Small Blade

Short Blade is the third chapter in the second volume and the seventh chapter overall of Shingeki no Kyojin.

Summary
Desperate and running out of supplies, a group of soldiers uses tables and chairs in an attempt to fortify an upstairs room. With [[titans] surrounding the building and peering at them through the windows, the situation is bleak. When a titan crashes their arm through the wall trying to get at them, a trainee decides that suicide would be preferable to getting caught and shoots himself.

Mikasa, reaching the front, joins Conny, Jean and other trainees on a nearby roof. With little to no gas in their 3D Maneuver Gear, they are unable to escape or help their comrades in the upstairs room.
