14 Moji no Dengon (14文字の伝言?, lit. "14-Lettered Message") Notes: A message from Carla Jaeger to her son Eren before her death. There are two 14 lettered messages, the first being "Don’t be picky and eat your veggies!” and the second being "Thank you for being born".

Accepting suggestions that doesn’t make Eren’s mother sound like she’s attempting robot speech. 14 lettered message Another noisy day begins with shaking you awake “Don’t be picky and eat your veggies!” I scold you again, as ineffective as it is I wonder if you’ll come back covered in mud and wounds again? All this worrying about you is making these wrinkles worse Geez, being the mother to a son sure isn’t easy! But I truly loved those days, and this genuinely cruel world Oh…if only time would stop, because I wanted to be with you all Through these peaceful days…forever…and ever…and ever… But that is a foolish desire, for all humans will meet their end Children grow and surpass their parents, and that is nothing but happiness As ordinary as I am, I couldn’t find anything More valuable than my own life for the longest time That is, until you were born… -So Even if you’re not special, even if you’re not exceptional Even if nobody acknowledges you You’re amazing just for being alive So please don’t forget- Even if you eventually come to curse your birth I believe that you’ll not go down a wrong path So have faith in yourself - Oh, bird soaring across the final sky Please let that child know That I love him, I love him so much… Thank you for being born
