User blog comment:Neetaku/The Possible Fate of Dot Pixis/@comment-5774380-20150601160227

I agree in some part. I think Annie will be released some day, likely when the confrontation with the people of the Homeland arises; though I think she will be released, not that she will free herself, or at least that she will be awakened by someone (maybe by her "prince charming" Bertolt?). And I find very plausible that that phrase was intended by Isayama to hint Pixis' death at Annie's hands.

But for some reason I don't believe he will recall that "wish" at the last moment and die a "prophetic death" while smiling, but that he will just be killed in a more serious and dramatic scenario (like Mike or Hannes), and that phrase will only be left as a hidden clue for us to note.
