FLASHBACK

Your POV

It was a cold winter day, snow coming down over Shiganshina. My mom gave me one of her jackets that were too big for me, but I found it comfy. It was thin, but it made me warm. I wore the light f/c jacket, white scarf, boots that when to my knees, and warm pants.

I walked out of my house, and my friends were outside my house. "Hey, Y/n!" Armin greeted with a smile.

"Oh! Hey, guys!" I smiled as I walked towards them. "Are we heading to the tree, as usual?" I asked.

"Yup! If you wanna get warm, race ya!" Eren shouted as he ran off, Mikasa following. "Eren, wait up!" Armin and I said at the same time.

We made it to the tree we hung out under almost every day. When the tree was in sight, Armin and I just started walking since we were both out of breath; while Eren was celebrating his victory at the tree.

"Looks like I win again!" Eren shouted in pride. "You guys need to get your game up." Eren said, watching the both of us walk up the hill.

"Please, Eren. You run after the bullies nearly every time you get into a fight." I raised an eyebrow with a smile, breathing heavily. I plopped on the floor with my back against the tree. I took a look at my mom's jacket, admiring the warm feeling it gave off.

END OF FLASHBACK

Snapping out of my thoughts, a huge thud awoke me and I looked up at the ceiling.

"What the-" I hear Connie mutter.

"It's begun. The Titans... have started to move." Armin said.

"No..." I whisper to myself. I couldn't process what was happening. This was happening way too fast.

We turned around and saw Onyankopon with keys in his hands, dangling. "Onyankopon?! What's going on out there?" Jean gripped the jail door.

"The Marleyan Army is attacking from the sky using airships!" Onyankopon said, unlocking the lock in hurry. "About five-hundred soldiers, along with the Armor, the Jaw, and the Cart! Eren's taking them on by himself!"

Numerous gasps filled the cell in surprise. "He's fighting hard... but he can't fight forever! Marley will steal the founder from us!" He said. "Please, you've all got to help! Let's defend Eren together!" Onyankopon pleaded us, opening the door.

Connie held him against the wall, making him groan. "You can't be serious! Fight together?! After all you've done?!" Connie shouted. "This is your battle. Did you really think we'd take orders from a traitor like you?!"

"I-I'm sorry... But disobeying Yelena would only mean getting my head blown off..." Onyankopon struggled.

"You were the one acting nice to all of us while you were really plotting to take over Paradis with that wine!" Connie yelled at him, gripping harder.

"Connie, let him-" I tried to speak.

"You know what?! I'm tired of being betrayed! By Reiner... By Bertholdt! Annie, Cecilia... Eren! I'm sick and tired of it, dammit!" Connie ranted. "Why?! Why should we have to help Eren just so none of us can ever have kids?! Hey!"

Armin and I looked at each other and walked over to both sides of Connie, grabbing his arms. "Connie, let's hear him out." Armin said. He let go of him and I made sure he was okay and wasn't hurt.
