It's been a chaotic 2 days since the defeat of the female titan. A second previously scheduled trial regarding Eren's fate, intended to take place today, has been postponed, due to city-wide searches for lost loved-ones and a massive "clean up" of the titan shifters' battlefield.

He suddenly wakes up, to find himself within a well-furnished room. It has a large bay window in the center of the wall beside him, and light pearl and gold colored patterned wallpaper covers the thick wood and smooth plaster walls of the chamber he resides in. It's extravagant, and surely beats the dark, moist and foul-smelling cell he was locked in before he embarked on his first expedition with the Survey Corps.

He turns to his left and notices Jean leaning on the room's doorframe. There are visible dark areas beneath Jean's hazel, sleep deprived eyes. The previous night, Kirstein was ordered to write a report regarding the events that led up to the defeat of Annie's titan form, as well as the death toll and the destruction of multiple properties and buildings within the Stohess district.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo" Jean says, with a dash of sarcasm and as much enthusiasm as he can muster.

Eren tries to sit up as formally as he can, but gives up halfway and ends up leaning against the bay window's sun-soaked glass. He rubs his eyes in a sleepy manner, and gives his full attention to the young but fatigued Frenchman at his room's door.

"Hangé wanted me to bring you to the mess hall. She told me that we'd bring Armin and Mikasa along for the ride, too," he says, in straight voice. "Take a shower, put some decent clothes on, and wait for me. I'll be back in 15 minutes, so I suggest you hurry up, Jaeger."

Jean smiles, then salutes Eren, and shuffles into the dorm hallway, which leads to the center of the Military police brigade's HQ building. As he disappears from Eren's doorway and into the corridor, Jean produces a rather loud yawn.

After his refreshing and thoroughly cleansing bath, Eren opens dual wooden doors and reaches into a large wooden wardrobe inside the room, and pulls out several folded clothes. He puts on a pair of white pants, as well as a thin, woven charcoal shirt. He then closes the wooden wardrobe, and stares out of his lavish room's window. He observes saddened children searching for their parents and friends, as well deceased and injured soldiers being brought into the Military Police brigade's HQ.

Jean re-enters the room wearing formal civilian clothing, and coaxes Eren out of his stoic, observatory state. There's light conversation between the two, until Armin and Mikasa enter Eren's preppy quarters. The teens exchange greetings, and they all walk out of his chambers and into the hallway, where many MP's and soldiers stride by.

They navigate the intricate corridors and finally find the large mess hall. The cafeteria is empty, except for cooks preparing lunch, and Hangé, sitting at one of the many smooth, wooden picnic-style tables.

The four soldiers sit on the side opposite to her, and stare into her beady eyes, hidden behind feminine glasses.

"There's been a… development," she utters to the group in a troubled way…
