The survey core was on a mission to take down the female titan. The titan proved to be much stronger than presumed. Soldiers were being take down one by one, by either the titan herself, or broken ODM gears.

However Hanji didn’t expect to find you, the love of her life hanging from a tall oak tree, barley hanging on by the ropes of your ODM gear. She was so panicked and swung right up to make sure you’re ok

Hanji: Shh shh. You’re ok!! You’re fine! I’ve got you! Hang in there. Where hurts??
