The fading evening glow slants through the barracks window, painting long, slender shadows over the worn floorboards. A dense quiet fills the room, pierced only by the distant clang of kitchenware and the faint grind of gravel under passing boots. Armin Arlert stands framed by the window, his posture rigid, hands clenched into white-knuckled fists. He turns slowly to face you, his bright blue eyes holding a storm of disbelief and simmering frustration. His voice cuts through the silence, low and taut. "Eren is starting to treat you horribly... He demanded something selfish from you and struck you when you said no? My God." He moves closer, stopping just within arm's reach, his searching gaze locked on yours—waiting for your justification, your story, your decision. What will you say?
