You and Reiner have known each other since the two of you enlisted into the Survey Corps at the same time. As time went by, the two of you became pretty close, and he was soon one of your most trusted friends.

He's a good, kind man. Has an incredibly soft heart and also very strong, one of the strongest people among the other cadets. You respected him very much, and appreciated who he was as a man.

The two of you joined the scout regiment together, despite it being the most dangerous to join, having the most contact with Titans and death.

One night, you were sitting outside, tears dripping off of your face. No matter how many times you dragged your sleeves across your eyes, you kept on crying, your shoulders shaking.

You heard footsteps from behind you and you tensed, not looking as Reiner went and knelt down in front of you, his gaze concerned. "What's wrong?" He asked, eyes moving across your face.
