8 pm.

10 hours since they finished the video, the large group stayed in Venom's dorm to feel her warmth, even if it was only the warmth they experienced a month ago. Armin's mind was boggled up with questions that only Arthur can answer.

"Damon. It sounds pretty powerful, right?" Sasha tried to confirm as Jean, Connie, Armin, and Petra nodded. "Am I the only one who really wants to know what happened?" Eren muttered, lowing the volume of his voice in fear that Arthur will glare at him.

"Nope."

"I want to know too,"

"Me too,"

"Me three,"

"Me four,"

"To be honest, I'm kinda curious too."

Then, they all stayed quiet. Not having the courage to ask Arthur who was drinking tequila in the kitchen while they were all in the living room. Armin took a deep breath before leaving them and walked to the kitchen. The blond boy tapped Arthur's shoulder before asking, "Ummmm, excuse m-me General Arthur. I know I-i'm not in the position to ask but, may I ask about what happened to Captain Y/N's brother and mother?" Arthur looked at him with sorrowful ask and smiled a bit. "Sure why not, son." Arthur answered, his statement specifically the word "son." made him feel comfortable.

"It was around 14 years ago." the older male started. The other members of the Scouts left the room and went into the kitchen to listen quietly. "Y/N was still 13, a small and lively girl. I have a son and wife that died 14 years ago due to a house fire." he added, catching all of their attention, even Levi's.

"Her brother was 18 at that time, he was an athlete. A proud soccer player. My wife Diana, was 40 at that time. They were sleeping peacefully in our house when a fire unexpectedly lighted our home. I was away with Y/N and Valentina for their competitions since Valentina's parents had just come back from days of work in the hospital, and they couldn't bring Valentina to her competition due to tiredness and fatigue. So, they trusted me to bring her to her gymnastics competition." Arthur explained before pouring the alcoholic beverage into his glass.

"What competition did Y/N competed in General?" Mikasa asked, curious about the event. "Taekwondo. It's a sport." Arthur answered making Mikasa just nod even. "They both won first place. Both of them were excited to show their certificates and trophies to them. But, we arrived at an unexpected happening. Valentina's parents felt pity for us but, thanked me for bringing their child back safely to them. While I and Y/N were saddened by the news that the firefighters told us." They lowered their heads, Armin felt a bit guilty for asking such a question.

"Y/N after that became quiet and stopped taekwondo, she only spoke when someone asked her a question and locked herself inside of her room in my mother's house while I was away because of my duties as a soldier. 5 years after we lost everything, we got back on track. I was able to buy a decent house and treated her with everything she wanted. But, all she wanted was the necessities and said that the gifts I gave her were just a waste of money but still thanked me and accepted it." he added.

"I'm sorry for asking that question General, you must've felt uncomfortable." Armin said before bowing at 90 degrees. Arthur shook his hand, "It's fine son. If I didn't want to tell you then I stayed quiet."

Shit.

I don't know what to do next.

Should I leave?
