Shiganshina District

4 hours after Armin ate Bertholdt...

You were in Shiganshina, inspecting everything possible, searching for survivors. When you saw a green smoke signal from the top of the wall, which means that Armin woke up. Everyone went with him, Eren started telling Armin everything that happened, because Armin wasn't remembering anything

Armin was obviously confused

Levi: Okay. Are you up to speed now?

Armin: Yeah... We won. But of the Scout Regiment, there are only ten soldiers left alive. The ten of us

Jean: That's what it looks like. The fighting ended four hours ago. We've been searching for survivors, but... No luck...

Armin: So, to be clear, we resealed Shiganshina's gate, securing Wall Maria. Reiner and the Beast Titan escaped, along with that quadruped. You manage to capture Bertholdt. And then, with both the commander and me wounded, you had to choose which of us to give the injection to. And you did... I transformed into a Titan and killed Bertholdt... I... I ate him... *breathes heavily*

Armin started vomiting

Jean: Here *gaves Armin a bottle of water*

He drank it

Armin: *breathes heavily* Why though... Why'd you pick me? No matter how you look at it, Commander Erwin's the one humanity needed the most...

(y/n): Are you sure about that?

Armin: Huh...?

(y/n): Erwin obviously was a great leader, maybe even the best. But did he figured out where Reiner was? Did he figured out who was the Female Titan? Did he make a plan to kill a 60 meter intelligent monster? I don't think so

Armin began to reflect

(y/n): What's done its done. We can't go back to the past and change it. Did the humanity have hope with Erwin in the leader rank? Yeah. Did the humanity NEED Erwin? Nuh huh. As Erwin himself said, he's replaceable. It will be hard to find someone as good as Erwin, but there will be someone somewhere. But how can we find someone with your capacities? I didn't found someone like that in all my life, and I don't think I'll find it either. Don't let anyone regret this decision, not Captain Levi, not Mikasa or Eren. And especially don't regret it yourself

Armin: ...

Hange: Y'know, since Erwin chose me to succeed him as commander, I'm more or less in the same boat as you. We'll just have to grin and bear it, while doing what we can

Armin: I'll try

Hange: Good

She standed up

Hange: Now that we know Armin's alright, let's check out that cellar. Eren, Mikasa. You two can come guide me and Levi. The rest of you stay. Keep an eye out for hostiles from here on the wall

Connie&(y/n)&Sasha: Got it

Hange: Eren, do you still have the key?

Eren: I do. Let's do this

They were about to leave, but Levi looked at you
