"My name is Armin Arlert, it's the year 853 and I'm not entirely sure why I'm writing. I suddenly ed a book I read about the outside world when I was a kid and I suppose I was inspired to write about my own experiences regarding the world beyond the walls. Maybe my writings will inspire someone one day, like that book inspired me to carry on fighting.

Unfortunately, my words won't inspire, they'll probably discourage, more than anything else. But, hopefully, by the time this is read, everyone will be at peace and this journal will be seen as an insight into history.

The world beyond the walls is not all I hoped it would be. I'm not naive, I always knew that eliminating the titans wouldn't be the last trial, but I didn't expect for there to be people beyond the ocean I always wanted to see, that were intent on eliminating us from existence.

Despite that though, some of our so-called enemies have teamed up with us. I'm not entirely sure if they're trustworthy, but I trust Commander Hange Zoë and she hasn't informed us of any reasons to distrust them that haven't otherwise been apparent. They speak of the ways they plan to eliminate fellow Marleyans, surely, if they were on the side of their comrades, they wouldn't discuss those sorts of things?

It's a bit scary actually. Much like Commander Hange, I'm intrigued by the inventions they have brought with them, but I'm also afraid of them. The Commander could be too, but she isn't showing it nearly as much as I know I am.

Eren has changed since they made their appearance, he's more distant, more hellbent on war. That's not to say he wasn't looking for a fight before we met a portion of Marley's forces, but he's not as emotional anymore. He used to say he would fight for us, for me, for Mikasa, for our comrades, but now his only focus is killing, wiping out the Marleyans to obtain freedom.

From fighting to killing. I don't know about anyone else but I see those two actions as different things.

I think, maybe, Mikasa can see it too. She's definitely in denial, so much so that I'm quite sure that the others believe she's just as devoted to Eren as she always has been, but I can see it in her eyes when we talk about him. She used to look determined, determined to clear Eren's name if need be, determined to fight for him, now she looks hesitant and unsure of herself, she grasps at straws when she defends him now.

Considering everything that's going on, Eren's behaviour is having the biggest emotional impact on us."
