9. Opening

Complete story — includes the ending

Left behind due to injury, Hange requests to go to Ragako to see the immobilized Titan, as she has a hunch she wants to confirm. Moblit goes instead since she isn't in a state fit to travel. In the Forest of Giant Trees, as Eren and Ymir continue to regenerate their limbs, they learn that Reiner and Bertholdt plan to take them to their hometown, waiting until nightfall when the surrounding Titans cannot move. Reiner begins to ramble about his duty as a soldier and a warrior; Ymir deduces that he is confused between his undercover and real personas, since he's spent so long acting like a Scout. Ymir is concerned about the Beast Titan, who may be their true enemy. Reiner uses Ymir's concern for Historia as leverage to drive a wedge between her and Eren. The group then sees and hears the flare guns, signalling the arrival of the Scouts.
