on broke. I fell straight into the ice covering the Frozen Lake."

Which was, in the end, what really did him in, even if he had died because of his injuries.
