I had to move quickly. As I've learned from Levi, there's nothing you can do after people are already dead. You have to move on, do your job, and mourn later.

There are still people I can save.

I followed Eren, Connie, and Sasha back to headquarters so we could all get our assignments. I may or may not have talked to Pixis beforehand and asked that Jean and Marco are always together. Both because I'm trying to avoid Marco's death... And I ship it.

We all filled our gas tanks and set off to help the Survey Corp. defeat the remaining titans. I followed Arm in and Eren's team, set on saving every one of them.

I flew through the air towards our rooftop assignment. Is this what it's like to be a bird? I wondered as I soared over buildings and through alleyways.

We finally landed at the correct spot and I pulled Eren aside.

"Look, Eren. You need to promise me that no matter what happens, you have to maintain self control. Don't just take off alone."

"Well why not? I WANNA KILL DEM ALLLLLLL-"

"Yeah, yeah. We all know. If you do take off, everyone else in the squad will die... Even Armin."

Okay, I had to embellish the story a little bit if I wanted him to follow my instructions. I think it got the message across because his face immediately sunk and he looked conflicted.

"Fine."

Of course, I conviently left out that he would loose his arm and leg and be swallowed by a titan... But everything turned out okay!
