"Eren," Hange started, standing in front of the boy's – no, the man's cell. "Why did you change? This is so unlike you." Eren couldn't dare to make eye contact with the woman. For as long as he could remember, she had been the older sister he never knew he needed but he had betrayed her and the rest of their comrades. Did he decide to do that? Did he create those thoughts in his head? He wasn't too sure anymore. Eren remained silent.
Wouldn't it be best to kill her? Eren's eyes widened, staring down at his hands. What? He would never kill Hange! Hange was an amazing woman, why would he want to kill her?
"Eren?" spoke Hange once more before deciding to unlock the man's cell door, entering the small room, and sitting on the edge of his bed. "What's going on? You can tell me."
Glancing at the woman who seemed so tired now a days, he sighed and nodded. "I keep getting these random thoughts that don't make sense in my head. For example, jut now I got one about killing you when I was originally thinking about whether I decided to betray you or not. It doesn't make sense to me anymore." The man said, burying his face in his hands. Although Hange was a bit disturbed by the fact Eren had thoughts of killing her, what concerned her most was the fact that Eren didn't feel in control of these thoughts. "Hange-san, am I going insane?"
"No," was the woman's immediate answer. "You're not going insane, Eren. It's just... something could be possibly influencing you to do and think these sorts of things. We're going to sort this out, alright?" Eren nodded, eyes closing on their own as he collapsed forwards, Hange quick to catch him and set him down properly. "I'll figure this out and sort whatever is happening out. I promise." Leaving the man to sleep, Hange made her way to where Zeke was being held a few corridors down.
"Hange? What do I owe the pleasure?" the blonde Jaeger asked, standing up to greet her properly. Hange smiled at the man.
"I... need your help. It's clear somethings going on with Eren," Hange explained. "He told me just now before he collapsed that he's been having weird thoughts that don't mix with any of the thoughts he's had previously. Earlier when we were talking he was wondering if he had decided to betray us when he had a thought of killing me. do you have any idea about what could be happening?"
Zeke was silent for a moment before his eyes suddenly widened, a haunted look suddenly replacing the curious and concerned one from before. "When did he start acting like he is now?" he asked frantically.
"About two or three years ago now, why?"
"Shit," the blonde swore, running his hands through his hair. "Look, I know I'm not supposed to see him, but please. I need to. If we don't fix this, he's going to become a puppet. More so than he already is." Hange was shocked at Zeke's revelation but hastily unlocked his cell and lead him to Eren's, unlocking and entering with him. the brunette watched as Zeke rushed to his brother's side, checking over him before glaring at seemingly nothing.
"Ymir!" he yelled and suddenly, a little blonde child appeared and Eren bolted awake. "Why have you been using my brother as your pawn? He is not a pawn!" Ymir stayed silent. "I know damn well you can speak, so speak."
"He was easy to manipulate," Ymir replied, crossing her arms, and seemingly glaring at Zeke. "He wants the extinction of titans, and I want the Eldian people to be free. I always have. It's a win-win situation, don't you think?"
"It's not a 'win-win situation', child. My brother does not deserve this!" Zeke argued, standing up to face the child properly. "You are to leave my brother alone, and never go near him again. He only has three years left, and I refuse to let you taint those three years. Now leave and never return." Though the girl, Ymir, wanted to say something, she bowed her head and disappeared as Zeke turned to his little brother who seemed just as confused as Hange was. "She won't manipulate your thoughts nor your actions anymore, brother." He assured gently, pulling the covers over him before sitting down on the floor.
An hour went by when Levi came down, freaking out slightly at the sight of Eren and Zeke in the same cell together before calming down when he realised the two were touching and nothing seemed to be happening. "What happened?" he asked, crossing his arms, and leaning against the wall.
Hange sighed. "A lot." She whispered quietly; voice low to allow the two men who she considered to be boys after what they had told her about their childhoods to sleep. "Turns out, Eren was being manipulated by a girl called Ymir. He only wanted to kill titans, not any enemies we have outside our walls. Ymir was praying on his drive to kill titans and included her drive to free the people of Eldia. That's where it all started; Ymir's drive to free the people of Eldia. Luckily, Zeke was able to stop her from influencing and manipulating Eren further so there's no need to worry anymore."
Levi nodded, studying the two in front of him. It was clear to him now that Eren looked a lot more peaceful than he had in the past two or three years. Hopefully it stays like this for a long while yet.
