Chapter 62 (Rewritten)

*WARNING* Any Gabi haters, this chapter might piss you off. But I don't care, and I don't want to hear any of y'all in the comments. You can hate what she did, but she's still a kid who was raised and manipulated by bad influences.

Remnants of the Wall: CH.VII

And so, a group called the Yeagerists began their uprising. Their goal? To bring together Eren and Zeke, reforming the military with Eren at the top. The scouts were put at a position where anyone could be a suspect. We had no other choice but to surrender to the Jeager brothers. A decision no one wanted to make, but what other choice do we have–

*SLAM*

You didn't even realize you were holding your breath until you slammed your pen down against the table. You let out a shaky breath as you ran your hand through your disheveled hair. You were quickly stressed and tired from all the events happening. Having to struggle with all the news and recording everything done was not easy.

"Are you okay?" a voice asked. You were startled a bit by the sudden voice, now looking up. You found everyone in the entire room to be staring at you.

Well, everyone being your friends, Hange, and Niccolo who was for some reason being pulled by the collar of the shirt by Jean. Niccolo was grasping a wine bottle in his hands. It seems like slamming your pen against the table got everyone's attention for a potential feud.

"What...?" was the only word you were able to muster. Everything was suddenly a blur. You looked around the room, wondering when the surroundings changed.

"Where...are we?" you looked down at your seat. Since when did you sat down?

"We came here to visit Nicolo about the detainment. Have you forgotten?" Hange explained. You only stared at her with a somewhat blank expression, you blinked a few times before everything came flooding back.

"Ooooh, I remember now. Sorry. It's just..." you rubbed your head a bit.

"Everything's been so surreal lately..." you answered tiredly.

With everyone distracted, Nicolo got out of Jean's grip, looking at him with a somewhat crazed expression.

"A filthy captive, huh? Guess that makes us even, Eldian." he says before storming off. Jean and Connie were taken back by that comment.

"The hell was his problem?" Jean asked.

"I don't know." Connie replied.

Your eyes remained on the closed door that Niccolo just walked out of. You began to get an uneasy feeling in your stomach.

"There's something in that wine bottle..." you thought. You were tempted to get up from your chair and follow him out, but Mikasa's voice stopped you.

"You've been stressed lately." Mikasa spoke.

"Well yeah, given with everything that's been happening, who wouldn't be?" you replied. You winced at your response, that sounded mean.

"I'm sorry." you quickly apologized. Mikasa, however, was unfazed with the attitude. You went to pick up your pen.

"...!" you gasped softly as Mikasa's hand gripped yours, stopping you from picking up the pen.

"Don't. You should rest a bit."

"But I–"

"She's right, Y/N. You should take it easy for a while. You've been writing and interviewing almost non-stop since the attack in Liberio and...everything after that." Jean's voice caught in his throat when he said the last part.
