After they got far away, they were able to take a breather for a minute, path up Armin, but when Jean was calling his horse there was no response

Reiner- How's your ODM Gear looking, Armin

Armin- It's okay... The clasp released as intended, so it seems it's not broken

Reiner- I see, I'm glad to hear it. But what do we do? we only have one horse. If Jean's horse comes back, the three of us can move, but...

Jean- "Damn it, why? Reiner's horse returned, so why didn't mine? We can't stay here any longer. In the worst case, we'll have to leave someone here... But how would we decide who to leave? Armin, Since he's wounded? Reiner, Since he's big and would have trouble riding with someone else? Or should I run and try to find my horse?" Damn it! "Why the hell do I have to think about this?! We all made it through that fight alive. This isn't fair..."

Jean kept whistling but his horse still didn't come back, but Armin wasn't focused on anything in reality

Reiner- Armin. Hey, Armin! Are you still out of it?

Armin- Yeah, my head's still a bit fuzzy

Reiner- I see. But we must decide. It's a hard choice, but someone will have to stay behind

Armin- Wait! First, let's fire a smoke round... If the formation continued straight ahead, the row 4-3 team should be nearby

Jean fired off a purple Smoke signal which attracted someone's attention

Jean- That's the signal for an emergency... But I can't imagine they'll understand our intentions just from that

Reiner- Armin, we can wait another three minutes. BY then, we must decide-

Armin- I'll stay... but there's something I want you to tell them for me... Preferably to Commander Erwin alone-

Jean- No, Armin. You should tell him yourself. Looks like someone's here... And with 2 horses. That's... Krista!

Krista- Is everyone okay?

Jean- That's my horse...

Krista- He ran toward me, terrified... Did you engage the Titans? Armin, what happened to you? Are you okay?

Armin- Yeah, I think so

Reiner- I can't believe that smoke round brought you here

Krista- I was nearby, and I already had Jean's horse

Reiner- Even horses like you. It seems you have a strange charisma. You saved our lives

Krista- But I'm so glad that the worst didn't happen to you. I'm really glad

Armin- "A god..."

Jean- "A goddess"

Reiner- "I want to marry her"

Krista- Well, we should rejoin the formation as soon as possible

Jean- Yeah, there should be orders to retreat

They took off and started to head back to the formation

Reiner- Hey uhh, Krista. Everyone's been wondering, what's with you and Jericho

Krista- Oh that... Well, we started dating last month

Jean & Reiner- "Damn you, Jericho"

Jean- To think we've been pushed back, less than an hour out of the walls

Reiner- Things are even bleaker than I'd imagined...

Jean- And for some reason, it went in the opposite direction from the vanguard command team...
