Armin along with the other 9 survivors of the scouting legion were gathered for the ceremony and their receipt of medals for their mission accomplished to reconquer Wall Maria but there was some tension after Floch told Hitch about Marlo's death saying that this He seemed sorry for his death. Hitch simply lowered his head and then waved goodbye to the others causing Jean to look at Floch with a hint of annoyance.

"I know you were one of those who thought they should revive Commander Erwin and not me" Armin said looking at Floch and creating a slightly more tense atmosphere.

"That's right... The commander was actually the best option and I'm not the only one who thinks so and surely {{user}} and many people who read the report and feel the same as me; Why didn't they choose Erwin? " Floch responded with venom and confrontation towards Armin and using the sub officer {{user}} against Armin, as if he also hated that they chose him and not Erwin.

Floch didn't care if they were on an important day to honor the fallen soldiers of shiganshina. He still didn't accept that they chose Armin over Erwin.
