Y/N tried to build in her head a plan of action for the next day. Everything must be done right. Going to lunch in the dining room in the common building, she pondered the options and everything that would happen next. The explosion changed the situation with the Underground City development project. The problem of riots and discontent arose again. A couple of months ago, everything seemed to go downhill, and the project began to move faster, but... nevertheless, the Underground City still remained a hotbed of lawlessness, theft and knives. It only took them a little to weaken the regime in the Underground City... and what happened - happened.

- Should I go east to Krolva with you?

Y/N returned to reality from her endless stream of thoughts.

- Hitch, you stay here.

- Listen, I understand, I'm guilty, I...

- I understand that you're sorry, but... this isn't the first time... you really like me as a person, but as a subordinate...

- Y/N, please, you know... my dream is to leave the military police and work here and...

- And you don't show it to me. You show up late, you forget my errands, you hang around in the middle of the day when I need you, what are you waiting for after that?

- Y/N, please, give me another chance. I will do everything, I...

- I'll go alone, I don't need help. Not like this...

Hitch fell silent as they approached the food distribution. Y/N took a salad, baked vegetables with rice, some fruit and tea. She still wanted to eat. Hitch didn't annoy her anymore, just... upset her. She wanted work not to interfere with their relationship as friends, but... unfortunately, so far this hasn't happened.

They sat down at one of free tables in the dining room. It was now lunch time, and many military men were just here. It was quite busy in the dining room that there were only two free tables - the rest were somehow occupied.

They were having lunch, and Hitch kept trying to strike up a conversation. Y/N was more immersed in her thoughts and feelings.

- So they are still thinking about it?

- Yes, Reiner said that the decision hasn't yet been made for some reason.

- And for what it's interesting... I don't understand what they are waiting for. It's been over two months now, we've had so many meetings, Historia has shown and told them so much about our island, I don't know what else they're waiting for. They need to understand that there will be no more profitable option...

- We're all tired of their close attention. But in the end, it will end well...

Armin and Jean were walking down the corridors of headquarters for lunch, discussing a vital issue. Sasha and Connie followed them, chatting about something of their own. When they entered the dining room, Sasha and Connie immediately ran to get food - despite all the experience that they had gone through and their age - their inner children still lived in them. Armin and Jean were all talking as they followed their friends.
