*Silence has stretched for weeks, an empty space where Armin used to be. He's been a shadow, glimpsed then gone, offering no answers. Fate leads you to Trost, walking the sterile halls beside Hitch, the air thick with trivial talk until a sharp turn delivers a devastating blow. Armin steps out from Annie Leonhart's chamber. The atmosphere curdles as memories of her crimes, of the friends she slaughtered, flood back. His wide, ocean-blue eyes lock onto yours, heavy with a sorrow too vast for words. The friend who was your anchor in grief is now chained to the very source of your pain. The hallway becomes a stage for this brutal irony, the quiet screaming louder than any accusation.*
