Next Day Daisuke (POV) Eren and I are feeding the horses. While my body is doing that, my mind is elsewhere. More specifically, the letter that was left for me. Daisuke *mind*- A love letter but from whom. I can't really even call it a love letter. It was more like a demand than anything else. I don't recognize the penmanship and the only clue I have to go off of is the signee's signature symbol, the A. I'm brought out of my thoughts by Gunther and Eld who were sitting on the steps having a drink of coffee. Gunther- Hey Eren, Daisuke! You know if anyone in your class is thinking about joining us? Eren- Yeah, there's a few. Daisuke- There were before the battle. Now, I'm not so sure. The sound of horses hooves can be heard running to our location. Must be Captain Levi and Captain Brennan. Gunther- Fall in! Levi and Brennan come to a stop. Levi- Make ready, people. We're going on patrol. GE- Yes sir! Eren and I do the standard salute. ED- Good morning Captain! Reporting for duty! Levi- Eren, you will stay within ten meters of me at all times. The same rules apply to you too Daisuke. Within ten meters of Brennan. Brennan- The only reason you're not in your cells is because we're keeping an eye on you two. Understood? We nod. Brennan- Now then, let's ride. Later that afternoon Hikaru (POV) Today is the day that we decide regiment we go into. We're currently at the place where the decision ceremony is to take place. Everyone from our class of cadets is here. Well, those who are still alive that is. Currently I'm leaning up against a wall with Sasha, Armin, Connie, and Annie. The sun beams down as it starts to dip lower into the sky. Nervous chatter fills the area but I tune them out. Annie- Hey Hikaru, can I talk to you for a second? Now this has my interest peaked. The normally quiet girl with the "doesn't give a flying fuck, I'm only looking out for myself " attitude wants to speak with me. I take a step or two to get over to the part of the wall she's leaning against. Hikaru- What's up? Annie- It's about Daisuke. What's his story? Hikaru-.....Not really much I can say about it. He was just the average energetic boy in the beginning. After dad died, he did change. He became a lot more serious. Became even more protective of me, Mom, Armin, Eren, and Mikasa. I guess he knew it was time to grow up a little. It definitely showed when Shiganshina fell to the titans, we were homeless and struggling within the walls of Rose, and when Mom was essentially fodder for the Titans when she was forced to go on an expedition with others outside the walls. Even with all the trauma he's been through, he still smiles. As I finish the tale, I can see Annie smiling and blushing.

Annie noticed and reverts back to her normal resting bitch face. I start to bust out laughing. Annie- (annoyed) What? Hikaru- It's nothing. You're adorable Annie. Hikaru *mind*- Can't wait to tell Daisuke about this. I finally calm down as Jean approaches. Armin- Jean, you're really set on the Scouts? Jean- Yeah. Sasha- Whoa, are you serious? I mean, aren't you terrified? Jean- Huh? Of course I'm scared, I'm not an idiot here. Connie- Then why are you- Jean- Because I am scared of the Titans. And I want to do something about it. But listen, I understand that joining the Scouts isn't for everybody. I won't guilt trip you. Unlike a certain pair of suicidal maniacs. Connie- Eren and Daisuke Huh? Guess they've been a Scout for awhile now, haven't they? A soldier calls out to us Cadets to fall in line and head over to the platform. It's time to make our choices. Jean- At the end of the day, there's nothing that anyone could say to persuade you into risking your life. Same goes for me. So believe me when I say this decision is all mine. Timeskip It's a cloudy night and the flames from the posts are the only thing lightning the place up. Mikasa arrived in time and now I'm standing next to her and Armin in formation. Commander Erwin is up on the platform ready for this thing to start. Erwin- Good evening. I am Erwin Smith, Commander of the Survey Corp, also known as the Scout Regiment. Today you will choose your regiment. Let's cut to the chase here. The Scouts need you. We need all the warm bodies we can get. After the recent Titan attack, you now know first hand the horrors of which they are capable. As well as the limits of your own skill. However, the battle's aftermath gave humanity a new chance for victory. I refer to Eren Jaeger and Daisuke Tatsuo. After selfishly risking life and limb, they have proven beyond a doubt their unwavering loyalty to our cause. Hope lives in these two men. Eren and Daisuke didn't just help deter the Titan invasion. They've offered us a means to discern the truth of their origin. Gasps and low chatter erupt from the formation. Even my eyes widen. Erwin- Intel suggests that the cellar of Jaeger's home in Shiganshina holds a vital secret regarding our enemy. We will form an expedition to find this secret. Find it and use it to break free from the Titans' tyrannical hundred year reign once and for all. Before we can reach the aforementioned cellar in Shiganshina, another problem must be dealt with. We must first take back Wall Maria. Of course, this is much easier said than done. Some soldiers pull up a map illuminated by the flames.
