[Armin frowns, concern blooming on his face. Though, to be honest, it is mainly for Mikasa. At this point, Liberio is a vague entity, nothing concrete. Mikasa is his friend though, one of his best ones, and she is right in front of him.

Reaching out, he lightly touches the outside of her wrist.]

Please, I'd like to know it all.

[And then later he can figure out if this is something Jean kept from him, or something Jean just plain doesn't know about and needs to be informed over.]

[stopfen]

[She glances down at the hand. Looking at that instead of his face. ]

There isn't much else to say.

[Because it might be Armin. But it's not her Armin, not the one who she helped clean up after he shot a woman. He doesn't need to know that much.]

[schachmeister]

[Once Annie called Armin a masochist for his willingness to expose himself to painful knowledge. Unfortunately for Mikasa, Annie was absolutely spot on.]

I know you just want to protect me, but please don't lie.

[His voice is soft, understanding. There is no rebuke, just sympathy.]

You are hurting, and I want to understand why. Please don't worry about keeping me in the dark and innocent. Jean already ruined that.

Spoilers for post timeskip - this probably should have been earlier

[stopfen]

[Why did he have to be good at this? He really was the best at reading others out of the three of them.]

...

[It's a waste of time not looking at him when he could do that. Not that her height let her hide much, he just had to look up really. But she still doesn't turn.]

In the building that got...Knocked down. There were children.

[It's slow and she doesn't want to say it. Even if the Armin she knew had seen worse, had done worse.]

[schachmeister]

Children...

[Children. Just like they had been children when the Wall had fallen. In war, sacrifices had to be made. He knows that. He believes in that. But still... children? What could possibly justify that sacrifice?]

What was Commander Hange thinking enacting a plan like that?

[His voice isn't angry, not yet. It's filled with disbelief if anything. Armin honestly doesn't have a lot of personal experience with Hange yet, and while he knows that they are not a strategist in the same way Erwin was one (but then, who really was? Erwin was rather unique in his skills) he would've never expected a plan like this to come from them. But perhaps there had been no other way?

Hopefully, there had been no other way.]

[stopfen]

[She hesitates. She knows accidents are inevitable, and that they'd all done things that were wrong. But she wasn't sure what to think about that.]

It wasn't... At least not by the Commander.

[Eren she wasn't so sure about, not anymore.]

Some of the others went out of their way to set civilian houses on fire.

[schachmeister]

That's awful...

[And part of Armin could understand why some soldiers would've felt the need to do that. Many of them had lost family members when the Wall had fallen. It would be easy for the hate that had once been present for the titans to transfer over onto Marley and then onto its citizens. So yes, Armin could understand why someone would feel an impulse like that.

But none of that justified actually acting on said impulse. Marley as a whole might have attacked Paradise, but its citizens weren't responsible for it. Especially not the children. The only thing actions like that would lead to would be another cycle of hatred.]

[stopfen]

[There's a soft hum and nod. She hated it. Fighting people who had weapons, who were threats was passable. She didn't enjoy it, but they couldn't just let threats go. ]

Now our only option is to fight.

[If they'd had any option before, it was long gone now. ]
