[Armin really doesn't know what to say, doesn't want to interrupt her if there is more to her story.
People have told him that his world is a horrendous one, and perhaps it is. The titans would be terrifying to anyone. But in some ways, the titans were always a simple enemy. There were no hidden motives, no subterfuge. The lines between who was the enemy and who was your ally had always been starkly drawn. It didn't make them easier to deal with, not a shred less lethal, but it certainly had always made the whole conflict feel almost black and white.
Annie's betrayal (if he is right about that) has changed that, but even then it is in no way comparable to being used by a father, someone who ought to have your best interests at heart. It makes Angel's upbringing sound more horrible than theirs was by far.]
