Annie: *sob sob*
What have I done…?
I told Armin I hate him…that I don't want to talk to him anymore….
I don't feel that way at all. How could I say such horrible things?
I'm sure he's hurt by what I said….
What am I going to do…?
As I thought that, from in front of me, a boy approached….
That was
Armin: "Annie!"
Annie: "Ar…min…."
Armin: "What's wrong? Are you hurt someplace?"
Annie: "My chest…it hurts. It keeps throbbing…."
Armin: "Annie…."
Annie: "Armin…aren't you mad at me?"
Armin: "For what?"
Annie: "All those things I said earlier…."
Armin: "Ohh, that…. I'm not angry with you. Not at all."
Annie: "Oh."
Annie: "Armin…you shouldn't be here. If Krista sees you being so nice to me, it'll look really bad to her. You two are dating after all."
Armin: "I'm not dating Krista."
Annie: "Huh?"
Armin: "We broke up earlier."
Annie: "Oh…I see…."
Armin: "I like you, Annie!"
Annie: "Me too! I like you too, Armin."
Armin: "But…the way you like me is different from the way I like you, isn't it…."
Yeah…Annie doesn't like me romantically the way I like her.
She only likes me as a friend….
After all, Annie likes Eren.
Annie: "You're probably right…."
Armin must only see me as a friend.
He doesn't see me as someone he could love….
Armin: "I see…. Well…I have something to do, so I'm gonna go, okay?"
Annie: "Okay…."
After moving out of earshot, I cried….
Armin: "Ough…Hic…."
What is this feeling…?
It's so sad…
So painful…
The worst feeling ever…
Armin: *exhales*
How the heck these two idiots couldn't figure out that they liked each other at this point is beyond me. Everything before this point, I can understand, but is this supposed to be normal?
Z: "I broke up with X. I like you, Y."
Y: "I like you too, Z!"
Z: (Y must only like me as a friend.)
*rubs temples* Un-freaking-believable, Armin. Annie might've figured it out if you'd said anything but what you did. Gah!
