She had this power for a couple years now. She had it before and after graduating from the 104th Trainee Corps. Eren Yeager also had this power. Many tried to have Eren experimented and executed once they learned of the powerful and terrifying abillity he possed. But luckily, he was put in good hands with the scouts.

The scouts, instead of executing him, wished to use Eren's power for the good of humankind and wished to also use his power to help humanity win the battle against the Titans. Over time, even the people were slowly starting to put their faith in Eren. But that wasn't enough.

She couldn't reveal this power to anyone. Because she was scared. The scouts may trust Eren, but that won't mean that they will necessarily trust her. For all she knows, upon learning of her power, they might just kill her on the spot. Just like what nearly happened to Eren.

But who knows, maybe this time will be different. Eren is afterall, humanity's greatest ally. Especially because of his Titan shapeshifting ability. If there were any more like him inside the Walls, the scouts would likely want to use them like Eren. No harm should come to her if she were to fess up, especially if they knew that she was truly on their side.

But she couldn't because she was afraid...afraid of everyone in the Walls turning on her and treating her like the enemy. She was too scared. And she couldn't do it. Lately she's been so close. Close to confessing, but each time she nearly did, she gave up and stayed silent.

Armin has begun to take notice in a change in her. She appeared as though a great weight was weighing over her. And she appeared....frightened of something. But as to what she was frightened of, Armin had no idea. All he could really do was sit down and talk to her.

I sigh as I sit myself down on the steps outside of the Mess Hall. At this point, I really don't know what to do. I feel so stressed, I honestly just feel like telling them...but...I'm afraid. I'm afraid of the consequences. Of what may happen once I let it out.

I lay my chin against my knees as I hug my legs together. I could just cry, I'm sick of keeping things bottled inside. Especially since I know I can be of better use to everyone. As I rest here, lost in my own troublesome thoughts, I'm pulled out when I hear my name be called.

"Kiyomi...?" I turn my gaze around to see Armin Arlert. "How are you...? Are you alright?" He asked of me. He looked a little worried. I force a smile and tell him how I'm fine. But Armin knows me, and he can read me just as well as a book. So of course, he knew behind my smile, I wasn't okay. And he knows there's been something I've been hiding.

I turn my gaze away, and Armin sits herself besides me. There was a short moment of silence between us, but Armin eventually decides to speak up.

"Do...Do you want to tell me what's been bothering you?"
