Inside a cell, Gabi begins shaking uncontrollably as she holds onto a sack 

Falco: Gabi! Hey! What’s wrong?! Hey! Settle down! We need help! 

A guard walks up to the cell and sees Gabi

Guard: What’s wrong?! What happened?! 

The guard quickly opens the cell and rushes to Gabi’s side 

Falco: She’s in pain! I don’t know what happened!

Guard: Hey! You okay, missy?! 

Gabi looks at the guard and swings the sack at his head knocking him to the ground stunned, before Gabi begins swinging the sack to his head crushing it, before letting go of the sack as a brick falls out 

Falco: W-What did you do, Gabi…

Gabi: Let’s go now! 

Gabi grabs Falco’s hand and runs out the cell and out of the building and runs through the fields 

Falco: How is running away gonna help!?
Gabi: We’d be killed if we stayed! 

Falco: That guy was worried about you!
Gabi: Can you trust those devils! I can’t even trust Zeke anymore! Or anyone else! 

In Marley, Reiner wakes up and sits up and glances to the side and sees Pieck and Porco 

Porco: Having a nightmares or something? How I wish this was all a dream. 

Reiner: I heard Gabi and Falco’s voices. Where are those two? 

Pieck and Porco glance at each other

Pieck: Long story, so get comfy. 

On the Island, Falco and Gabi reach a small pond as Gabi kneels down and washes her face 

Falco: We must’ve ran pretty far. We through the night. Hey, take off your armband. You’ll stand out. 

Gabi: If any normal person sees it, they won’t know what it means. 

Falco: But soldiers will know what it is. Just take it off. 

Gabi: There’s no soldiers out here in the sticks.

Falco: Someone will see it eventually! Who knows if we’ll make it back home! 

Gabi: I don’t plan to. I just wanna get answers from Zeke, and Y/N before I’m caught and killed. “Did you really betray us and Marley?” “Why did you do it?” You can do whatever you want. You don’t have to follow me. 

Falco: Fine, then. I’ll do whatever I want, starting with trashing this. 

Falco grabs Gabi’s armband and takes it off as she lunges at him

Gabi: Give it back! 

Gabi pins Falco down the ground 

Falco: What for?! What’s the point of even wearing it here?!

Gabi: I’m a good Eldian! Without that, I’m the same as the island devils! 

Falco: What are you saying?! Do you even hear yourself!? You’re acting crazy! 

Gabi grabs the armband back

Gabi: Then, just leave me alone! Why…Why did you come with me? You didn’t have to die, too! 

Falco looks at Gabi as tears build up in her eyes

???: What are you doing? 

The two look to the side and see a girl near a tree looking at them confused
