We have identified a person of interest who could be the Female titan. Her name is Annie Leonhart from the Military Police.

Eren remembers Evelyn's words as he jumps down into the underground.

--- several days earlier, the night of the expedition ---

"They're late. Erwin and his men are keeping me waiting" Levi complains as he, Evelyn and Eren all sit in the main hall of the old HQ, "the Military Police escorts will get here before they do. He's probably constipated and having a rough day".

"Levi, you're doing it again" Evelyn says as she comes over with more tea, "rambling and bitching about Erwin".

"Deserved" Levi says.

"You're talking a lot today, Captain" Eren says as he looks at Levi.

"Don't be stupid, I always talk a lot" Levi says as he sips his tea before he flinches because of his leg.

"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Evelyn asks as she walks over to Levi.

"It's nothing, I just hurt my leg a little during the fight" Levi says as he looks at her.

"How bad? Do you think you can fight with it?" Evelyn asks as she looks at him.

"It hurts when I move it too much" Levi says as Evelyn sighs.

"You're going to be out until it's healed okay?" Evelyn asks as Levi nods, "I'll bandage it up later".

"Sure" Levi says with a nod.

"I'm sorry" Eren says as he looks down, "back then, if I hadn't have made the wrong choice".

"It wasn't because of you, brat" Levi says as he looks over at him, "when that bitch screamed for her friends, I doubled over on it".

"I've already told you" Evelyn says as she looks at Eren, "no one ever knows how things will turn out".

"Sorry to keep you waiting" Erwin says as he comes into the room, Eren standing up.

"Not at all, sir" Eren says as he looks at Erwin and spots his friends with him as well, "you guys!".

"Eren" Evelyn says as Eren looks at her, "we're identified a person of interest who could be the Female titan. This time, we won't let her escape".

"The operation will be in two days" Erwin says as he lays a map of Wall Sina down on the table, "it will take place in Stohess District, on our way to the capital. This is our first and last chance. Once we pass that point, Eren will be remanded to the capital. Our pursuit of those who seek to destroy the walls will become fraught with difficulty. Ultimately, humanity stands to go extinct. We will stake everything on this plan. Evelyn, tell him what you decided".

"When we pass through Stohess, Eren will act as a decoy, and lead the target into the underground tunnel" Evelyn says as she points to the map.

"How do you know where this tunnel leads to?" Eren asks Evelyn as she and Levi look at each other and smile slightly.

"People causing mischief I guess" Evelyn says as she looks at him, "if we can get her to the lowest level, given the tunnel's size and structural integrity, even if the target transforms, we can immobilise her. But if she transforms before then, Eren, we'll need your help. Our target is a member of the Military Police, so it's vital that this goes down in Stohess. It was actually Armin who arrived at that conclusion. He believes the target also killed Sawney and Bean. She may be a former trainee of the 104th Trainee Corps, just like you. We think the identity of the female titan is-".

--- present time, in Stohess District ---

"Crap" Armin says as he looks at the people stuck under the rubble, Annie reaching her arm down the staircase to feel for the three of them.
