Mina's POV
The information I've gathered about Pastor Nick is very limited. In the past, all I know is how tight-lipped he was, up until death finally came knocking on his door. Honestly, as someone who values loyalty, I can at least salute that.
The things I've said are the analysis I've made after considering the connection between the Reiss family and the Order of the Walls, seeing that their main goal is to prevent anyone from learning about the truth behind our cage.
However, after seeing his flabbergasted expression, I might have hit the bullseye with this one.
Not that the Survey Corps can do anything about it in our current predicament. It would take a while before we even reach that point in the scenario.
The good thing, however, that came out of my revelation is that everyone in this group saw how the pastor reacted. He didn't reply, but seeing his face was enough. It doesn't have to happen right at this moment, but I'm sure that it'll help in the upcoming scenarios now that they have an idea of whom to fight.
"Now that I think about it..." Captain Hange broke our few minutes of silence once she began to speak. "Annie's process of crystallization... I wonder if it's the same with the Titans inside the walls?"
Hearing those words not only did it make me pale, but it also made me realize something.
Didn't Armin of the Second World say that they've discovered their theory of blocking the wall using the hardened shell of a titan when they compared it with Annie's hardened skin?
Damn it, can they still progress even without it?
Not noticing the storm brewing inside my head, Captain Hange continues. "It's only a theory, but if the wall is a barricade of humongous titans, then wouldn't the surface be constructed with its hardened titan skin?"
"..."
Holt shit, praise humanity's intelligence!
"That's exactly what Armin was saying..." Mikasa whispers under her breath, surprised that their friend's theory resembles what the captain had just said.
With a plan in mind on how to seal the wall using a hardened titan skin, I decided to keep my mouth shut and instead listened to their voices. Ultimately, it will all depend on Eren's capabilities as a titan shifter.
"Use me... to seal the wall?"
Something inside me began to burn as I imagined how much pain he'd have to suffer in the future.
"It should be made of the same material. And seeing how the hardened section won't evaporate, even after you revert from a titan... It's possible."
After a second of silence, this time, it was Armin who spoke. "I think it's well worth the risk to try. And assuming it does work, reclaiming Wall Maria is feasible, too."
He continues to talk about a way to reclaim the said wall, proposing that we'll carry out the plan at night. By doing so, even with a limited number of soldiers, we can sneak our way through the wave of titans that are currently stationed in that wall.
"The current situation is as bad as it gets, but... we still have a glimmer of hope."
Armin agreed with the captain's statement, to which he added: "But remember, it all depends on whether Eren can seal the hole or not."
Again.
I clenched my fists in annoyance, knowing full well what my current expression was.
Why are they so adamant about pushing everything to him?
