Tomas opens his eyes as he looks around and sees nothing, but pitch black

Tomas: H-Hello! Anyone there?

Tomas walks around, before seeing the Titan skull looking at him

Tomas: Y-You...What have you done.

The Skull retracts some eyes and looks at him

Tomas: W-What...the he-

The Skull eyes goes white, as Tomas wakes up breathing heavily and looks around finding himself in a room and pats around feeling a mattress, before sitting up

Tomas: What...was that?

Tomas hears a door slightly open and looks around and sees Grisha walk into the room

Grisha: You're awake.

Tomas: Y-Yeah...What...

Tomas holds his head as memories of the chase flow through it head as he glares at Grisha

Tomas: You bastard! You left me to die!

Grisha: I'm sorry...I can't deny it, I though I did the right thing allowing you to swim away.

Tomas: Well that didn't happen! You expect me to know how to swim!? Despite knowing us Eldians aren't allowed near the ports back in Marley!

Grisha: Look. I'm sorry. I'll make up someway.

Tomas: Whatever. Where are we?

Grisha: We're in Orvud District.

Tomas: We're still in Wall Sina?

Grisha: Yes, but we'll be leaving soon.

Tomas holds his head

Grisha: I forgot to say, I made a deal with the man that followed us.

Tomas: What?! Are you insane! He won't give in to it!

Grisha: Listen it was for the best. Do you remember anything at all? Like...Did you see the Titan?

Tomas holds his head as more memories flow to him

Tomas: Yeah...I remember...after you pushed me into the river...I saw something glowing swim up to me and attach to my arm or shoulder, and the next thing you know I'm here. What happened?

Grisha: You're dreams or memories or whatever they are happened. You turned into a Titan.

Tomas: Di-

Grisha: Yes, it had the skull for a head, just like your dreams.

Tomas: So...Does that mean I'll die in 13 years?

Grisha: I don't know...Since you're a different case. You didn't inherit one of the nine Titans. So the curse might now work on you.

Tomas: How did we end up here then?

Grisha: I had to beat you in a fight and take you out of you're Titan and I carried you here.

Tomas: Sorry, about that.

Grisha: It's fine, since you didn't have control.
Tomas: Can you help me with it?

Grisha: I don't think I can. I don't know if your Titan works the same as my or any of the other nine.

Tomas: It doesn't matter. Show me something, or more or less show me how to transform or something you know.

Grisha: Fine...Just to make up for the earlier trouble. Let's get going, back to Shiganshina, before the royal family sends anyone for us.
