It's just really important to note that much of the perception of present reality and history of the world within the walls is a lie. Also, no one alive knows what the world before the walls was really like except for the coordinate holder... Everything else is 2nd hand and 3rd hand information.

And I do have to reiterate. The fact that it's a crime, one that is punished with an extrajudicial execution in the case of the first interior's killing of the hot air balloon couple, to go outside of the walls really does seem to convey an ulterior motive for the existence of the walls.

But, we'll see. I think the Hot Air Ballon couple was Armin's Mom and Dad because remember that Armin's was gonna outside the walls to see the world like in the book Armin had shown Eren to. Armin's Parents were killed by the government!
