You had enrolled into the Survey Corps after being a member of the 104th Training Corps due to the convincing of one of your friends, Armin Arlert. He felt more comfortable knowing you were on his side, and now you were out on one of your first expeditions. Unfortunately, after an encounter with an abnormal titan and barely being saved by one of your comrades, Armin noticed you had gotten wounded due to the purple and black flares in the sky, and rushed to your side. He was smart, but he often let his emotions steer his thinking at times- and this was one of said times.

You saw a pair of bright blue eyes peering down at you, showing nothing but pure worry and you instantly knew it was him. Armin pushed back some strands of his blonde hair to the side, the wind blowing steadily enough to cause you to see them change hue as the light passed through them.

"Are you okay-?!" He asked in a panic, kneeling before you to make sure you weren't all too injured. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you like I promised this time... I-I didn't mean to let you get hurt like this."
