A few days later, you learned that the Levi Squad and Hange talked to Commandant Shadis and learned that he was merely a bystander of Grisha's life in the Walls.

You were holed up in your room looking at the ceiling, with you arms behind your head.

(Y/n): Seems like Eren's father was from outside the Walls from what they said. From what I remembered Ymir told me the place they came from was called Marley. Maybe Grisha was from there too.

You stood up, still making speculations in your thoughts.

(Y/n): Reiner, Annie and Bertholdt came here with another person when they destroyed the Walls. But that doesn't make sense. Ymir ate him and obtained his power... By then Grisha obtained the Founder... Was he sent here as a Warrior or did he have his own motives?

You sighed and realized that you had more questions than answers. You saw that the sun was drawing near to a sunset. You got up from bed and put on your uniform.

(Y/n): Enough of the thinking, I should enjoy the evening with everyone else.

-Intermission-

You were sitting next to Hange at a table inside a tavern. The tavern was closed and reserved for the Scouts to celebrate the night before retaking Wall Maria.

Harold: This may be a special night, but we don't need the public to know what's happening in here. So behave like the disciplined soldiers you are!

You looked at big platter of meat before you and you were drooling.

Hange: Oh my? You still drool like a kid, (Y/n). You told me you were a young adult now, hmm?

You quickly wiped the drool of you mouth and some of the Squad Leaders and Moblit were laughing.

(Y/n): You can't blame me! I haven't had meat in forever and it smells delicious.

Harold, who had made the announcement picked up his mug and raised in the air.

Harold: Alright! Here's to the retaking of Wall Maria! A toast!

But instead of a toast, it quickly became a castastrophe.

Everyone rushed to get a plate of meat while you watched in amusement. It was utter chaos. People were arguing over proportions. You were happily chewing on your portion of the meat until something really caught your attention.

???: Ahhhhh! You're eating me! My hand! My hand!

You watched as Sasha was put in a chokehold by Connie, and judging from the strength, it should've put her out of commission but she was biting Jean instead.

(Y/n): Hey Hange, Moblit. Look at that.

The three of you watched the peculiar situation of Sasha and laughed wholeheartedly.

Your laughter increased by tenfold when you saw that she punched Mikasa in the boob.

Hange: Whose brilliant idea was it to serve meat again?

She asked the question in between laughs while gazing at you. You immediately gave a name since you didn't want her to suspect it was you.

(Y/n): She can't figure out that I convinced Harold to get the meat. I think it was Klaus.

Klaus stared at you dumbfounded at what you said.

Harold: Well at least now we know what happens when we blow the whole food budget for two months on one night of celebrating.

The pandemonium finally ceased as Sasha wore herself out with Eren and Connie tying her to a pole.

You were happily chatting with the veterans at the table. Many of them talking about the good ole days... and Hange exposing you when you were raised in the Corps.
