[MIKASA]
Once we've retaken Wall Maria
and defeated every
last one of our enemies...
Will our lives
go back to normal?
Some things will be the same,
but some things
have changed forever.
And we'll make them
pay for that.
[MIKASA] Once that's been done,
what will Eren do?
Will he leave again?
If he does,
just how far will he go?
There's no telling.
And there's
no stopping him either.
[gasps]
[MIKASA]
The moment I had that thought,
a certain scene
flashed before my eyes.
One I had seen many times.
[MIKASA'S MOM] We've kept
this style of embroidery
a special family secret
for heaven knows
how many generations.
One day, when you have
children of your own,
you'll be able to pass
the secret on to them.
I don't understand,
how can I have children?
[MIKASA'S MOM] Uh. Honey,
why don't you explain?
[MIKASA]
Yeah! Please, Daddy?
Well I'm not sure I'm really
an expert on the subject.
But Dr. Jaeger's gonna
pay us a visit today,
maybe you could
ask him about it.
[knocking]
[MIKASA'S DAD]
Ah! Speak of the devil!
[MIKASA'S MOM]
Mikasa.
Why don't you add
a little color to the edges?
[MIKASA'S DAD] We were just
talking about you, Doctor--
Sorry. Hope we're
not interrupting.
[ARMIN]
I'm so sorry, Mikasa!
It should have been me
that d*ed, not Eren! I...
I couldn't do a thing!
I'm worthless.
[MIKASA]
If you don't like this reality,
then change it. Start over.
[MIKASA] You can go back
as far as you'd like.
[MIKASA]
You can go live in a world where
your every wish will be granted.
However, you will never be able
to save Eren from death.
Because he and death...
[MIKASA'S MOM] One day, when you
have children of your own,
you'll be able to pass
the secret on to them.
[MIKASA'S DAD]
Ah! Speak of the devil!
Thanks for trudging
through all the rain.
Come on in. We'll get you dry.
[MIKASA'S MOM]
Dr. Jaeger.
Hello, it's good to see you all.
That goes for you, too, Mikasa.
I trust you're well.
Yeah, I'm good.
[GRISHA]
All right, Eren. Don't be shy.
Come and say hi.
Uh. Hello there.
It's nice to meet you.
[GRISHA]
Eren here is my only child.
He's nine, just like you.
And he only has
one friend at the moment,
so can I ask you
to be nice to him?
Okay.
[EREN]
So what's the deal?
Your mom's gonna
have another kid soon?
Yeah, and she says she
thinks this one'll be a boy.
Because it feels
really different from
how it did when
I was in her tummy.
[EREN]
Oh yeah? Well if it is a boy,
I hope he grows up
to be a good soldier.
Wait, a soldier?
Is that what you wanna become?
Yeah! I'm gonna join the Scouts
and see the outside world!
What do you mean by
the "outside world"?
[EREN]
I mean the world past the walls!
I'm gonna train day and night,
'til I'm strong enough to
k*ll every Titan out there.
What about you?
Eh--what about me?
Your dad hunts and
your mom farms, right?
Do you think you'll
take after one of them?
What do you plan
to do with your life?
Uh. Let me think.
If I'm being honest,
I don't know.
--[roar]
--[BOTH gasp]
Hey. Let's go home now,
okay, Eren?
Dad said not to go too deep
into the woods on our own, so--
Wait! Don't!
[EREN sighs]
[MIKASA gasps]
[MIKASA] Once we made it
back to our parents,
we told them about the bodies,
but kept the dogs a secret.
[GRISHA] I'll go inform
the m*llitary Police.
[MIKASA'S DAD]
Thanks. We appreciate it.
I'll see you, Mikasa.
[MIKASA] After that,
Dr. Jaeger came to give Mom
check-ups every five days,
and he always
brought Eren with him.
[gasps]
[MIKASA] We never went
back to the forest,
but we did lots of other things.
Sometimes, Eren would tell me
about his life in Shiganshina,
or about other things he had
learned from his friend Armin.
[EREN]
Armin's pretty much a genius.
He reads lots of books,
so he knows all sorts
of interesting things.
Oh. Well then,
do you think he could
tell us how babies are made?
Huh? C'mon,
even I know that much.
For real?
[EREN] Yeah. A big bird carries
the baby in overnight.
Sticks the baby in
the mom's belly and leaves.
[MIKASA] Wait. How does
a bird carry a baby?
On its back or something.
[MIKASA]
But the baby would fall.
Oh yeah.
Well anyway, about Armin.
He knows stuff
I've never even thought about.
