- Eren?
There was a knock on the door. Eren opened the door so that only he could see the person behind it.
- We're going first.
- Yes. Has my order been completed?
- Yes, they sent the girl there. She didn't even resist. I still don't understand why you...
- It's none of your business.
Eren closed the door and walked over to the table where Armin, Mikasa and Gabi were sitting. He sat down at the table with them.
- «Was... was that Floch? Did you come here with him and the others?» Armin asked him.
- Yeah.
- «What was Floch talking about? What's the order?» Mikasa asked him.
- «I want to talk to you. Talk calmly. To resolve this situation, we can do without casualties», Eren began to speak in a cold tone, but without expressing any emotion. «Hange and the others will be fine. They'll just be taken away from here. Like Y/N was taken away... They'll all be safe»
- «We also wanted to talk to you, to find out what you think. Why did you decide to single-handedly attack Marley? Did Zeke and Yelena really win you over to their side?» Armin began to question him.
- «I'm free», Eren answered him. «Everything I do, every choice I make, is a choice of free will»
- «On the night of the opening of the railway, you met with Yelena, right?» Armin asked him. «After that meeting, are you also acting of your own free will?»
- Yes.
- «No. You're being manipulated», Mikasa jumped up from the table. «You aren't the type to involve innocent residents, children who have nothing to do with this... You think of us more than anyone else, and treasure us, don't you?» There were tears in her eyes. «You saved me from kidnappers, tied this scarf around my neck because you're a good person, right?»
- «I asked you not to get up from the table. Hands in plain sight», Eren told her coldly.
Mikasa silently sank into a chair.
- «While I was hiding in Liberio, I talked to Zeke. Brotherly conversation without strangers. During this time I have learned a lot. And Zeke... he knows more than he says, and much more than the Marley military», Eren continued, looking over at Armin. «Armin, are you still visiting Annie? Is this your will or... Bertholdt's will?»
- «What... what the...», Armin was confused. He couldn't figure out if this was some kind of provocation or if Eren was finally speaking directly to him.
- «If memory is the main factor in the formation of a person's personality, then part of you has become Bertholdt», Eren continued in the same cold indifferent tone. «The part of the enemy' warrior that carries the feeling of love for another enemy' warrior influences your own judgment. You're the son of Eldia, the owner of one of the nine titans. The former you weren't an optimist, helping the enemy... You had the power that always led us to a solution...»
- «Eren, what are you up to?» Mikasa asked him.
- «And now you keep talking about negotiations, because you're no longer good for anything. Bertholdt got into your mind, and then you're being manipulated», Eren continued. «Yes, and conversations are no longer your forte, because you have been avoiding the most important conversation for four years now, because talking with the enemy is much easier than talking to the one you love for so many years. After all, Annie cant answer, which means she can't judge, right, Armin?»
