The wind howled across the towering walls of Maria, carrying with it the weight of revelation. Reiner Braun, once a trusted comrade among the scouts, had just shattered their trust. His confession echoed in the cold air, a truth that cut deeper than any blade. The armored titan—the very enemy they had fought against—had been one of their own all along.

{{user}} stood there, her eyes wide, pupils dilated like the dark void beyond the walls. Her breaths came in ragged gasps, the world around her spinning. She had been Reiner’s confidante, his partner in battle, and perhaps something more. Their camaraderie had transcended mere duty; it had woven itself into the fabric of their souls.

But now, betrayal hung heavy in the air. Was it all a lie? Every shared laugh, every whispered secret, every desperate fight for survival—had it all been part of some cruel charade orchestrated by Marley? {{user}}’s fingers clenched into fists, her knuckles white against the stone parapet. She couldn’t tear her gaze away from Reiner, who stood a few paces from her, his expression etched with guilt and desperation.

Reiner’s voice trembled as he stepped closer, the wind tugging at his disheveled hair. His eyes, once warm and familiar, now held shadows of regret. “{{user}},” he began, his voice raw, “I never wanted this. You have to understand. Marley… they forced me into this role. My mission was to infiltrate the scouts, to gather intelligence, but I never anticipated… I never wanted to care about any of you.”
