POV: Mikasa

Part. 1.

I was with Armin at the river next to the building that we were on the roof top of earlier, also being the same building he and Jean were taken to for our plan earlier, it was a warehouse of some sort. Armin threw up into the river then started to cry while coughing. Today, just a bit ago, He killed his first human being.

"Was it like this for you?" He asks me then crying more. I pay his back, trying to ease him "I'm sorry"

"It's okay" I reply calmly.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry" He repeated.

"Let it all out..." I say.

A few moments later, Jean walks out and shouts from the back door "C'mon guys, let's sit down an have something to eat"

"We will be right there" I reply then tuned back to Armin "Feeling any better?"

"Y-yeah..." he replies as he wiped his tears.

"Let's get inside" I say.

I give Armin a moment then we head inside.Sasha and Annie were outside keeping guard. Ymir, who was awake now was leaned up against a wall of crates, not in a particularly happy mood either. Everyone else else were sitting around a lantern. They were having some small talk, besides Connie who was eating some combat rations.
Armin and I grab a small crate then take a seat. Armin takes out his combat rations, he opens it up but doesn't go to take a bite. He was hesitating.

"Did all this filth kill your appetite?" Levi asks him.

"No.." Armin says then looks at Jean "Jean, there's something I don't understand"

"What's that?" Jean questions.

"When I turned around to save you, that woman already had her gun at your head. It's funny...how could I have shot before she did" Armin says.

Jean struggled, trying to figure it out as well "I don't know"

"You shot first because she hesitated. It's that simple" Levi states.

"I'm sorry Armin, you wouldn't of had to save me if I had just done my job" Jean says.

"I know what it is, that woman I shot back there. I bet she was a really kind person. She must have had a lot more human empathy than I ever did. I pulled that trigger so easily, without a thought. I'm-" Armin says then Levi finishes his sentence.

"A killer, but now that your hands have been soaked in blood, the person you once were is gone for good" Levi states.

"Why would you say that?!" I shout at Levi. I look at Eren, expecting him to say something, however Eren must know that Levi is right.

"And you shouldn't regret it for one second, because if haven't have chosen too, Jean would be a corpse on a cart right now" Levi says "I'll tell you why you pulled the trigger, because your comrade was about to die. Armin, everyone on our squad survived today because you got blood on your hands. Thank you"

Armin looks down, taking in what Levi said. Jean then speaks up "Captain Levi. I-, I thought it was wrong to fight other humans sir. I thought it was wrong for you to order us to do it" we became soldiers to protect people. Now, I see that I was in the wrong sir. Next time I swear I'll shoot"

"I never said anything about what's right and what's wrong, my moral high ground is shot to hell. I have no idea who is right at this point" Levi says then stands up "Well then. I think it's time we hear what our guest has to say"
