Hey all! Back for @aruani-week-2025 fashionably late! I wanted to make a lil comic for this event and decided to combine a few different prompts from the list including: Betrayal, Mastermind, Lovers to Enemies, Secret. And what better scene to work on than this iconic Female Titan reveal scene??

I wanted to dip back into the little Reverse Au me, @aruanimess and @pitruli were playing around with a while back. Although, my take on this scene is a bit more depressing.

I wanted to present a bit of Armin's struggles created by the heavy burden of being chosen as a Marleyan warrior (a position he certainly didn't desire) and the inner conflict between his Marleyan self and the new Armin he created when arriving in Paradis.

Here, he could use his brain for a good cause, but it seems that no matter how much he tried, he could never leave Marley behind. He never wanted to kill anyone. He never wanted to invade Paradis. All he wanted was to study the world.

Putting up a front wasn't difficult for Armin, but it sure tore his heart apart.

Once Annie figured out the inconsistencies in his words, it all came crumbling down.
