Ending animation
Stars, planets, and comets pass by until a small knife is seen soaring through the air, falling to the ground where a young Mikasa Ackermann runs through a forest. She comes to a clearing, where dozens of bloodied knives lay in the ground. Droplets of blood rise from the earth as the wind blows against Mikasa's dress while she clutches a small blade in her hand. The wind blows her scarf against her face until it falls away, Mikasa's face now matured and filled with determination.

In the streets of Trost, Mikasa in a Cadet Corps uniform watches as two birds fly through the skies. She turns to the gate of Wall Rose where she sees a young Eren Jaeger who soon turns into his older self in the Cadet Corps uniform. Mikasa approaches Eren as the two birds fly over the Walls, the stars hanging overhead.
