(Third person pov only)
As the world begins to change, so do people, especially those who see themselves as different, different in the way that their body doesn't align with their minds.
That just so happens to be a problem with Armin.
Armin Arlert (Referred to as Angelica for the first parts of the story) knew early on something was different about him, he didn't know what, but all he knew that he was different from his peers.
But even then, he found a small group of people he felt right at home with, especially with his raven-haired friend, anytime he was around her he'd always feel giddy, waiting for any moment to see her.
As the years passed on, Armin left to continue his schooling, transitioning in the process, he only told Eren, he wanted to tell Mikasa, but he didn't know how.
Armin soon started disconnecting from the world, he didn't know how to tell Mikasa the truth and it hurt him, how will he be able to confess if he doesn't can't posses the strength to care for himself...

With her help, Eren battles his guilt, trauma and mental illness.
