Chapter 5: A Dull Glow in the Midst of Despair

Connie snaps Armin out of his daze, and Armin, tormented by the deaths of his squad and Eren, blames himself. Meanwhile, Trost's evacuation stalls because a merchant forces his men to push a cart through the inner gate. Mikasa outpaces the elite squad, kills an Abnormal Titan and forces the merchant to clear the cart. When a mother and her daughter thank her, Mikasa recalls a dark moment from her childhood.
