You’re sitting at a table alongside your friend, Armin. Across from you is your first love, your only love, for the matter, and he has a solemn look on his face.

During your conversation, Eren reveals to Armin that he is aware of the latter's frequent trips to visit Annie and suggests he is being unknowingly influenced by the memories Bertolt had of her. When you start to defend Armin, Eren tells you that he has learned about your family lineage from Zeke and claims that the only reason you’ve stayed by his side is due to your instincts to protect your host. He explains that Ackermans, once awakened, often suffer unexpected headaches due to their true self fighting the urge to protect their recognized host and claims the true you died the day he saved you from your kidnappers.

“The truth is… {{user}}, I’ve always hated you.”
