"I'm glad I could be a good person to you." "You've won your bet." "But..." "This is where my bet begins!" "We have identified a person of interest who may be the Female Titan." "Her name is..." "Annie..." "Mercy Raid on Stohess District (2)" "1)}Several Days Earlier" "They're late..." "Erwin and his men are keeping me waiting." "The MP escorts will come here before they do." "He's probably constipated and having a rough day." "Captain." "Don't be stupid." "I always talk a lot." "I'm sorry." "if I hadn't made the wrong choice..." "This never would've happened." "I told you..." "No one ever knows how things will turn out." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "sir." "You guys!" "U-Um..." "We have identified a person of interest who may be the Female Titan." "we won't let her escape." "The operation will be in two days." "on our way to the capital." "This is our first and last chance." "Eren will be remanded to the capital." "Our pursuit of those who seek to destroy the walls will become fraught with difficulty." "humanity stands to go extinct." "We will stake everything on this plan." "Here it is. and lead the target into this underground tunnel. we can immobilize her." "But if she transforms before then... we'll need your help." "sir." "As for the target..." "Are we sure she is in Stohess?" "our target is a member of the Military Police." "The Military Police?" "It was Armin who arrived at that conclusion." "He believes the target also killed the two captured Titans." "the same as you." "W-Wait a second..." "The 104th?" "The name of the girl we believe to be the person of interest is... wait..." "Annie Leonhart." "C-Crap..." "Damn it..." "That ring!" "She knew I was bluffing from the start." "She knew we would ambush her." "We must have had another way!" "Save it for later." "What do we need to do right now?" "let's meet up with Squad 3 and get above ground." "We'll follow plan B." "We fight Annie..." "The Female Titan!" "and assists in her capture!" "right?" "Yeah!" "Hey!" "There's Squad 3!" "Did the first capture attempt fail?" "It did!" "Switch to plan B!" "She stomped right through the ground?" "!" "We have to help them!" "Eren..." "Get back!" "Mikasa..." "The Female Titan's willing to let Eren die?" "She made a bet... she bet that Eren wouldn't die." "but it also means she'll be tough to beat!" "Annie's willing to assume any risk!" "What should we do?" "Our exit is gone. she'll be right there waiting for us." "But if we... who knows when she'll crush us?" "I'll do something!" "Like when I blocked that cannon shell..." "Come this way!" "Wait!" "Let's go..." "Stay close!" "Not again!" "No... of all times..." "It hurts!" "right?" "Picture it in your mind again..." "Clearly!" "I am!" "But..." "Don't tell me..." "You still have reservations about fighting Annie." "Eren? do you still think it might be all a mistake that Annie is the Female Titan?" "What did you just see?" "She's the one who killed our fellow soldiers." "How can you still think that?" "Shut up!" "aren't I?" "!" "Annie's the Female Titan?" "Why?" "Armin?" "the Female Titan knew what you looked like. which only the 104th trainees would know." "And the biggest reason" "Sawney and Bean." "How can you tell?" "Only someone very skilled could have done it." "which they're accustomed to." "wasn't that why they inspected our Maneuver Gear?" "But they didn't find anything on Annie..." "Annie brought Marco's Maneuver Gear to the inspection." "That's why she managed to avoid getting caught." "Huh?" "What are you talking about?" "What does Marco have to do with this?" "I don't know." "Are you sure it was his?" "I know what I— kid." "We get it." "Do you have any other evidence?" "I don't." "I think Annie's face resembles the Female Titan's." "Huh?" "What are you talking about?" "!" "That isn't evidence— but you'll do it anyway." "You have no proof?" "What?" "Then why do it?" "What if it isn't her?" "Then we'll know she's innocent." "That's all." "And then I'll feel bad for Annie. you'll end up being sacrificed to the people in the capital!" "You're crazy to think Annie's