Do you mean the titans? We have to deal with those, yes, though I'm not sure how much we ever told you about them.

[Armin knows he has talked about titans some with various people, but at this point, it is not like he has a list of who he had and hadn't told. And there is always the possibility of people having talked to other people. In general, these days, the topic only comes up as a result of him explaining something else about his world. Armin doesn't spend much time talking about the titans if he can help it. They were not a pleasant topic, something best not remembered, and honestly, unless someone had stood before a titan with only a pair of swords and the gear to keep them alive, it is really hard to put into words just how terrifying they are.

And yet. Far from the most terrifying thing in their world. Especially after Jean returned and he told him about everything else they learned about.]


I'm not sure how to answer that. I guess it is how you cope with earthquakes or tornadoes. You try to learn as much about them as you can and try to be as prepared as you can to face them. It's terrifying, but it's also a mindless force of nature for the most part.

[And sometimes you have nightmares about them and sleep a little less. It's just the way it goes.]
