(Author's note: I will be posting more often for the next month or so since it's summer break, so expect more chapters coming from me :D)

Armin's POV:

"U-uh, well.. for starters- my first life was in the Titan ages. I am the Armin Arlert who killed his best friend Eren Jeager to save humanity." I explained starting to get some flashbacks of when Eren visited me telling me why I was supposed to kill him and then how he erased my memories of that talk until he died.

"Oh alright" My mom said trying to process everything I just said.

"I also think I have found my best friends from that same past life. Eren Jaeger and Mikasa Ackerman." I continued

"But wasn't Eren Jeager bad that's why you had to kill him?" My mom asked of curiosity

"W-what? N-no! Eren sacrificed his own freedom for the world's freedom.. he became a mass murderer so I would kill him and I would become the hero and the reign of the titans would end.. forever.." I answered looking at the floor.

"Oh ok.. so let me guess, the people that said Eren was bad were wrong?"

"Yea.. Eren had to make everyone turn against him just so we would have the power to kill him.." I explained

"How did you know that?" My mom asked

"Well, he visited me at one point and explained everything to me, and then afterwards he erased my memory of it and it will only come back when Eren dies." I answered

"Did he have a talk with Mikasa too?"

"I don't think so.." I said trying to remember if he ever said something about telling Mikasa his plan.

"Alright then.. you should get going to your college now, since it's almost 8 am." My mom said getting up.

"Okay.." I replied standing up as well.

"Oh wait! Why did you ask me now instead of when you first heard it?" I asked my mom

"Oh, because I wanted to recollect my thoughts, and I guess it took a week or two to do so." She explained

"Now, come on get to Titan University before your late." She said walking away.

I then realized it was 7:56 am. I was gonna be late for the first time this school year!

I then started running to the college which was 5 minutes away. If I would run fast enough, I would reach it in time.

3 minutes later

I see the school! I have around 30 seconds to get there before I'm late!

I then reached the school with around the 5 seconds left before the bell rang.

Bell ringing*

Phew, just in time. I then took a text book for the first subject from my locker and went to class.

I sat down in an empty seat and listened to the teacher talk about our new lesson for the day.

After school :)

I then went outside the school hoping to see Mikasa around the front before Eren came so I could talk to her.

When I turned the corner of the school I saw Eren and Mikasa already talking.

I approached them and saw Eren and Mikasa turn to me.

"Hey, so what did you want to talk about?" I asked turning to Eren.

Eren then motioned to go to a cafe across the street from us. We then started following him over there.

"So, you know that day I was sending you guys to jail?" He asked sitting down at one of the tables near the window as we followed shortly after sitting in front of him.
