Everyone was talking about how much he had changed, how he was the one who responsible for Sasha's dead. You were not there at the time they were arguing, searching for Commander Hange so you could talk with Eren alone.

Connie, ever so angry toward the man with emerald eyes and blamed him for the death of his closest comrade, arguing with Mikasa. Of course, as the sister, she would always side with Eren, no matter how wrong he was. Connie started to scream, Mikasa stand by her word, Armin tried to split them up, while Jean just laugh bitterly with how everything unfolded now.

But then the Commander came, with their eyes darkened.

They immediately shut their mouth, standing up and saluting Hange. Everyone was focused on their face, waiting for them to inform something, maybe about what they would do now. Though, Armin's blue eyes fleeting towards their hands; full of sweats and slightly trembling.

"At ease." Even their voice sounded so strained, their orbs looked so hollow as if they were trying to coat their own mind with something else. But they were there to deliver a message. One that hit them so hard, and they couldn't imagine how the rest of them would take it. "She died."

"What?"

Everyone in the room was too shocked to hear the uncompleted information. Neither of them realised who was asking, they immediately whirl their mind not to jump to a conclusion so easily. "Who died, Commander Hange?"

One inhale, Hange wanted to turn their gaze down to the floor, but they couldn't. They needed to deliver the message to the four of them — to your friends.
