Story
Ilse's Notebook: Record of a Fallen Soldier
The Talking Titan greets Ilse
During the 34th expedition beyond the Walls as Ilse Langnar flees towards human territory, this Titan finds her and corners her against a tree. Rather than eating her, it instead stares at her until, to her amazement, it speaks. The talking Titan speaks of her as "a subject of Ymir" and afterwards addresses her as "Lady Ymir" before greeting her with a formal bow. As Ilse begins to question the Titan of its origins and purpose, the Titan becomes increasingly uncomfortable, groaning and eventually pulling at the skin of its own face. As Ilse becomes afraid and flees, the Titan grabs her and crushes her head in its jaws, killing her. As she dies, the Titan begins to weep. The Titan then leaves Ilse's body within a hollowed tree, seemingly in respect.
The Titan is later found by Hange Zoë during the 49th expedition beyond the Walls. It attempts to flee to the forest where Ilse's body was left, but shortly afterwards it attempts to kill Hange and Oruo Bozad before being killed by Captain Levi.[2]
