Summary
Levi forcefully opposes Eren
Levi, appalled at Eren and Mikasa for suggesting that Erwin be sacrificed, orders them to stand aside so that he can save Erwin. When Eren attempts to bar his way again, Levi loses his patience and strikes Eren, to Mikasa's outrage. Grabbing Levi, Mikasa prepares to threaten him, but is surprised by how weak he is. As Floch, the surviving recruit, tries to convince Mikasa that Levi is right, Eren attempts to sway Levi by reminding him of all of Armin's past contributions in the Survey Corps' struggle against the Titans. Floch, angered, informs Mikasa and Eren of the deaths of their comrades at the hands of the Beast Titan, and informs them how Erwin's suicide plan was what enabled Levi to get close enough to engage the Beast Titan, despite the corner they had been backed into. Floch announces that, after finding Erwin's body after their charge, he had realized that the only way to defeat the Titans would be with someone demonic, like Erwin, and that he will not allow anyone to interfere with Erwin's revival.
Hange remembers those she would bring back
Before Mikasa can react, she is pulled off of Levi and restrained by Hange, who has just arrived with the rest of Squad Levi. As Levi prepares to inject Erwin with the Titan serum, Mikasa becomes hysterical, and Hange tries to remind her of Erwin's value to humanity. When this does not calm Mikasa, Hange admits that she also has comrades that she wishes to save, but that she has accepted that they must move forward despite how painful their losses are. Levi continues to prepare the serum, but is given pause by Eren, who tells Levi about Armin's dream to see the ocean. Floch restrains Eren and Levi orders everyone to leave.
As he grabs Bertolt, Levi remembers overhearing Armin's enthusiasm over seeing the ocean before the mission, having been sitting behind the three unseen. He recalls Erwin's wish to see the secrets of the world hidden in Eren's basement, before recalling his last conversation with Kenny. As he is about to inject Erwin, Erwin lifts his arm, away from the syringe. Levi is surprised, and watches as Erwin deliriously believes he is back in the classroom, having raised his arm to question his teacher about the apparent certainty that there are no humans beyond the land they know of. As he watches Erwin, Levi recalls his order to Erwin to give up on his dream and go to hell with the Survey Corps' new recruits. As memories of Kenny, Erwin, and Armin continue to plague Levi, he finally makes up his mind.
Bertolt Hoover dies
Bertolt awakes to find himself being set upon by a large Titan. His limbs severed when Eren cut him out of his Titan form, Bertolt can only scream in horror as the Titan grabs him. Seeing his former comrades watching from afar, he begs them to come and help him, but quickly realizes from the sorrow on their faces that they are only going to sit by and watch.
Armin Arlert lives on
As the Titan begins to bite down on his head, Bertolt only has time to plead for Annie and Reiner to come and save him, but realistically he knows it is too late for him; a final expletive is cut off as his head is crushed by the back molars.
As Bertolt is devoured by Armin, Floch asks Levi why he chose not to save Erwin. Levi notes that Erwin became a demon just as they had wished, and that he deserves to rest, rather than be brought back into their hellish world. As he watches Armin's Titan, Levi apologizes to Erwin for breaking his promise to kill the Beast Titan, admitting that it will take a bit longer. Hange announces that Erwin has succumbed to his injuries as a saddened Levi watches his Squad go to greet a newly resurrected Armin.
