Summary
The cover pages shows Ymir as a 7m titan falling towards the crowd of titans. The text reads "The Dancing Titan" as she is about to attack another 7m titan. The titan is about to grab Ymir but Ymir swiftely dodges and digs her claws into the titans back. Ymir is about to finish the titan off but anoher 7m titan intervenes, Ymir has no choice but to switch her attention to the other titan and she swipes its eyes, blinding it. She is about to finish it off but another titan interferes yet again. The 3rd titan runs at incredible speed towards Ymir attempting to crush her against the wall. Ymir uses her scout skills and swiftly spins and dodges the titan. The 3rd titan runs face first into the tower.

The tower then shakes because of this, Christa is about to fall off but Reiner manages to catch her foot before she falls. Christa then thanks Reiner. However, she lets out a cry of pain because Reiner starts to squeez her leg, Conny attemps to get Reiner off of her and tells Reiner to let go. Still in shock, Reiner lets go of her and snaps out of it. He apologises to Christa and she replies with "No need, you saved my life". Reiner looks in to Christa's eyes and askes if she knew that Ymir was a titan. Christa lies and says "No, I didn't, we have been friends all this time and I didn't know, I had no idea". Christa then continues her lie by saying "I simply can't believe this, we have been friends for the whole 3 years and yet.... What even is this? Is this..... is this really Ymir?" She has a flashback of Ymir force feeding her a drink and she continues to act like she is in shock. She then says she refuses to believe it whilst Ymir is shown clining to the tower wall and about to leap on to severl titan for the second time. She leaps with her mouth wide open and her claws out and ready to attack.

Reiner and Berthold calm down and start to think of Ymir as a traitor, saying she knew about the mystery of the titans and kept them from humanity. Conny tells everyone to wait, he points out that it looked like she knew about her shifting abilities unlike Eren. Christa looks at the boys in shock and fear. Conny then askes which side Ymir is on and Christa could not believe what he was saying and askes him what he means. However, they become distracted when the titans attack the tower. Ymir is on the verge of defeat, when Christa encourages her to take down the tower. She does and saves her teammates by having them clinb on her head.
