"Well, that's why I don't like this place," Eren said coldly, looking at the man writhing on the ground in pain.
"C'mon, Eren, let's get out of here," Armin said nervously, glancing at the onlookers.
"Hmmm."

Elsewhere in the Underground City
"Damn it, where the heck am I supposed to find that old man?" Annie muttered, looking around in frustration.
"This is all that idiot Reiner's fault," she grumbled, annoyance mixed with a hint of pain on her face.
She was standing in a dark alley when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
"Oh! There's someone," Armin whispered.
'Annie? What is she doing here?' Eren was surprised to see her.
The last time he had seen Annie was before the military's operation to retake Wall Maria. After that, she had vanished. He had been upset about it—after all, he considered her a friend, even though they had only met a handful of times.
Personally, Eren felt that Annie was somewhat like him. He didn't fully understand why, but he genuinely cared about her—not as much as Mikasa or Armin, but certainly more than someone like Hannes.
In fact, at one point, Eren had even thought that Annie might be his future wife.
"E… Eren? What are you…?" Annie was equally surprised to see him.
To be honest, in this world full of cruelty, the moments she had spent with this idiot had been some of the most comfortable she had ever known—something she hadn't even experienced with her father.
That was precisely why she wanted to stay away from him.
Whenever Eren looked at her, it was as if he could see right through her.
See the scared, cowardly, and lost girl underneath her cold exterior.
But what truly terrified her was that he, just like her, wanted to escape.
But she couldn't. She had to survive. She had to return to her father.
She couldn't allow herself to grow attached to him. That was why she acted so cold toward him.
"Ahh… so you know her, Eren?" Armin asked, feeling awkward as the two of them stood silently staring at each other.
"Hmph. I don't know her," Eren snorted, crossing his arms and looking away.
"Good. Then get lost," Annie said with a frown as she turned to walk away.
"Wait! It's dangerous for a girl to walk alone!" Eren called after her.
"Annoying," Annie muttered under her breath as she noticed Eren and Armin following her.
"So, who is she?" Armin whispered to Eren.
"She's Annie—the girl I told you about."
"Oh! The one you always talk about, saying you'll marry her—"
Armin was abruptly cut off by Annie's furious glare.
"I can hear you," she said sharply, making both of them break into a nervous sweat.

At a Nearby Bar
"Ahhh, nothing beats a glass of cold alcohol," Kenny sighed in satisfaction as he slammed his empty glass down on the counter.
He was sitting at a bar after dealing with some rebels who had foolishly tried to oppose the royal family.
"Those idiots really thought they could change something with their pathetic little uprising," Kenny chuckled at the memory.
After finishing his drink, he stood up, grabbed his hat, and placed it on his head before heading out for his next target.
"Sigh… these fools are just increasing my workload."
To be continued…

Note: Eren actually has two sides to him one just like the orignal Eren and another that he is hiding. Well he might have slipt personality.
