"I'm sorry..." Frieda muttered.

"Frieda?" Rod questioned, as he saw her mouth move.

Five seconds later, Frieda's eyes opened and it showed a shining light light within them. As soon as Rod saw that glance within his daughter's eyes, he gasped and knew what it meant. The Reiss Family paused as her light blue eyes begun to glow.

"Wait! Frieda, no-" Before Rod could yell, his blue eyes had got darker. He had suddenly collapsed onto the ground, face first. And so did the rest of her family, as they passed out.

Frida sighed. "It's done." She then destroyed the crystal wall that her family was trapped in. She looked down at her family, one last time before walking away out of pity.

As she was walking, Rod was half awake, as he saw Frieda's backside, leaving. He tried to reach his arm out towards her. "Fr... Frieda..."

Frieda gasped when she heard her father's voice. She did not look back to him or her family, as she knew it would be sad.

Rod then lost consciousness and passed out on the ground.

A stream of tears fell down Frieda's face, as she continued moving forward, leaving her family behind.

"Hey, Frieda." Eren called, as he opened the carriage door, letting a small ray of sunlight in the carriage, shining on Frieda's face.

Frieda gasped as she had woken up from inside the black carriage. She lied and slept on her side, until she heard the sound of Eren's voice. She slowly sat up from the long seat and slowly wiped her eyes. She yawned, while placing a hand over her mouth. She opened her eyes to see Eren standing with the carriage door open.

"Did you sleep well, Frieda?" Eren asked.

"Mm-hmm, I did. I was dreaming about my family. How I took their memories. But, you seem a bit tired, though." Frieda pointed at Eren's face, as she noticed the light bags under Eren's eyes.

"Don't worry about it. I'll be fine."

"Are you sure? Because I can-"

"Yeah. I've stayed up over night in the Survey Corps. until the sun came up, numerous times." Eren once thought about his experience of staying up with Hange, listening to her stories and theories.

Frieda stayed quiet for a few seconds and looked down. "We must in Shiganshina, aren't we, Eren?"

"Yeah, we're here." Eren replied. "Come on." He stretched his hand towards her.

Frieda slowly crawled out of the carriage towards Eren. She grabbed Eren's hand and climbed out of the carriage, carefully. She took one step at a time to get out of the carriage and set foot on Shiganshina. The sky was blue, a few white clouds hovered within the sky. She looked around, left and right to see plenty of houses and a big river where ferries float on.

"This is your hometown?" Frieda asked as she looked at her surroundings.

"Yeah." Eren looked at his surroundings as well. At the people walking by, at the undamaged houses.

"This town... it looks really nice and everyone looked peacefully, Eren." Frieda commented.

"I know. But sadly, this peace won't last forever." Eren frowned a bit, as he thought about what is to happen later on that day. He stared at the front of the Shiganshina wall and visualized the Colossus Titan being there, grasping the wall. Then, suddenly got lost in his memories as when he was a kid. He had thought about when Bertoldt and Reiner in their Titan forms and breached Wall Maria, letting a number of Titans in and taking a number of lives.