In fact, he's the
only reason I know
about the world
outside the walls.
Someday, the two of us are gonna
go out and see it for ourselves.
[EREN]
That's my dream.
[MIKASA]
What happened to you?
[EREN] In the outside world,
there's a huge,
deep lake that's
full of salt water.
Considering how pricey salt is,
you'd think that merchants
would've scooped it all out.
[EREN]
But they never could.
'Cause people aren't even
bugs compared to the sea.
That's its name, 'kay?
It's the sea.
[EREN]
Enormous rocks. Fields of ice.
Water that glows like fire.
The world beyond
the walls has it all.
It's so impossibly big,
and we've lost it.
[EREN]
Why don't these people care?
[MIKASA]
What people?
[EREN] The cowards
that live all around us.
As long as they're
safe in the walls,
they're happy to
keep their heads down.
What's worse, they think
that they have the right
to make everyone else
do the same.
Armin said that someday we
should try to reclaim the world.
And they called him a heretic.
That's what living
in a pen does to you.
It makes you as stupid
and prideless as an animal.
They can stay crammed
in these walls if they want,
but they can't keep me here!
Eren.
[EREN] I'm gonna join
the Scout Regiment.
I'll explore the world
they gave up on.
[MIKASA] Once Eren goes
back to Shiganshina,
he might get in more fights,
and get hurt even worse
than he was this time.
And well. If I can't
stop that from happening,
then when it does, I'd at least
like to be there at his side.
[MIKASA]
Take Dr. Jaeger his hat back?
He can bring you home
in a few days
when he comes
to see your mother.
Don't worry about us,
just have fun with Eren.
Eren!
[bell chimes]
Quick! Hurry! Follow me, okay?
The Scout Regiment's
back from their mission!
[EREN]
Argh. Can't see squat.
[BOTH gasp]
[MOSES' MOM]
Moses! Moses?
Beg your pardon.
Where is my son,
he should be with you all.
Oh, please tell me he made it!
[KEITH] I wish I had
better news. Give it to her.
[MOSES' MOM crying]
I'm sorry. It's all
that was left of him.
[MOSES' MOM crying]
So this is what the Scouts are.
And you're sure that
you want to join them?
[EREN]
Yeah.
I don't want you to.
Not at all.
[COMMONER B] Look at that,
another win for the Titans.
[COMMONER A]
Uplifting, huh.
[COMMONER B]
Oh, sure. Nothing like seeing
our hard-earned taxes
go toward keeping the bastards
fat and happy on human gristle.
[COMMONER B]
You little punk!
[EREN gasps]
Lemme go! Get your hands off me!
Hey, wait.
[groans]
How dare you talk like that
about the Scouts!
[COMMONER A]
Relax, man. He's just a kid.
Shut up! If ya don't teach these
brats when they're young,
they stay like this
their whole damn lives!
Take that! And that!
You little sh*t!
[sighs]
[EREN]
How long was I out for?
Not as long as
I thought you'd be.
[MIKASA]
I wanna see Eren.
Please lemme see him again.
[GRISHA]
Looks like pregnancy toxemia.
I think you should move
to Shiganshina, just in case.
Then, in the event that
her symptoms worsen,
I'll be able to come right away.
[MIKASA'S DAD]
If that's what's best.
[gasps] Hey, Mikasa.
What's the matter?
I'm sorry, Mom.
I didn't know. I'm so sorry.
[MIKASA] Hey, why'd you
stop coming to visit?
The Scout Regiment
doesn't exist anymore.
[MIKASA gasps]
[EREN] It didn't
come up with any results,
so it got disbanded.
They even sealed the gates.
So now, nobody can go outside.
The cowards are trying
to trap all of humanity
within these walls for good.
So there's no way
to go outside now?
There's still a way.
Armin and I are gonna fly out
of here in a hot-air balloon.
[MIKASA gasps]
It's like a big gas bag that
lifts a basket through the sky.
We've been busy building it.
That's why I haven't come
to your house in a while.
Sorry, Mikasa. [gasps]
When'll you leave?
[EREN]
In three days.
Then I'll fly away with you.
Huh?
I don't wanna get
left behind, so take me.
Just let me
come with you, please!
[sighs]
[MIKASA gasps]
There's a forest past
that inner gate.
If you really wanna come, then
meet us there in three days.
You can keep that 'til then.
'Kay.
[VILLAGER A]
I feel a lot safer now that
the gates have been sealed.
[VILLAGER B]
Tell me about it.
[VILLAGER C] We should've
bricked the things up years ago!
