In a dungeon Armin looks at Annie's crystal and reaches to touch it

???: Hey!

Armin: Aw!

???: You're not allowed to touch the girl, mister.

Armin: I-It's not what you think, Hitch! I-I Uhh...Titan memories have been know to transfer by touch! I thought I might learn something important! I wasn't doing anything inappropriate, really!

Hitch walks up to Armin with a slight glare and walks past him and to Annie's crystal

Hitch: You are a guy, after all. I bet you wanna learn all about Annie.

Armin: I'm sorry, okay?! Don't ban me from coming back!

Hitch: I didn't plan to. Annie would get bored listening only to me.

Armin: Huh?

Hitch: Unbelievable. You're so popular, and all you do is sleep.

Hitch motions Armin to leave as he nods and goes with her and walks around the building

Hitch: It's great you've got a crush on her, but have you heard the news?

Armin: No.

Hitch hands him a newspaper

Hitch: Read this.

Armin begins reading

Armin: "Military Clings to Power by Wrongfully Detaining Eren Yeager." "Distrust in the Military Soars High."

Hitch: Because they're not giving the public any answers.

Armin: Well, they can't just disclose Zeke and the rumbling.

Armin turns to the main gate and sees a crowd

Crowd: Only Eren can save Eldia! Yeager's the only one who avenges the eaten! The New Eldian Empire needs Eren Yeager!

Armin: This is...

Hitch: There's citizens surrounding the entire HQ.

MP's rush to the crowd as one rushes past the two

MP: Hey, Hitch! Lend us a hand!

Hitch: Ugh! More work for me!

Hitch runs off with the rest of the MP's as Armin watches them, before turning to the side and seeing Mikasa

Armin: Mikasa! You managed to make it here, huh?

Mikasa: Yeah. We can't let this time go to waste. Let's go.

The two enter the building and walk up some stairs and glance out a window and see some Scouts

Mikasa: Scout recruits? What are they doing here at HQ?

Elsewhere in a buildings balcony Yelena and Pyxis watch the sky

Yelena: That day, I did go meet Eren.

Pyxis: Oh?

Yelena: I'm sorry for keeping quiet about it. That's enough reason to detain the volunteers.

Pyxis: How kind of you to admit it.

Yelena: They way I saw it, you guys didn't know the world. If you keep arguing and putting it off, it would be too late. Eren felt the same sense of urgency, too.

Pyxis: So, you convinced Eren to infiltrate Marley alone to get our military moving?

Yelena: Not quite. I said someone need to light a fire under the administration.
