Jean- Of course, as far as my home... I'll ask for prime real estate in the Central District. That's where I'll be gulping down the finest liquor at all times of the day. I'm not going to hear a single complaint about it. I've earned the right to live a happy life, along with my wife, my kids, and even my grandchildren... haven't I? We fought without lives on the line. And that's why this island has a future... so... Just act like you don't hear it. I didn't hear anything...
Jean- I didn't hear anything... I didn't hear that... Don't go... don't think. If you stay here, that prime central real estate is yours. If I just stay...
Jean neglected his thoughts and walked outside to see Hanji and Mikasa waiting for him
Hanji- Glad you could join us... Jean. Mikasa was just filling me in on the situation. I'm sorry I couldn't have been here on the ground... you've done a great job in this grueling situation. As for Levi... he's not fine, but he's alive. He won't be able to fight for a while, though. Also... we've joined forces with the remaining Marley Forces, including the Cart Titan. This is to stop Eren and Aether. We shouldn't be slaughtering one another
Mikasa- How are you going to stop them?
Hanji- First... We gather everyone. They'll be the ones determining what we can do. But we're powerless without help from you or the Nine Titans. The Military Structures we know have been wiped out... I'm not your superior any longer. I ask this knowing that, but--
Mikasa- I'll do it. I don't want Eren facing any more indiscriminate attacks... even if they're meant to protect me... or this Island. I want to stop them
Jean- Even if... we really were able to stop Eren and Aether... then what? Even if they're able to maintain the power of the Founder, Eren has only four years left, while Aether has 6 years. What will happen to this island after that? The World's hatred for us won't disappear overnight. We'll have to keep facing it for decades... to stop them, would be to destroy this island
Hanji- I think... That Marley would look at the situation and assume the Rumbling would activate the moment they try to attack the island. At the very least... I can't see them laying a hand on this place for a good while
Jean- They'll think the world could end at any moment unless they wipe this island off the map. It'll do even more to incite them all than Willy Tybur's speech
Hanji- You may be right... But we have time even in this hypothetical situation of yours. We should be able to buy ourselves a few years of time even if they do come to destroy the Island
Jean- But...!! The last time we looked for a possible solution like that, we ran out of time and were still empty-handed!! That's why Eren and Aether decided to wipe out the rest of the world--
Hanji- I'm not accepting genocide!! You're not getting me to agree with any reason to support this!! Sorry... I shouldn't have yelled... You're right, Jean. It was my cowardly idealism that made them turn to this... and while I might be screaming about this... I was the one trying to run away... to throw it all away... to forget it all and just survive... But... I'm still the 14th Commander... of the Scout Regiment. I devoted my heart to the freedom of mankind... it feels like I can see all my comrades. The vast majority of them died without ever knowing that humanity existed outside of the walls. Still... Just bringing freedom to this island is enough for me. Do you think a single one of them would be so narrowminded... as to say that? We only have one chance to stop this slaughter... and it's now