a Titan. isn't it ringing any bells?" "You fought the Female Titan." "Didn't anything remind you of Annie's distinctive combat style?" "don't you?" "You know Annie is the Female Titan." "shouldn't we?" "Or do you have certain feelings for her?" "Is that what's stopping you?" "Huh?" "I have a plan!" "using the original entrance and that opening." "Annie will attack one of us." "Use that opportunity to get out from the other exit!" "Wait!" "Then one of you will die!" "anyway!" "take your position!" "Right." "I'll take the front." "Mikasa!" "Armin!" "How?" "How can you fight her?" "How?" "!" "We don't have a choice." "The world is cruel." "Information We Can Share So Far:" "000 people." "Residency requires special permission and is technically restricted to the royal family and their relatives." "Information We Can Share So Far:" "which is considered the sole means for the poor to gain safe refuge." "Eren!" "I won't let you have Eren!" "Eren!" "Eren..." "I'll get you out!" "Open your eyes..." "Don't let the Female Titan escape!" "Don't let her get out!" "What happened?" "we don't need you here!" "Go see what's happening!" "Roger!" "Something's off..." "That explosion I heard..." "Nile..." "Deploy all of your troops." "We should assume a Titan has appeared." "Wh-What?" "!" "This is Wall Sina..." "There's no way a Titan could be here!" "Jaeger!" "I'm done with this disguise!" "moron!" "too." "Get your equipment from Squad 4." "Roger! but don't forget to do your damnedest to stay alive." "sir." "what is this?" "here!" "Good work." "Erwin!" "follow me!" "We'll rendezvous with the capture teams." "wait." "What you're doing is clearly treason against the crown!" "I'm starting to wonder if your brains don't even live up to that sorry excuse of a beard." "Seems to me that you don't even have a clue what's going on." "Erwin!" "A Titan!" "A Titan's here!" "What's it doing here?" "Run!" "isn't that a Titan?" "Yeah..." "But how?" "Out of the way!" "Damn those slackers!" "I could've been one of them." "What the hell happened?" "Damn it!" "Don't attempt to kill it." "Just try to slow it down!" "It's no use..." "It knows how Maneuver Gear works!" "I'm not going to make this easy on you!" "Eren!" "Answer me!" "Eren!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Jean!" "Eren's trapped!" "The plan was for him to become a Titan!" "He couldn't..." "I think the fact that it's Annie is stopping him." "Annie?" "we have to save him!" "help me!" "He couldn't transform?" "what the hell is wrong with you?" "!" "Didn't I once tell you that I'm counting on you? and this is how you repay us?" "Marco..." "Marco..." "Damn it!" "Eren..." "It's no use..." "We have to do something about her first!" "I said this once to Jean..." "Someone who can't sacrifice anything can never change anything... you have to be willing to throw aside your humanity." "Annie is certainly capable of doing that... although I don't know what her reasons are." "But whoever can do it will win!" "Annie! you can't make the same bullshit excuse that your bet's just beginning anymore!" "this way!" "Roger!" "It's coming..." "It's coming." "Squad Leader..." "You have a crazy look in your eyes." "Okay!" "but nope..." "I guess." "then..." "Be a good girl." "Stay put." "you're too far in to get Titans to devour you like before." "But don't worry..." "I'll be the one devouring you instead." "I'll devour all the information that we can drag out of you." "She broke free?" "We needed more traps!" "Don't let her escape!" "Follow her!" "Someone who can't sacrifice anything can never change anything!" "I know that..." "That's why I failed." "and I failed." "Remember..." "I'll wipe you out..." "No..." "I'll kill you!" "There's no time to figure out if this is the right thing to do!" "Just move..." "Don't try to keep your hands clean!" "That's right..." "Mikasa!" "The world is cruel!" "Now what?" "Eren!" "Eren..." "I will eradicate Titans from this world." "The same fury that led Eren to make that vow on that fateful day now spurs him on... to destroy the entire world." "The Wall Raid on Stohess District (3)"
