- Mister Kruger wonders what draws a soldier through hell

From One Hand to Another (手から手へ) is the 3rd chapter of the 24th volume and the 97th chapter overall of the Attack on Titan manga, written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama.

Summary
Annie goes undercover inside the interior walls and eventually notices an official dressed differently than the others she's passed. Figuring out that he could possibly lead her to the King, she rounds a corner and notices he's gone. Suddenly, the man appears behind her, saying that he noticed her following him and wants to know why. Annie claims that she is his long lost daughter. Calling her bluff, the man narrowly misses getting kicked in the head. Annie takes off, eventually losing her pursuer by diving into a sewer grate.

Bertolt is seen asleep as Connie and Marco try to guess what the weather could be like for the day based on the position he's sleeping in. Reiner tells them both they'll be late for roll call and wakes up Bertolt. After breaking up another fight between Eren and Jean, Reiner notices Annie with a sullen look on her face. That night, she tells both Reiner and Bertolt about the official and how she almost got caught; noting that he got a look at her face, Annie suggests they go back to Marley with the information they have gathered already. Reiner says that their superiors will be disappointed. When asked about an alternative, Reiner states they will destroy Wall Rose; in the confusion and chaos, they will hide among the refugees entering the capital. Although they could still be local Military police members, it would make their task of following the King's movements even easier. When Annie reminds Reiner that this plan would cause many of their friends to die, Reiner sternly proclaims them as 'Eldian devils' who aren't his friends; Annie is shown to be disgusted by his comments, while Bertolt looks on silently. Reiner apologizes for putting a lot of pressure on them and decides to revisit it later.