[MIKASA panting]
[EREN]
Don't be late, okay?
We'll leave at
the third chime of the bell.
[bell chimes]
[gasps]
[MIKASA]
Two more!
[gasps]
[MIRROR MAN] Ladies and
gentlemen! Gather round! Please!
I am known as the Mirror Man.
Watch and be amazed
as I demonstrate
my preternatural powers on
this sweet, innocent young girl!
In a few brief moments,
I intend to hypnotize her
and transform her into
a cold-blooded k*ller!
[MIRROR MAN]
Now. Little girl.
Look at your reflection.
In my face.
Please. Let me go.
I'm short on time.
[MIRROR MAN] What do you
mean by "short on time"?
If I did release you,
where would you go?
I have a friend
who I'm supposed to meet.
[MIRROR MAN] I see. You had
better be quick, then.
You don't want to keep
your friends waiting, do you?
Uh. Thanks.
[MIRROR MAN]
Hold on.
I can't release you just
because you're in a rush.
After all, I just promised
this crowd of people
that I'd use hypnotism
to turn you into a k*ller.
[MIRROR MAN] That said, I think
we can work out an arrangement.
Why don't you just
k*ll me now and then go?
[gasps]
[MIRROR MAN]
I could use hypnotism
to force you to k*ll me.
It wouldn't be difficult.
But it would be
somewhat time-consuming.
That's a problem for you, right?
Hey! Somebody help me!
[bell chimes]
[gasps]
[MIRROR MAN] Hurry as you might,
you'll never make it in time.
He'll leave you behind
no matter what you do.
[gasps] Do you know
about Eren somehow?
Wait a second, who are you?
[MIRROR MAN] I am no one,
but at the same time,
I could be anyone.
I am the greatest of hypnotists,
and hypnotists know all things.
[MIRROR MAN]
You've lost your way, child.
And what's more, you became
lost of your own volition.
[MIRROR MAN] You made this world
to get lost in.
To escape from
the fact of Eren's death.
[MIRROR MAN] However.
No matter how many worlds
you make for him...
[MIRROR MAN, MIKASA]
You will never be able to
save Eren from death.
Because he and death
are inextricably bound.
Death runs through his veins.
[MIKASA]
Try to protect him.
But death will take him,
in the end.
[gasps]
[MIKASA] If you think I'm lying,
then go. See for yourself.
But first,
you'll have to k*ll me.
Prove that you have the strength
to return to the world
you came from.
[bell chimes]
[MIKASA] Why? Why'd you
have to get in my way?
The only thing I want
is to be with Eren.
Is that really
too much to ask for?
[MIKASA] No, it isn't,
but even this world is cruel.
[MIKASA gasps] Then what
the hell is it good for?
[gasps]
[VILLAGER A screams]
[VILLAGERS gasp]
[MIRROR MAN] Had you not
seen it with your own eyes,
you would scarcely believe it!
I am the enigmatic Mirror Man.
And I just turned this innocent
girl into a cold-blooded k*ller!
Observe this trick blade!
It was specially made
to be quite harmless!
And take note, this bag
is full of chicken blood!
That said.
This girl did choose to s*ab me,
aiming straight for my heart.
That's a truth which can't
be bent, even by a Titan!
Are you not impressed,
good people?
You have just borne witness
to the infamous powers
of the Mirror Man himself!
[VILLAGERS applaud]
[MIRROR MAN]
Thank you! Thank you!
You're far too kind!
[ARMIN]
You must be Mikasa, right?
Where is Eren? Is he nearby?
[ARMIN] I'm sorry, Mikasa.
It's all my fault.
The balloon's controls
wouldn't work.
We were flying
straight at the wall.
And he threw me overboard,
but he didn't
make it out, himself.
He was still inside when it hit.
It should have been me
that d*ed, not Eren! I...
I couldn't do a thing!
I'm worthless.
[gasps]
[MIKASA] All I was
left with was the feeling
of having just surfaced from
the depths of a long dream.
A dream both joyful
and unbearably sad.
But from the moment
I opened my eyes,
I had accepted Eren's fate
for what it was.
[yells]
[MIKASA]
He'll do it all.
He'll reclaim Wall Maria.
He'll slaughter
every Titan out there.
He'll take us
all the way to the sea.
[MIKASA]
But even after that,
he might just
keep moving forward.
[MIKASA] And there's no way
that I, or anyone else,
can hold him back if he does.
[MIKASA]
But that's okay.
He can go wherever he wants
as long as I can come with him.
My only wish
is to stay at his side.
Hey, Eren.
