You walked towards the Chapel alone.

The man at the entrance spotted you. You took off your hood. And you raised your hands up in the air.

"I don't ask for much. Just the truth. I want to see for myself what's happening in there and why they want me dead. Why you want me dead, father." You mentally praised yourself for remembering word for word what Hange told you to say.

Kenny chuckled and walked off the steps. "Already callin' me your father? My, my, I didn't even raise you." He pointed his gun at your forehead. "Cut the bullshit. What do you want."

"Ugh, fine. You want the truth? Eren Jaeger is my boyfriend. And I'd like to see what they want with him before I die."

Leverage your relationship with Eren, Hange had said. Eren will understand. He might even be happy about it.

"I don't have my gear, no blades, nothing. No tricks up my sleeves. I only want to see him. And Historia, my cousin."

Kenny narrowed his eyes pointedly, trying to pick out any traces of lying on your face. But you were technically telling the truth. He lowered the gun.

"Even if you did have any tricks, I'd kill you where you stand. And your taste in men sure is shit, little brat. Can't blame you, though. My taste in women was not the best either." He walked into the chapel and turned over his shoulder. "You comin' or what?"

That easy? Just as you entered, you made a hand signal behind your back, letting the others know the plan worked. Now, it was their move.

Hange asked you to act as bait. Levi was against it. But you wanted to do it. So, you were sent in to buy them some time, acting as some "innocent girl" who just wanted to say goodbye to her boyfriend, while the rest of them would sneak in with weapons and fight off Kenny's soldiers.

"I used to be called by your infamous name back in the orphanage," you said. "Kenny the Ripper. Never thought that one day he'd end up my real dad." You were also told to strike up a conversation and buy yourself some time. At least to entertain him a bit.

"S'that so? What'd you do to get little kids callin' you that?"

"I used to murder little animals for sport." Half true. You only did it to avenge yourself and your friends.

You followed him down the spiral staircase under the trap door. "How many?"

"Thirteen. I was caught for nine."

"Ever killed titans?"

"More than thirty."

He whistled, impressed. "Any humans?"

"Just the ones from your squad."

He smirked. "Not bad. You know what? Maybe I would've kept you after all if I'd known you'd end up like me."
