"And for now we have a new ending theme. This time it is Under the Tree, sung by the band Sim, who also did the song "Rumbling." Ray says.

"Another new song? I can't wait." Sasha says.

"So what's this song about?" Armin asks.

"The truth is, this song is the same as the first ending, it is about Mama's perspective." This causes Mikasa to flinch. Eren asks, "And you said that it's the same band who did the song "The Rumbling"... are those two songs related?"

"Maybe they are." Ray says. "Now let's begin.

Where are you at?
Where have you been?
Toikake ni kotae wa naku (There are no answers to my questions)

Where are we headed?
What did you mean?
Oikakete mo osoku tooku (It's too late, too far to follow after you)

Footsteps started to appear after the black screen, and it keeps moving forward.

Eren frowns after hearing the lyrics, "Is this what Mikasa thought after I did the Rumbling?"

As for everyone, they all frown as they remember how Eren has been trying to keep moving forward while indirectly leaving them all behind.

A bird, a butterfly and my red scarf
Don't make a mess of memories
Just let me heal your scars

"We know that the bird means freedom, and from the openings before, the butterfly means life..." Hange says. "And the red scarf, I don't think we need to explain that."

"Don't make a mess of memories... is it related to Mikasa's headaches?" Armin asks.

"Maybe. But we know for sure that despite Papa wanting to push her away, she still wants to share the burden with Papa and heal his scars."

The wall, the owl, and forgotten wharf
Toki ga tomaru koto mo naku (Our time is running out)

The screen fades to black once again.

We're getting older
Second, by second, by second

"Even if Eren doesn't want to do the Rumbling... we still have the Curse of Ymir." Reiner says. "Our time sure is running out..."

Black birds suddenly appear on the screen.

Why oh why, Why oh why
Don't you want to stay with me?

"I really want to stay with you... but I can't..." Eren closes his eyes with tears in his eyes.

"Eren..." Mikasa also gives him a hug, also with tears in her eyes.

Why oh why, Why oh why
Are you giving up on me?

The scene changed back to the person walking.

"I'm not giving up on you... but all this time, it should be vice versa, you guys giving up on me..." Eren says.

"We will not give up on you. We already promised that we're going to change the future together." Armin says.

"Indeed. Stop saying those things again. It starts to get annoying." Jean says.

I'll be waiting, waiting for you
Let me hold you under the tree
Under the tree-

Just then, the tree appears in front of them. It shows the tree that Eren liked to stay in the first episode, and then the coordinate, and then the tree where the life of all beginnings was found by Ymir.

"It seems that the tree really is important to connect all the stories together..." Historia comments.

I'll protect you!

The screen fades to black again, but when everyone hears the roaring, Connie says, "I guess what you mean is it's the same author as the Rumbling..."

"The scream in the end... it shows no matter how Mama is still willing to protect Papa." Ray says. "And that's the whole song."

"This song sure is shorter compared to the others." Levi mutters.

"And now we take a break until we go into the final part of the story." Ray says as they all nod.

And this is the small chapter for the song Under the Tree. I hope you like it.
