The clouds flew gently over Trost, the sun shone brightly. "I'll do it! I don't know if I can plug the hole or not!"

The group snickered while Eren blushed.

"But I'll do it!" Eren said in determination, Mikasa watching him intently and Armin looking surprised.

"Well said!" Pixis smiled, patting his shoulders. "You're a real man!" He stood and walked over to the edge of the Wall, cupping his mouth with one hand and raising his other arm. "Calling all staff officers! We have a plan to put together!"

"Huh?! You can't be serious!" Armin said. "It was just some half-baked plan I came up with on the spot! We're actually going through with it?!"

"That's what I thought, too, but there's no point in doubting his decision," Eren said. "Commander Pixis must be envisioning something that we can't yet see."

"Something we can't see?"

"Doubles because you aren't drunk?"

That led to more chuckles.

"Plus, I think there's a bigger issue that needs to be addressed before we can carry out the plan. And the commander is keenly aware of it."

"That means…" Armin said.

"That the Titans aren't the only enemy." Eren's response made Armin's eyes widen.

"No, they most certainly are not. Humans are definitely your enemy."

She said humans, plural. Hange wrote. Then we're right. The other unusual Titans, the Armored and the Colossal, are humans. Where did they come from? Hange's eyes widened. "HOLY CRAP!" She shrieked at the top of her lungs, shocking her couch-mates.

"Time is of the essence," Pixis said, grabbing the trio's attention. They stood and faced him.

"Hange?" Erwin asked, fumbling with the remote and pausing the episode.

Levi glared, his ears ringing. "What the fuck, Four-Eyes?"

"Are you alright?" Petra asked.

"IT'S SO OBVIOUS!"

"Not to us," Jean said.

"What's so obvious?" Armin asked.

Hange shot up. And started pacing around.

"Must be serious," Christa whispered to Ymir.

"Candy said humans are the enemy. But I don't think she was referring only to the people who oppose us, the Survey Corps. There are other humans out there." Hange gestured to the side with her arm, a dazed look on her face.
