You can spend hours by trying to find the ultimate true behind all of that secrets and lies. There is always an evidence supporting each side's version of the story and we, as a readers, don't have so much informations to say which arguments are stronger and which of them are weakier. Isayama is the one who could say: Yes, this version is true and the other ones are lying, but Isayama is just too clever to composite his universe in such easy way. He gave us an option to choose our perspective for the story: to follow the Eldian line, or to follow the Marleyan one (or to follow your own subjective line). That's one of the reasons why the AoT story is so impressive. There are plenty of different elements you have to deal with while trying to find the right interpretation of the story. Maybe I'm just sceptical, but I still don't believe that Isayama will ever reveal some unquestionable interpretation of the story.

''About the hidden secrets and lies, this is nowadays a common way how to composite a compact universe. The high number of revelations and hidden information are a classic elements of the postmodern type of narrative. Postmodern (books, films, paintings...) are always composed like a maze where you can choose your own path you'll follow. The postmodern art resigns in the effort of finding the absolute (true, beauty, sense of life) in order to show the complexity and divergency of the subject. Thanks to this open construction, (reader, viewer) can subjectively contribute to the interpretation of the subject in a larger way. That's why the postmodern art is consider as the most subjective one and (that's why I believe that the complex and philosphicly problematic world of AoT can be considered as a classic postmodern maze)''
