Summary
Falco and Gabi are taken by Kaya to a farm and are told to wait by the horse paddock. Gabi plans on using the horses to escape, but Falco believes they will be caught and advises they stay for a few days; Gabi refuses to eat at the same table as devils. Just then, they are invited in and Falco advises Gabi to let him handle the talking. Mr. Blouse asks what they ran away for and Gabi notes to herself that he has a southern Marley dialect; Falco introduces himself as 'Ben' and that him and Gabi (going by the name 'Mia') are siblings who ran away from home. Mr. Blouse offers them to stay as long as needed and offers them some breakfast. Lisa hands Gabi some food and when she pats her head, Gabi sharply smacks her hand away; Falco apologizes and coaxes Gabi to eat.

Kiyomi Azumabito passes on to Darius Zackly that the other nations took note of Eldia's attack on Liberio; Darius insists that she should be commended as well for being the only ambassador (and nation) that visited them due to the overall view of Eldia as being evil. He invites her to return any time to 'the most dangerous island in the world'. Darius then notices a covered aircraft and Kiyomi says it is the first airship that will use iceburst stone as a source of fuel.

Hange is surrounded by reporters and is flooded questions about Eren being held captive in a cell and also on how residents are being told to leave Shiganshina District. Hange mentions that they need to talk with the soldier themselves and, reaching the gate, is confronted by Flegel Reeves. He asks if he can still trust Hange; mentioning that it is for the sake of Eldia, Hange goes into the building. She confronts the four soldiers who leaked the news about Eren to the press: Holger, Wim, Louise and Floch Forster. Hange asks Floch why they did this, and Floch replies to free Eren. Seeing that he did nothing wrong, he goes on to say that he deserves to be free for attacking their enemy and coming out victorious; Hange counters that it still made the entire island a target for bigger and more powerful countries that oppose them. He asks Hange that Eren be freed; while Hange considers it, she still has them punished and sent to their cells. Remembering her last conversation with Djel Sannes, Hange realizes there is still something that needs to be looked into. In her cell, Louise talks with Mikasa and mentions that the latter's actions during the Battle of Trost inspired Louise to join the Corps. When she asks Mikasa what her reason to join the Survey Corps was, Mikasa tells her to be quiet and moves to leave. Louise salutes Mikasa, and the latter recalls the moment when Eren saved her from the three kidnappers many years ago.

Dot Pixis visits Yelena and asks about her accommodations. He tells Yelena that they are in debt to her and the other Volunteers, but mentions how Yelena seemed to be going out of her way to convince them that she is not a threat; such as insisting on routine inspections and strict control. Dot also brings up that ten months ago, Yelena was in attendance of a ceremony in Trost District that was in proximity to where Eren was staying. He says the guard assigned to her at the time was Floch, one of the leakers arrested and believes that she made contact with Eren. He sits down and mentions that it a good reason to converse with 'a beautiful lady like you', surprising Yelena.

While working in the stables, a horse starts nibbling on Gabi's head. Shrieking, she falls over and claims that it was an act of the devils; Falco says it was merely the horse. He again insists they stay there for now, confident that either his brother or Zeke will be coming for them. Gabi asks if he hates Zeke due to betraying Marley when Kaya comes and says it's time for a break. As they talk at a fence, Falco learns the farm the are at is for orphans who have lost their parents. Gabi berates Kaya for her ancestors's actions and as she argues with Falco, Kaya mentions that she knows they are from Marley. Hearing this, Gabi picks up a pitchfork and tries to attack her. As a few others approach, Kaya claims that 'Mia' was jealous of her becoming friends with 'Ben'. Seeing their confused faces, Kaya says she will not be reporting them and leads the two to her old village. Explaining that it was overrun by Titans, she knows that it was the actions of outsiders that caused it. Gabi proclaims that Eldia was responsible for numerous atrocities and they should not feel like the victims. A tearful Kaya asks that none of her family had done anything and what did they do to deserve getting eaten alive. Falco reveals that it was an experiment to judge the strength of Eldia and apologizes; Gabi berates Falco for revealing secrets, but Falco ignores it. Kaya thanks Falco for his honesty and goes on to mention how Sasha saved her from Titans by using an axe and herself to allow Kaya to get away safely.
