Today is Eren's trial. I've been ordered by the Commander not to do anything rash or absurd whilst in the courtroom - Yeah, right. If they go to kill Eren, my hand is going to be forced in that regard. Even if I end up dead myself. Luckily enough, Commander Erwin and Lieutenant Levi say they'll do their best to persuade Dhalis Zhachary, the Premier of the three regiments inside the wall. It's basically the Survey Corps versus the Military Police's word. The latter wanting to execute Eren, seeing him as a clear threat. I hope the Commander knows what he's doing, for everyone's sake.
I've gotta go introduce Hange to Eren, who is currently residing in a cell under the courtroom. I haven't seen him in days so I'm worried about his well being. Nor have I seen any of the others. I hope Mikasa keeps her cool, too. Seeing as she's present at the trial.

"Come on, (Y/N), stop scribbling and introduce me to the boy-wonder, eh?" Hange announces, dragging you along with Mike, another Section Commander.

You've gotten used to their antics these few days you've spent with the Section Commander. Also getting to meet some of the other higher up Scouts; Such as, Mike Zacharias, Gelgar and Nanaba. You didn't figure the Survey Corps were filled with such weirdo's, but they seem like a tight bunch.

Walking through the dungeons of the courtroom, your greeted by Military Police guarding Eren's cell. They give you and Hange shifty looks, apparently the two regiments didn't enjoy each other's company to much. Hange gasps, reaching Eren's cell, before grabbing onto the bars and shoving her face in between them.

"So you're Eren, huh? Are you okay? Anything new? Sorry to keep you waiting. But it seems you're finally getting out." Hange announces, startling Eren.

"Eren, you okay?!" You ask, glad to see your friend's face again.

"(Y/N)? What's going on? You're a Scout now?!" Eren frantically questions.

"Oh, it's really touching seeing you interact but we don't have time. You'll need to put these on, Eren." Hange interrupts, showing the handcuffs.

Eren nods, going along with the plan. Eren arms are cuffed behind his back, and you all start making your way out of the dungeon. Mike begins sniffing Eren, something he did to you the first time you met.

"I'm Hange Zoe, a Survey Corps squad leader. And this lovely fellow sniffing you is Mike Zacharius, another squad leader." Hange introduces, as Eren gets more uncomfortable with Mike's sniffing.

"Don't worry he does that to everyone he meets the first time, a habit I guess. And then smirking." Hange continues, watching the tall blonde smirk.

"Oh, sorry! Too much chit chat. We're already here." Hange announces, stoping at closed wooden doors.

"I'm sorry about this, Eren. But it's better not to get any explanation in advance." You apologise, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Eren was then escorted into the courtroom, only to be stopped by Hange's final words to him.

"I know it's selfish, but we have no choice but to blindly trust you. Even if your friends have high opinions of you. Good luck!" Hange finishes, closing the wooden doors.

You stare at the closed doors for a moment, a sorrowful look on your face. You though you could at least have a little more time, but the world doesn't play to a single persons rule. Sighing, you followed Hange through a different door, into the same military courtroom. You walk over to the side stands, where other members of the Survey Corps were standing. As well as Mikasa and Armin, who you was also glad to see. Standing next to Armin, he seems happy at your presence, but this situation squashed it pretty quickly.
