In a small forest. Jean whistles for his horses.
Reiner: How's your 3D Maneuver Gear looking, Armin?
Armin: It's okay... The clasp released as intended, so it seems it's not broken.
Reiner: I see... I'm glad to hear it. But what do we do? We only have one horse. If Jean's horse comes back, the three of us can move, but...
Jean (Thoughts): Damn it, why? Reiner's horse returned, so why didn't mine? We can't stay here any longer. In the worst case, we'll have to leave someone here... But how would we decide who to leave? Armin, since he's wounded? Reiner, since he's big and would have trouble riding with someone else? Or should I run and try to find my horse?
Jean: Damn it!
Jean(Thoughts): Why the hell do I have to think about this?! We all made it through that fight alive. This isn't fair...
Jean continues calling for his horse. Armin remembers the Female Titan staring down at him.
Reiner: Armin. Hey, Armin!
Armin: Ah...!
Reiner: Are you still out of it?
Armin: Yeah, my head's still a bit fuzzy...
Reiner: I see... But we must decide. It's a hard choice, but someone will have to stay behind.
Jean: Ah...
Armin: Wait! First, let's fire a smoke round.
If the formation continued straight ahead, the row 4-3 team should be nearby.
Jean fires a purple smoke round.
Jean: That's the signal for an emergency... But I can't imagine they'll understand our inventions from just that.
Reiner: Armin, we can wait another three minutes. By then, we must decide --
Armin: I'll stay.
Reiner: Ah...!
Armin: But there's something I want you to tell them for me. Preferable to Commander Erwin alone --
Jean: No, Armin.
Armin: Ah...
Jean: You should tell him yourself.
Armin: Huh?
Jean: Looks like someone's here... And with two horses!
Armin: Huh?
Jean: That's... Ahh... Krista!
Krista: Is everyone okay?!
Jean: Oh, that's my horse... Haha! Woah, woah, calm down, Buchwald.
Krista: He ran toward me, terrified... Did you engage the Titans? Armin, what happened to you? Are you okay?
Armin: Yeah, I think so.
Krista: Ah...
Reiner: I can't believe that smoke round brought you here.
Krista: I was nearby, and I already had Jean's horse.
Reiner: Even horses like you. It seems you have a strange charisma. You saved our lives.
Krista: But I'm so glad... that the worst didn't happen to you. I really am glad.
Reiner: Ah...!
Armin (Thoughts): God...
Jean (Thoughts): A goddess...
Reiner (Thoughts): I want to marry her.
Krista: Well, we should rejoin the formation as soon as possible.
