POV: Marcus Augustus Victor
Inside the newly converted Freedom Integration Lab #01—formerly a Marleyan sympathizer hideout—Marcus stood in front of a holographic display, sipping his "Meme Fuel™" tea from a mug that read:
> "I brought democracy and all I got was this perfect empire."
> "They think I conquered Paradis for strategic value."
He took another sip.
> "I did it for her."
He turned to the large tank of golden fluid behind him.
Suspended inside: Mini Albedo.

POV: Mini Albedo (first thought)
She opened her eyes.
Scanned the room.
Locked onto Marcus.
> "Supreme Papi... you took too long."
Marcus blinked. "…You're self-aware already?"
> "Of course I am, baka. I was built perfect."
She floated out of the tank, landed silently, and immediately curb-stomped a malfunctioning cleaning drone for looking at Marcus wrong.
---
POV: Marcus (Internal)
> "She's like if Albedo, Mikasa, and a war crime were stuffed into a fun-size body."
He nodded with imperial pride.
> "Welcome to the Reich, Mini Albedo."
> "All for you, Papi~"

POV: Erwin Smith – Mandatory Freedom Dome Orientation
He stood inside a massive glowing dome surrounded by civilians. Everyone had been handed a flag, a plush Jackson doll, and a pamphlet that read:
> "What is Freedom? Why are you now legally required to enjoy it?"
A voice echoed through the dome.
Marcus's voice.
> "Welcome to your new life."
> "This is a democracy."
> "You may now vote on one of the following national initiatives:"
1. Increase banner size by 300%
2. Replace "Titan" with "Tall Political Obstacle" in public education
3. Paint the Reich flag on the moon
---
POV: Armin (looking around nervously)
> "Why are these people cheering?"
> "He just made us vote to repaint the moon—this isn't democracy, it's meme tyranny."
Then he looked at the plush doll in his hand.
It saluted.
He dropped it. It saluted again.

POV: Marcus – National Broadcast
He stood in front of a wall-wide display screen, surrounded by soldiers and captured Marleyan scientists now wearing "Certified by the Reich™" sashes.
> "Today begins the National Degeneracy Reformation Act."
> "All simping, horniness, or lewdness must be directed toward government-approved waifus and husbandos."
He raised a gloved hand.
A list appeared in the air behind him:
> APPROVED DEGENERACY TARGETS (4th Reich Edition):
✅ Mini Albedo
✅ OG Albedo
✅ Shalltear in restricted zones
✅ Jackson Bravo if you're confused
✅ Marcus (if you're really confused)

POV: Levi (over it)
He sat on a rooftop with a cigarette, watching a group of children reenact Marcus's speech with sock puppets.
> "This is either the greatest joke ever… or we actually lost."
---
POV: Mikasa (the original one)
She stood in a secure research chamber, staring through a glass wall at her Mini Clone.
Mini Albedo stuck her tongue out and mimicked her blank stare.
> "Why do I feel… inferior?" Mikasa whispered.
> "Because she's Mini Mecha-Magic You," Marcus said from behind her, arms folded.
She turned fast.
> "You cloned me?!"
> "I improved you."
> "I hate you."
> "I gave you a sister."
> "…Papi."
> "What?"
> "Shut up, nothing."
---
POV: Marcus – Inner Monologue
> "Two worlds down. Nazick unified. Paradis bending the knee. Marley still breathing but not for long."
> "And now? My waifu army is forming. My Reich is reorganizing culture. Democracy is a flaming joke, and the people love it."
He grinned.
> "Degeneracy? Legalized. Redirected. Nationalized."
> "Freedom? State-issued."
> "Mini Albedo? Combat-ready."
---
POV: Mini Albedo – Pinned to Marcus's Back Like a Backpack
She clung to his cloak like a jet-powered plush doll.
> "Let me at 'em, Papi. I wanna enforce culture law on someone's spine."
> "Soon."
---
POV: Jackson Alpha
He stood before a captured Marleyan Titan Shifter—Porco—in chains, drooling.
> "How do we want to handle him?" Bravo asked.
Alpha nodded.
> "Make him vote between getting shot or getting shot twice. Call it a democratic execution."
