"Who are Mikasa, and Armin? Who are you talking about?"

"I-I don't know. I can't know. I don't know whose memories are these!"

"Eren." He blinked. Armin's face was in front of him before snapping his fingers.

"Is anyone home?" Armin japed with a smile before tapping his forehead as if it were a door.

"Yes, I'm home Armin. I wasn't really paying attention." Eren said before letting out a yawn. His blonde friend chuckled before stepping away. An hour had passed since they went inside the basement.

Eren was waiting outside. Being in this place, a part of him still couldn't believe he was back in his hometown. When they had passed through the gate, Eren had expected everything to be as it once was, but that only lasted for a moment.

Eren remembered that everything was gone, including his mother. He didn't know where Zeke had gone, either. He knew he needed time by himself, but Mike had reassured him that he was keeping an eye on him at all times. Eren doubted he would try to run away. He had nowhere to go. The distance between Wall Maria and the Ocean was too big for him to think of turning into a Titan and running all the way over there.

"Eren, can I ask you something?" Armin asked somewhat hesitantly before sitting down beside him. In front of them was the artificial river that went through Shiganshima. The river was used by boats that had long been ruined by rust. Eren remembered when he and Armin would sit near the river, look around, and talk about their own theories about what was outside the walls.

"Sure," Eren answered, watching as small fish swam through the river. He didn't remember there being fish in this lake before the fall.

"I know this might come out as sudden. I was terrified, so I wasn't really paying attention, but if I remember correctly, the Titans walked inside the city almost immediately after Bertholdt destroyed the wall. Right?" Eren looked at his friend in confusion. Why was he asking about that all of a sudden?

"...Yes. You were there, within seconds, over six Titans were already inside." Eren said, arching an eyebrow, looking at his friend intently. "Why asking?" He asked, knowing he wouldn't ask such questions out of the blue, but Armin wasn't listening.

Armin looked deep in thought, biting on his lower lip until he suddenly realized. His eyes widened. Eren waited for him to finally answer him. Instead, Armin looked at him once again, but his eyes looked angry but sad, too. "Eren, I remember you once asked Mister Hannes how many Titans he could see every day near the gate. Do you remember how many he said?" Eren was now even more confused than before.

"Armin, what is this about? Is there something you want to tell me?" Eren asked, but more like demanding; Armin inched away from him; he looked down at his feet, opened his mouth, and looked ready to say something.
