Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie walk back to the cadet corps
Bertholdt: I keep having the same dream. I dream about the guy who hung himself in the fields. Why did he tell us his story right before he hung himself?
Reiner: Obviously, that’s something we’ll never know.
Annie: I bet he wanted someone to forgive him. Considering we left Marcel and ran, it’s not like we can say much.
Bertholdt: For some reason, I can’t help but think: That old man, I think what he wanted…was to be judged by someone.

Present
Eren: Hey. It’s been four years, Reiner.
Reiner looks at Eren in shock and fear and stands still as Falco looks at the two confused
Falco: Um, huh? Aren’t you two supposed to be old friends? Isn’t that right, Mr. Kruger?
Eren: Yeah. There’s so much to catch up on. I don’t even know where to begin.
Reiner: Impossible….Eren!
Behind the stage of the theater Willy looks at a reflection of himself as the woman with the kimono walks in with guards
Guard: Lord Tybur, it’s almost time.
Willy: Right.
Woman: My goodness!
Willy: Well, well! Come to give me a pep talk, Madam Azumabito?
Azumabito: I hope I’m not a bother. I just came to see your face.
Willy: Give my stage fright, I’m sure I look hideous.
Azumabito: No, you look courageous. My whole clan knows how brave you are. I wish you the best luck.
Azumabito offers her hand as Willy shakes her hand
Willy: I appreciate it, Lady Kiyomi.
Downstairs Eren looks at Reiner
Eren: Sit down, Reiner. They’re good seats, right? You can hear everything on stage. The building above us is all housing. It’s behind the stage, but it’s full of people waiting for the curtains to rise.
Eren points up as Reiner looks at him with fear
Eren: Directly above us.
Falco looks at Eren’s hand and sees blood on his hand
Falco: Huh? Kruger? Did you hurt your hand?
Eren: Yeah. It’s just a scratch. Reiner, sit down.
Reiner sits down in front of Eren
Falco: Well, I think I’ll head back.
Eren: No, Falco. You should stay here and listen.
Falco: Huh?
Reiner: Falco…Just do as he says.
Falco: Okay.
