Forgive & Don't Forget

[Annie]

I wake up early. I get dressed into clothes I was given. I do my daily chores, eat breakfast alone, then go to Captain Levi's office. He talks to me about what I am supposed to say and do. He and Hanji are on my side of defense. Nile, Garrison Leaders, and Rich Town Folk are on the offensive side.

I was cuffed and brought into the cold court room. There I was placed in the middle of the room on my knees. My hands behind me locked to a pole, this all felt so familiar.

~

Everyone has now entered the court room.

"Annie Leonhardt, the Female Titan, murderous, hero. These are all names that have been given to you, correct?" Zackly begins.

I nod. "I'm fimiliar with some, though the others-"

Zackly cuts me off. "In defense we have, Captain Levi Ackerman, Section Commander- now Chief Commander Hanji Zoë, and Eren Jäger- your personal escort. On the offensive side we have, Nile Doc, Mr. Strataman, and Rico Brezenska."

I wince at the name of "Mr. Strataman". I helped that bastard find his daughter, and this is how he acts.

Zackly begins. "Ms. Leonhardt, you have cost the Survey Corps and Wall Sina citizens hundreds of thousands of dollars. You've caused countless deaths, and unnecessary deaths. All for what? How can you justify this?"

I looked at Levi. He nods.

I begin. "I used to allied with the enemy. For that I apologize. Countless deaths, wreckage or not, you can trust me. It's plain but these deaths were for something. I would say, less mouths to feed, but more of "A New Beginning for Humanity". With me on your side, I assure you less deaths will occur. In the time that I have been in a comatose state I wasn't entirely there. I have learned my lesson, seen what has gone about around me. And you are to think that I enjoyed killing those people? If I hadn't I would have been killed myself and had my powers sent over to someone worse than me. Someone who would have kills triple the amounts of people I did. Someone who wouldn't have held back. But would have came for what they wanted, and left with it too." I take a deep breath. "In that case, I saved lives..."

"That's bullshit!" A rich citizen called out from the crowd.

"Offensive side?" Zackly looks over.

Nile steps up. "Although I've seen you in battle, and seen what you are capable of, you still have caused so much wreckage and death it cannot even be fathomed. Your carelessness has caused trauma and blood spillage among these walls."

"What do you propose?" Zackly asks.

"Full execution."
