"Oi, don't stop," Levi kicks the back of Pastor Nick as he looks in despair at the thousands of people that swarmed the streets of Ehmich in front of us. "You'll end up like a little lost kid." The man doesn't turn, though, "Th-This is..." Levi glares as he follows Nick's gaze into the crowd. "What did you expect to see?" You ask lowly as you look at the miserable faces that pass. Children cried out for parents who were nowhere in sight, mothers clutched sleeping babies, faces full of misery, people sobbed and clung to each other, everyone utterly defeated. "This is what happens when the walls fall." Nick gasps as he moves to go forward before he is held back by Levi's strong grip.

"Oi, where do you think you're going?" His stare darkens more as he looks at the man he holds in his reach. "Take a good look at the faces of people who've lost everything. The faces of everyone you and your people abandoned." Levi doesn't falter as he continues stating our wretched reality to the pastor, who looks forward in disbelief. "If your Church's wish comes true, and Titans come flooding through the walls, we'll all be gobbled up in their stinking mouths and die in the most miserable way possible. All of humanity digested as one."

.....

You walk by Levi as we follow Nick back to Hange, who looks at us as we approach. They quickly rush to our side as you stay with Levi's pace, slow as he moves with his injured leg. "Have you had a change of heart yet?" Hange asks, looking to the pastor, but he remains silent, adding to the bubbling irritation you feel in your stomach. "We don't have time for this! You know, don't you?!" Hange yells out as they lean into his face. "Will you talk, or won't you?! Make up your mind already!" Nick doesn't look at their face as he replies, "I cannot say anything... The other believers are the same as I, and that will never change." Hange sighs exasperated, "Well, thanks for nothing! We're so grateful for all the help you've been!" However, as they turn away, Nick speaks out once again.

"It's too great of a decision for a single person to make. The Order of the Walls must always adhere to the sacred will we're bound to obey." Hange turns slightly at his words, "Whose will? God or something?" Nick closes his eyes, "I cannot say anything. However, I can inform you of a name, who under their sacred will, we were instructed to monitor." We all turn to Nick now, "Monitor?" Hange asks as Eren, Mikasa, and Armin also look on in interest. "That person joined the Scout Regiment as of this year... Their name is... Krista Lenz." The three Scouts look together in shock, whilst you and Levi share a questioning glance. "You must find her at once," Nick says, eyes now sharp, "Only she... she may know the truths which even we cannot perceive. That is all the information I can share. The rest I leave in your hands."

Hange looks up, eyes flashing with realisation. "If she's in the 104th, then she's deep in the front lines right now." Eren looks up to Hange, eyes shining, "Let's go! We need to hurry!" He shouts before crashing into a girl with auburn hair pulled into a ponytail. The girl after realising she was on the floor, quickly jumped to her feet, grabbing a document and ignoring the questioning glance from her peers. "Upon my arrival, I gave your report to the Commander! Afterwards, I was entrusted to deliver this message to the Section Commander!" She says, eyes determined, as she bows forward and hands the document she held over to Hange. "Message? Thank you. Good work." You see Hange replace the document with a steaming potato in the girl's hands, whose face immediately lights up as she bites into it.

You shake your head at the sight before you and Levi follow Hange, who speeds ahead as they make their way down the hall. When we walk in, Eren, Mikasa and Armin are already getting ready, pulling on their ODM gear. "So, who is this girl in the 104th," you ask when you walk in, looking at the three, who pause, looking up. "She's the smallest one of us," Eren replies as Mikasa helps him with his gear. "She's got long golden hair. Um, and... she's cute." Armin continues as he thinks of how to describe the girl known as Krista. "She's always hanging around Ymir." Mikasa adds on as Hange perks up at that, "Ymir?" You and Levi share a widened glance. Ymir. Where had I heard that name before?
