So Mun just breezed through the manga....(Christa from Attack on Titan)

[reiss]

 There's got to be an explaination, mun. She wouldn't try to hurt me, not ever.

....I just want to know why she didn't fight them. If she could turn into a Titan already....she could have fought them! But...she didn't. 

She always has a reason. I know she has one now.

[forchrista]

If anybody tried to hurt you, I'd kill them.

[ Yeah, she knows what Christa's talking about. But she's serious. She'd kill before she let Christa get hurt. ]

[reiss]

I know, Ymir. But....you know everyone thinks you're on the other side, right?

[forchrista]

[ There's a looong drawn-out silence as Ymir can't bring herself to look Christa in the eyes.

She scratches her chin.

Yup. Still not looking Christa in the eyes. ]

[reiss]

....

[She looks at her, desperate.]

You aren't, are you?

[forchrista]

[ All right, she'll spare Christa a glance now. Just to show she's serious about it. ]

We're using each other. I have my own goals, and I'll keep using them for as long as it suits my needs.



...The only side I'm on is yours.

[reiss]

Ymir, my side is the one you just dragged me away from!

Please....I just want you to be safe....I want us to be safe. All of us!

[forchrista]

Don't you get it? The only person I care about keeping safe is you!

[reiss]

You're the one who doesn't get it! If you care about me, you should care about them, too, you dumb idiot!

[erenskeeper]

[...]

We'll see. [or not. Speculation is pointless at the moment.]

[reiss]

She is! She'd never hurt anyone that I like.

[erenskeeper]

That's not reassuring, Christa. [that's still a secondary, lesser objective, surely]

[reiss]

Then what do you want me to prove? Just...don't hurt her!

[forchrista]

[ I wish I had a shouting icon. ]

No way! You care about people too damn much! Care about other people!? You're the kind of person who'd lay down their life for some kind of fucked up martyr complex!

I'm not going to let that happen! I'll keep you safe! No matter what it takes!

[reiss]

I'm not going to let humanity die! And I will put my life on the line if that's what it takes! I'm a solider! I signed up for that!

[erenskeeper]

[blink.

Ymir by herself? Probably nothing. Bert and Ernie? That's another story altogether. Ymir seemingly siding with Bert and Ernie? Yeeeeah, that's gonna be complicated.]

Nothing. There's nothing you can prove.

[it really hinges on what Ymir does to Eren]

[reiss]

.....Ymir just wants me alive. That's all.

[erenskeeper]

I can respect that. [totes] Her methods are questionable, however. [the crux of the problem Mikasa, that's potentially hypocritical]

[reiss]

But, Mikasa....you would do the same for Eren, wouldn't you?

[erenskeeper]

[silence for a few moments]

Would you side with Reiner and Bertholdt? [Bertolt? Bert???]

[reiss]

No.

[erenskeeper]

As for those who side with them...

[a slight eyebrow raise. What say you to that?]

[reiss]

We don't know that Ymir is.

[erenskeeper]

[wishful thinking, but in her shoes, she'd probably do the same]

The situation is still unclear. [she'll give you that much, at least]

[reiss]

I promise you, I'll speak to her.

[titan_hunter]

Sorry Christa. I couldn't land a good enough hit on those bastards before Ymir made her choice.

[Honestly who knew you couldn't properly punch with a stump of a hand?]
