Wall Sheena, Goodbye arc
Sometime before the Survey Corps' 57th expedition beyond the Walls, a superior officer briefs Hitch, Marlowe, and Annie on an illegal drug known as Coderoin. She is informed that the drug has only recently been introduced to Stohess District. Hitch is interested to learn that any soldier that confiscates enough of it will receive a special bonus.

On the morning before the Survey Corps' 57th expedition beyond the Walls, Annie wakes up in her room in the Military Police Brigade Quarters barracks.Thinking back on the battle in Trost District and the aftermath, she wonders how many lives she will need to take in order to capture Eren Yeager. She steels herself, believing that nothing must stop her from completing her mission.

As Annie puts on her hoodie, Hitch mocks the lack of variety in the cloths that Annie wears, suggesting that Annie should dress up for a change. Annie asks Hitch to report her sick during the next day's district patrol, so that she can take care of some minor business. Thinking to herself, Annie notes that she will not need an excuse if she succeeds tomorrow, but if she fails she will need an excuse for her absence. While Annie considers her options, Hitch hands her a sketch of a young woman who was reported missing, Carly Stratmann. Hitch tells her that if Annie takes care of this case for her, it would return the favor for Hitch reporting Annie sick. Hitch asks Annie who the guy she is meeting up with tomorrow, to which Annie with a 15-meter Titan. Hitch tells Annie to work on her sense of humor.

While eating her breakfast in the barracks mess hall, Annie evaluates if it is worth the effort to start a missing person's case in a single day. Seeing Marlowe in his usual professional state working on his day off, Annie decides that it would be best for her to keep her mind busy and play soldier for one more day.

Annie reads over the case file on Carly as she rides in a cartridge on the way to the mansion of the Stratmann family, to talk with Carly's father and head of Marleen Company, Elliot Gurnberg Stratmann. Upon her arrival to the mansion, Elliot butler welcomes her and leads her to Elliot. Annie asks Elliot about the circumstances to Carly's disappearance, to which Elliot seems unsurprised that his daughter is still missing even after ten days of him reporting it to the Military Police. When Elliot asks Annie if the Military Police is incompetent, she replies that he is free to think that. Elliot calls Annie a liar, hypothesizing that Annie was too lazy to search for Carly. Annie tells the man that he is correct, yet Elliot claims once again that she is lying because if Annie were truly lazy she would have never come to ask him questions. Impressed with the man's intuition, Annie informs him that she is the first person to follow up on the report after it had gone through two other policemen.

Elliot asks her how long she has been in the Military Police, and is bitterly amused when Annie informs him that she has been in the MPs for only a month. Annie asks Elliot why he has not hired private professionals to find his daughter. He tells Annie that private professionals can only be trusted to separate him and his money, but his eyes tell them that he can trust Annie to find his daughter.

As Elliot explains the circumstances surrounding Carly's disappearance, Annie jots down notes in her notebook. Elliot explains that Carly did not show up to dinner twelve days prior, despite it being a rule to always have dinner together, regardless of their busy schedules. Annie further questions Elliot about Carly, but Elliot responds to each of her questions telling her that he knows little about his daughter and only cares that she shows up to dinner everyday. Elliot informs her that Carly graduated from Einrich college three years ago, majoring in chemistry. Annie asks Elliot if Carly's disappearance could be because Elliot is a rich and powerful man, to which he responds no due to the lack of an ransom demands. Annie asks him if there is a possibility that Carly might have run away, but Elliot is unsure since they have cooperated in living together since her mother's death.

Their conversation is interrupted due to a loud knocking at Elliot's door. As Elliot sends his butler to answer the door, Annie notices a man leaving the estate and jumping the fence outside. When Annie asks Elliot to clarify what he meant by "cooperated," he restates that he and his daughter only interacted at dinner. Annie thinks to herself that Elliot is acting odd and suspects that he is hiding something.

Annie goes back to the Military Police Brigade Quarter materials storeroom, Annie asks for information about the Stratmann family and the Marleen Company. She learns that the Marleen Company mainly traded with merchants from Wall Maria until Shiganshina District fell in the year 845. After the fall, Marleen Company went into a large downsizing, reduced to only a carriage service. Annie is skeptical of how Elliot can remain so financially stable with only a transport service. Furthermore, she is also curious of why Carly Stratmann is unemployed despite having graduated from Einrich College with a major in chemistry, three years ago. Annie wonders about the relationship between Elliot and Carly, finding it strange how neither is involved in each others' life. She thinks back to her relationship with her own father, who subjected her to restless training from morning to night with no room for disobedience. Annie returns her thoughts to the Stratmanns, finding it odd that Elliot spoke about Carly as if she was independent of his finances despite her seemingly needing to rely on him for money.

Annie asks for any interrogation records relating to the Stratmann family, and she discovers that Carly was interrogated once after being found in a drunken state in front of a bar in Stohess, the Pit Lidors. She heads to the Pit Lidors without any delay.
