3rd Person POV;

Eren watched in horror as Reiner dropped to the ground, his skin paling to reveal black veins. He bit his tongue, wondering how things could go so wrong.

Gabi let out a terrified squeak, but Porco stopped her from rushing to Reiner's side. Annie knelt beside Reiner and grabbed his arm. " You idiot! " Annie sobbed. " Who the hell's to lead us if you die?! Zeke is gone! "

Reiner, fighting his transformation, smiled and pointed at Erwin. Then he whispered something to Annie, and she stood up. She grabbed her gun and, fighting back hesitation, shot Reiner twice. Once in the heart, and once in the head.

Porco let Gabi go. The little girl wailed and hurried to kneel beside her dead older cousin.

" Reiner! No! " Gabi sobbed. She turned to glare at Annie, then hesitated as she saw the blonde female warrior clinging onto Pieck. Pieck shook her head softly, and Gabi turned to Eren.

Eren stared back at her. The hatred in the little girl's eyes almost knocked him off his feet. But he closed off his heart and turned away.

" Don't blame me. " Eren growled. " Reiner made the choice to save me. I didn't force him. "

Letting out a sigh, Historia knelt beside Gabi. " I know it's difficult to let somebody go, " she began softly, " but it's going to happen. "

" But- I just lost my best friend, and now my older cousin.. " Gabi sniffled. " I know. But.. you have to remember, you could have it worse, " Historia pointed out. Gabi blinked up at her in confusion.

Historia pointed to Eren. " Look at him, " she murmured. " He's been through so, so much. He had to kill five of his friends and comrades, including those he loved on a deeper level. "

Eren glared at Historia, but there was no real hatred in his eyes. Just grief and regret. Gabi gulped. Ymir nodded slowly. Hange scooted closer to Erwin and Levi. Levi was staring at the ground, his gray eyes dark.

" Do you see it? " Historia asked quietly. Gabi blinked at her. " This is only your third loss. You have to get used to it, or grief will lead you to your death. " Historia told her. Gabi nodded slowly. Historia smiled gently at her, then stood up and walked over to Ymir, hugging her tight.

The group jumped as a window shattered. All eyes turned toward the sound, and Hange gasped and fell to their knees.

A tall, light-brown-haired figure stood inside the broken window. " Moblit! " Hange cried. " You're alive! "

" Hange.. " Moblit breathed. Though he looked beat and battered, his eyes still glowed. He dropped to his knees as Hange rushed forward to hold him.

" I saw you guys.. moving.. and I wanted.. to join, but.. I couldn't.. call out.. " Moblit panted. Hange shushed him gently. " Let us treat you, then you can rest. I imagine you've been through a lot to make it here, " they murmured.
