When the people saw the truth about the world in the newspapers, disbelief filled their faces. At first, they all thought it was a joke or an oversight by the government.
But after the government came forward to confirm it, things turned out just as the officials who had opposed the decision had said.
The people descended into chaos. After all, no one could have imagined that the Titans they had once feared most had actually been transformed from their own compatriots. They had hated Titans so much that they wanted nothing more than to kill them.
And the Blade Beyond the Island wanted nothing more than to destroy their nation and exterminate their people. That was the truth.

But the instant Eren and Historia made contact, Eren's consciousness suddenly grew hazy.
