After Armin was revived thanks to his loyal friends, the Levi Squad was given a memorial for their fallen comrades.
Ochaco: "Whoa, that battle was crazy; Have things always been like this for you guys?"
Izuku: "Yeah, a lot of battles like these happen almost every 3 months."
Katsuki: "Not many people are happy about that."
Just then, Ochaco, Izuku and Katsuki heard a loud voice coming from their friends, and got concerned. When they looked, they noticed that Floch was starting a serious argument about why Armin was still alive.
Ochaco: "Hey, Deku, Bakugo, I think Forster's trying to cause trouble with our friends."
Katsuki: "That guy; He's seriously starting to piss me off."
Izuku: "Come on, let's go check it out."
The 3 of them then walked over to the group and soon checked out what was really happening.
Eren: "What do you know about Armin to justify saying that!? Not a damn thing!"
Floch: "Yeah, you're right; I'm not a childhood friend of his. Hell, I'm not his friend at all. But, I can still tell you why he's the one who's standing here now. It's 'cause the 5 of you got emotional and Captain Levi did the same. You made an irrational choice. You treated that syringe like it was yours and wasted it! He's alive because, you think your friends are more important than the rest of us!"
Katsuki was getting furious about what Floch said, and both he and Eren walked up to him with serious expressions on their faces.
Katsuki: "Are you frickin kidding me right now, Ginger!?"
Eren: "Alright, I think it's time you shut your mouth."
Floch knew that they were definitely serious, but still kept going.
Floch: "Eren, I bet that even at your core, you still believe you're completely certain that you're always in the right. That's why you and Katsuki wouldn't give up. You're like little kids who won't listen to reason."
Suddenly, Mikasa came from behind, and touched their shoulders to prevent them from getting any further.
Mikasa: "Eren, Katsuki, just let it be alright?"
Floch: "At least Mikasa acted like an adult out there, but I saw her give up in the end."
After hearing what he said, Mikasa backed up slowly while letting go of Eren and Katsuki, and felt upset. Ochaco saw this, and she got help from Jean and Connie to stop Floch from continuing.
Ochaco: "Hey, what the hell's wrong with you!?"
Jean: "Hey, Floch, let's not do this during the memorial of our fallen comrades."
Connie: "What's done is done; There's no sense in dredging it up again."
Floch: "As for the rest of you, you might not have acted against your superiors, but you didn't try to stop Eren and Mikasa either. You didn't do anything but watch. Medals? For what? A memorial for who? When you guys start rebuilding 'The Survey Corps', you better tell your recruits the truth, or else you'll just end up with cowards like me in the ranks! What the hell are we supposed to do now that we've lost Erwin!? I know that I'm just faughter, I understand that my life's expendable, but still I should get to call it like I see it, and decide if this cost is worth dying for."
After hearing everything Floch said, Armin believed that he is right, and felt guilty.
Armin: "I think Floch's right; Commander Erwin's the one who should've been saved with the syringe. Maybe he could've turned the situation around. I can't though."
Katsuki didn't want Armin to believe that Floch was right, and decided to comfort him in his own way.
Katsuki: "Oh, come on; Are you kidding me right now, Bookworm? How the hell can you be so sure about any of that bullcrap? Look, I don't know what was the right choice back there, but honestly, no way in Hell am I gonna regret it. Hey, whatever kind of sick thoughts that people get into your head don't mean jackshit. Scratch those damn negative thoughts from your brain. Don't let their opinions get the best of you, Armin."
After hearing what Katsuki said, Izuku and Eren agreed with him and helped out Armin.
Izuku: "You know, I never thought I'd say it, but Kacchan might be right. None of us know what the future might hold. I mean we can barely imagine. Think about it, Armin; If we were to go outside of Wall Maria, what would we find?"
Armin: "The Sea?"
Eren: "Yeah, that's right; We'd find the Sea. A place we've only dreamed of. Water that glows like fire, fields of ice, giant rocks that'd take days to climb! How can we be sure of anything when there's so much we haven't seen yet!? On the other side of the wall, freedom is-!"
Before he could finish, Eren froze up quick while looking back at some of his father's tragic memories. This got Izuku concerned for him.
Izuku: "Eren, are you alright?"
Eren: "Yeah, just froze up a bit there."
Soon enough, Levi walked over to get everyone ready for the medals that will be passed out to them.
Levi: "Alright, you brats, it's time; Line up."
Soon enough, everyone lined up to get their medals from Historia, and still felt depressed about everything that happened. Once the ceremony was done, they went back to the bunkers to try getting some rest after a long day of fighting. They achieved the Colossal Titan, but they also lost many people. It wasn't looking good for them at all. Ochaco was still awake thinking about everything that happened, and couldn't get over it.
Ochaco: "(Man, this battle really was intense. It's so hard to believe that many people sacrificed their lives for the sake of Humanity. I wonder if it's the same way for heroes too.)"
Once she finally had all of her thoughts sorted out, Ochaco slowly closed her eyes and got some sleep after a long day.
