Your POV

It's been a month since that happened. Sasha's death hit us like a brick to the face. Ever since then, I've been loosing myself each day. Every day just get crazier and crazier.

Hange walked into the room, attention all on her. "You're the ones who leaked the info about Eren?" They asked Floch. "Holger, Wim, Louise... You three recruits, and Floch." Hange named them one by one. She sat down on the chair. "Why did you do it?"

"Because Eren should be freed. He hasn't done anything wrong." Floch replied in confidence. "He challenged an imposing enemy and grasped victory. Victory in form of the rumbling, which secures our fight to live. Eren saved lives of everyone in the New Eldian Empire."

"There's no guarantee that the rumbling works as planned and can save us." Hange stated. "At this point, it's no more than a myth."

"Only because you're keeping Eren locked up." Floch said in annoyance. "Do we really have the luxury of wasting time? At this rate, our victory will be squandered. Eren Jaeger will lead our country. Please, release him at once." He pleaded. Hange stayed silent for a while before speaking up.

"Yeah, you might just be right about that." Hange adjusted their glasses. "One way or another, I made the decision to carry out Zeke's plan. The full responsibility is mine. Therefore, I won't tolerate disobedience. You will be trialed for leaking information about Eren Jaeger. Have them confined."

Floch closed his eyes. "If it's for the sake of humanity, so be it." He huffed as they all got up. We all escorted them out of the room, and into their cells.

Mikasa and I put Louise in a cell.

"Have you ever been in this cell, Mikasa?" She asked her, walking more into the cell.

"Huh? No..." Mikasa replied slightly startled by the sudden question.

"I see. That's a shame." Louise sighed. She turned back to Mikasa and I leaned on the wall behind her. "Oh, I don't regret what I did. If victory is our ultimate goal, obeying the laws isn't the end all be all, right?"

"Stop it, Louise. You'll only be here longer." Mikasa warned her. Louise walked up to the cell, up to Mikasa.

"I'm still the same person as the one you saved that day. I realized something when you, a human, took down that Titan. That without power, you can't protect anything. I learned that it's okay to fight against senseless violence. Ever since that day, I wanted to get closer to you, so I..."

Mikasa grabbed her scarf and held it up a little; silence surrounding the area. "Why did you join the Scout Regiment, Mikasa?" She asked her. She looked back at me, signaling that she was gonna leave, so I followed her. "If it was for Jaeger, freeing him-"

"I only have one thing to say: Keep your mouth shut." Mikasa interrupted her. I took a quick glance at the girl before walking with Mikasa. I heard a thud, and saw Louise saluting.

"I'll meet you back there." I said, walking away as Mikasa looked behind her at Louise.

I walked through the halls and in front of me was Hitch.

"Hey, Y/n." She greeted with her hand up in a friendly gesture.

"Oh, hey Hitch. Where you heading off to?" I asked her as we walked outside. I held the door open for her.

"Checking up on Annie. I don't get it." She sighed at the end. "She's so famous, and all she does is just sit there in a crystal, looking like sleeping beauty." She whined as she slumped her shoulders.
