In which reader is from Outside of Paradis Island (thought not Marley) and she tries to tell Erwin, even though her memories are blurry.
This is pretty long.

"Name and business."

There it was, the stern and strong voice that belonged to Erwin Smith.

She'd waited a long time to abord the subject with him, afraid of what might happen to her. Was she going to be arrested? Executed? Or only made fun of? Before she could just turn back on her heels and flee to her room, [Y/N] forced herself to speak up, her voice as clear as she could make it.

"It is cadet [Y/N] [L/N], sir. There is a matter of high importance I need to report to you."

"Enter, cadet."

She walked into the office, her stomach filling up with stress a little more with each step. "There is no going back now," she thought.

"Take a seat, cadet. Are you feeling ill? You seem awfully jumpy."

"I'm not ill sir, but thank you for your concern. This matter is only stressful to share, but it is crucial that you know. I believe it might give the scouts a new insight. Also, I feel the need to come clean about it."

He looked at her, not quite sure of what he should say. What was this girl hiding? Was she a titan shifter? Did she hold important information about the female titan?

"...Go on, cadet."

She looked up at him, taking a deep breath.

"Ever since I joined the military, I've been wondering if I should tell someone. Out of fear for my own safety, I didn't, but with the casualties from the last expedition, I don't know how much longer I have until I end up like that... and I can't die with the secret."

He could see that she was trying to hold back her tears as she whispered the last sentence.

"Cadet, this seems quite serious, indeed. Would you like a cup of tea to help you go on?"

She smiled at his kindness. "I'll be fine, but thank you for the offer, it's really kind of you, sir."

She took a few deep breaths, before taking what seemed like a folded piece of paper from the pocket of her scout jacket. She handed it to him, struggling against her anxiety.

Curious, he unfolded it, just to find what seemed like an... incredibly realistic drawing. On it, he could see a young child that looked awfully like the cadet in front of him, being held by a woman with the same features. Behind them was what seemed like a lake, but it was so huge is didn't have a visible end. Just besides the two was a strange looking tree he'd never seen before.
It seemed too real to even be a drawing.

"I know what you're thinking, commander. It's not a drawing. You see..."

Their eyes met, and the realization hit him a millisecond before she finished her sentence.

"...Humanity exists beyond these walls."

Silence took over the office during a few minutes, for only the clock could be heard. Erwin's bright blue eyes looked back at her, his mouth opened in pure shock, a rare sight to see on the commanding officer of the scouting legion.
