"Wake up! Armin, hey! Can you hear me? Come on! Snap out of it! I need you to talk to me. Say something! There you are. You with me now? What's going on, where's your squad?" Connie shook Armin.

Armin didn't reply, "Alright let's get you on your feet. You shouldn't be out here alone. What the hell you got all over you, that's so damn slimy? What happened?" Connie added when Armin didn't say anything. "WAAAAH! YOU'RE WORTHLESS! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DIE?! AH AHAHA AHHH! DAMN YOU!" Armin screamed.

"Hey you need to pull yourself together! Where is everyone?!" Connie asked. "Let it go, Connie. He's it..the rest of them are dead." Ymir spoke up. "Dammit, don't talk like that! We can't assume he's the only one!" Connie shouted back.

"Take a look around you, isn't it obvious? We can't waste any more time here with him. We've got to move on." Ymir said. "You're not making any sense! Why would the Titans ignore him?!" Connie asked.

"I don't know. Maybe they thought he was already dead or something? When you get right down to it that's the real tragedy here. Eren and the others bust their asses, and the one left standing is him." Ymir sighed.

"Alright that's it, bitch. I'm gonna shut your mouth up permanently!" Connie fired back. "Both of you stop it, right now! Look, we're all at the end of our tether here ok? We're seeing our friends being killed like animals. It's normal to be upset." Krista ran in front of Ymir.

"Look at my Krisa keeping the peace. You are so gonna have to marry me when all this crap is over!" Ymir laughed. "Yeah, well she best get a hold of that mouth. Alright come on, we need to get out of here. Are you able to stand?" Connie asked, holding out a hand for Armin.

Armin started mumbling things to Connie and walked to the edge of the roof. "But Armin?!" Connie said as he watched Armin maneuver away on his 3DMG. "Connie, hop to! We've been given orders to advance!" Someone shouted to Connie.

Connie walked away, following the others. 'I was wrong, this world hasn't become hell. It's been hell, just couldn't see it before now. We're condemned, all of us have been from the beginning. Strength prays on weakness. It's a very straight forward arrangement actually. M-my friends they, they tried. They knew how the world worked.

They wanted to be strong..for me. Someone who only brought them down. In their eyes I was a victim! I needed protection! But all I wanted was to stand shoulder to shoulder with them, to be strong like they were. To be something!' Armin thought.

"Eh- ah!" He shouted, making contact with a wall that he didn't see. He fell to the ground and curled up in a ball, letting a few tears escape his eyes. 'This is how it all ends up? Eren tried to protect me!' He thought again, until he heard a noise causing him to open his eyes.

"Hannah, what are you trying to do?" He asked Hannah as he walked over to her. "Oh God, Armin! Help me please! Franz quit breathing and I can't wake him up! He won't respond to CPR! Come on baby, you got this! Stay with me! Somebody help us!" She cried.

"Hannah please, it's not safe on the ground. We need to get you on a roof-" Armin said, "No I'm not leaving him like this!" Hannah shouted back. "You really don't understand do you? Hannah I'm sorry..Franz is....please stop! Please stop doing that! I can't! I can't take it! This is hell!" Armin had a few more tears run out of his eyes.

It was raining, (f/n) got up and started walking back to find her squad. Even though her squad only had Armin left now. It was dangerous for her to be walking along the streets, but she couldn't use her 3DMG with a dislocated shoulder.
