It took them a while until they calmed down again. Armin's eyes were red from crying, but the tears eventually stopped.

Sasha stopped crying, too, and had an arm around Connie's shoulder and leaned against him as he still let a few tears roll down his face.

Historia wiped her tears away and took a sip of water.

Jean held his face in his hands as he took deep breaths to calm himself down.

Petra looked at them sadly, the scene they just watched was just brutal. To watch something like that...

Mikasa was staring at the table in front of her. Her eyebrows were furrowed together as she tried to control her emotions.

A few tears were rolling down on Eren's face as he couldn't hold them back anymore. He sighed and looked at Sasha, who leaned for ward to eat something from the table and chewed absentmindedly, and Eren followed her example as he now realized how hungry he really was. It helped him a little to stop crying and calm himself down.

Hange was in a deep thought, she felt sorry for the teenagers watching their friends die. She knows how that feels, as she had to watch comrades and friends die countless times. But it was never easy, and won't stop hurting.

Levi was tired. Tired of watching friends fight each other and kill each other. He was glad when this was over, he just hoped that not one more person in this room will die.

After half an hour, they were finally able to continue, and Erwin looked at them cautiously to see if they were really okay. Then he pressed play on the remote.

Armin tried to help him, to no avail, extending his arm. Connie's gun trembled in his hands. Samuel's face had three shots in the face. Armin got up to look at Connie, when he turned around, devastated. Connie couldn't even speak. Behind them, the Female Titan moved, trying to win her battle. Yeagerist were moving across the rooftops, one fired a Thunder Spear at her, another was crushed by the giant hand.

Petra flinched slightly at the sight. She remembered the fight i the forest when Annie crushed Scouts in her giant hand.

Levi noticed it but didn't say anything. He could tell what she was thinking and looked back to the screen.

Connie grimaced when he Samuel's face and looked down on his hands, which would do this in 4 years unless they would prevent all this from happening. He clenched his hands into fists as he looked up again. He would prevent this from happening, and he really hoped so that he could.

The Female Titan threw rubble at them and caught one and flattened him. The Armored Titan hit the building. The Yeagerists flew towards him, but he struck them and sent their remains into the sea.

The Yeagerist swung around the buildings until the Armored Titan kicked it, throwing the soldiers into the air. Both titans tried to hit them like they were flies. The Armored Titan roared with several Yeagerist surrounding him.

The Yeagerist waited on the rooftops, waiting for opportunities to join the battle against the Warriors. Or to ambush those who hid in the basement.

Inside the basement, Hange looked back, incredulous. "J-Just now... What did you say?" She asked, fearful.

"What?" Historia asked. "What's wrong?"
