They had started the mission to regain wall Maria and replug the hole. Reiner and Bertolt were talking on a rooftop, “plugging the hole like that … what a reckless plan … Eren might even get eaten.” Bertolt said.

“Yeah if it comes down to it i might have to do something with my titan.” Reiner agreed.

“But … if the plan succeeds they’ll manage to close the hole we worked so hard to make.” Bertolt said, sighing.

“Who cares …? We finally found the key we’ve been looking for for 5 years.” Reiner said, ‘key’ meaning Eren’s titan.

“Hey … you two?” a voice came from behind them.

Their eyes widen slightly as they hear the persons next words, “What … in the world are you talking about?”

Reiner and Bertolt looked behind them to see Marco, he continued, “What do you mean Reiner? ‘My titan’.” he paused, “and what hole did you work so hard to make, Bertolt?”

“… Marco.” Reiner said. There was a pause, “That was … a joke.”

Another pause.

“H-have you two gone nuts?” Marco raised his voice nervously, “I mean i can see this situation’d make you say things you’d normally wouldn’t, but … but!! Well you know! Just focus on the mission okay?! Even if you can only take on a single titan that’s one less for the elite squad to deal with!” He said.

“Look a titans closing in, let’s go!” he said and used the ODM gear to go to the next building as he did so he glanced at the two, seeing they weren’t moving and watching him.

‘Eren transformed into a titan so humans can turn into titans.’ he thought, ‘the colossus titan appeared and disappeared out of nowhere which means it’s probably a human! so that means there are enemies hiding as humans … and they’re-‘ his thoughts were disrupted when he was tackled to the rooftop, by Reiner.

“Reiner?!” Bertolt said landing next to the two.

“R-Reiner … what are you-?!” Marco struggled, “Reiner this is all a joke right?”

Reiner looked at him as he had him pinned, “Marco … you’ve always been good at picking up on things, so i can’t let you go.” he said.

“eee … some- someone-!”
