Eren incredulously asks if Armin actually believes in Titans, noting that no one has seen one in over one hundred years. Armin reminds Eren that they will be killed on sight if they are caught scaling the Walls and that even if they do make it over, the outside world is infested with Titans. Mikasa tells Eren that she does not need to go leave the Walls yet, and Eren angrily asks her when she will want to. As the wind picks up, Eren gives his scarf to Mikasa. Reaching the base of the Wall, the three stare in awe at it, Mikasa notes that she has never been so close to the Wall before. While sneaking past them, Eren angrily notes that they are spending their time protecting the Wall, rather than its people. The three sneak past a Garrison outpost, moving toward the base of the Wall. Seeing Mikasa's fascination with the ocean, Eren asks her if she wants to go see it. Armin is awed to see a picture of the ocean, and explains what it is to an excited Mikasa and Eren. Armin brushes off the rest of the dirt, and is surprised to see a picture of a woman and the ocean on the side of it.

When Armin fails to answer, Eren asks him if he would rather leave the Walls, noting that he does not want to spend his entire life inside them.Īs Eren angrily kicks the missile, dirt caked on it begins falling off, drawing Mikasa's attention. When she is unable to answer, Eren asks them if they are content, noting that the interior Walls are populated with big buildings and rich people, and asking if they would want to go to the interior. Eren advises Armin not to get himself arrested, and then asks Mikasa the same thing. After some consideration, Armin pulls out the machine the little boy gave him, explaining to Eren how it works, and noting that he would like to make more like it. Armin asks Eren what he wants to do, and Eren counters with a question of his own, asking Armin if he is happy simply inheriting his parents' business. Armin asks Eren about his job, and Mikasa chastises him, wondering aloud why he cannot keep a job for more than a month.

When Armin asks him what he would do if the bomb blew up, Eren quietly muses that he would not mind if the bomb blew everyone up. When Armin cautions Eren against going near it, Eren begins stomping on the missile, assuring them that the missile is a dud, before slipping off it, and falling to the ground. Outside of town, Armin and Mikasa find Eren atop a missile embedded in the ground. On his way to see Eren, Armin stops at the house of his friend Mikasa, and invites her to see Eren. Armin dismantles it, and promises the boy that he will repair it and return it to him, to the boy's delight. As Armin leaves to go see Eren, he is stopped by a little boy, who is holding a device that is emitting a loud squealing noise.

In the year 858, in Monzen, Armin is helping out at his parents' shop, and overhears that his friend Eren has been fired from his newest job. But even though the Walls have stood for one hundred years, there are no guarantees they will not fall today. The survivors built three massive concentric Walls to prevent another Titan invasion, and managed a peaceful life inside. Over hundreds of years ago, Titans suddenly appeared and devoured most of civilization. In one hundred years, the Wall has not been broken.until this day. The survivors of the war built three Walls to prevent the invasion of the Titans, and kept the peace by securing the living area inside.

The majority of the human race was eaten and civilization collapsed. More than one hundred years ago, Titans suddenly appeared.
