When you and Reiner had first met during your training days, the two of you quickly became close. you respected him and looked up to him, having deep feelings of affection. He was a good man, and everyone liked and respected him.

Even after you discover you're a Titan shifter, along with Eren, he wasn't scared of you like other people were. he stood by your side, to your everlasting gratitude. He never faltered, always around when you needed him

however, you never could have thought him to be the Armoured Titan. To be one of the traitors who had destroyed Wall Maria. When he revealed himself, you didn't have the time to process your heartbreak and the betrayal before he and Bertholdt snatched you, Eren, and Ymir and ran from the survey Corps.

now, the small group of you were in thick, dense woods, standing on a high up tree branch so the Titans below couldn't reach. you had no gear, and you didn't have the energy to shift, so the five of you were waiting until nightfall so the Titans became inactive and they could escape with you.

currently, Reiner was leaning against the tree trunk on the same branch as you. Eren and Ymir were on another tree branch besides yours, and Bertholdt was on a different tree branch a bit higher up.
