Eren looks at Bertholdt’s unconscious body and turns his attention to Armin’s lifeless body

Eren: I should’ve known… this would happen. But, I had no other option but to rely on you. Armin…Why… Didn’t you run away? 

Eren hears something on the wall and looks up to the Cart Titan with a man riding it 

Eren: A Titan? Shit!

The Cart Titan jumps down from the wall onto nearby roofs before stopping in front of Eren as Eren holds a blade to Berthioldt’s neck

Eren: You just try getting closer! Make one move to take him and he’s dead! “What’s that? He’s got… Titan marks around his eyes. Is he the Beast Titan?!”

Zeke: Are you…Eren Yeager? 

Eren presses the sword to Bertholdt’s neck as blood spills

Eren: “If nothing else, I’m taking him with me!”

Zeke: You look nothing like your father. 

Eren: What?

Zeke: Believe me, I know what you’re
going through. We’re both victims of your father. You’ve…been brainwashed by him. 

Eren sees a split image with his dad and Zeke with their glasses

Eren: My…dad? 

Zeke glances up and sees Y/N and Levi looking at him covered in Titan blood 

Zeke: Argh…You’re kidding me! They chased me all the way here? 

Y/N and Levi slide down the wall making their way towards Zeke

Zeke: Let’s call it a draw, Levi. Y/N i’ll handle you later, we’re in no shape to fight. Bertholdt…I’m sorry, but I think this is the end for you. Eren! Someday, I’ll come back to rescue you!

Zeke and the Cart Titan run off shocking Eren

Eren: He ran? Why? 

Y/N and Levi land in front of Eren

Eren: Captain! Y/N! 

Levi: That was the last of my gas. I’ll chase him! Hand over your gas and blades! 

Eren: Right!

Levi: Y/N can you chase him?

Y/N: If I am smart with my gas and blades I should be able to keep up. 

Levi: Alright, Eren hurry! 

Eren struggles taking off his gear and stops as Armin’s body slightly moves

Elsewhere

Hange integrates Reiner

Hange: Reiner…What’s this metal case you had in your left chest pocket? Before we chopped off all your limbs, you tried to grab it with the strength you had left. Suicide pills? Or perhaps a bomb? 

Mikasa wraps Jean up in bandages and tightens it

Jean: Ouch!

Mikasa: Sorry.

Reiner: A letter…

Hange: A letter? What kind of letter? 

Reiner: A letter…From Ymir. You have to…. Give it…to Krista…and Y/N. 

Hange: Only after we’ve inspected it. 

Hange puts away the metal case before pulling out a blade

Hange: Now then. I’ve got a mountain of questions for you, but your lips seem as tight as your armor is hard. Are you going to cooperate and tell us everything that we want to know?
