(AN: Huge *spoilers* if you're not passed episode 13 yet.)

Crying was something Tart has promised herself not to do as often. Crying is also something Tart does exceptionally well. She cried for too many hours in her room, before finally coming to her senses. She knew that she should help with the battle for Trost, and set out to do so. She'd be worthless in battle, so she helped the wounded soldiers. Then a shot was heard.

"A cannon? From inside the wall?" Said a soldier. Panic began to rise.

"The floodgate is the strongest part!" Said another soldier. A few trainees hooked up to the rooftops, heading towards the scene. Tart followed them, ignoring her fears, wishing to help humanity. A steaming colossal titan shell sat near the wall, dissolving. Frozen with fear, Tart had never seen anything like it. She stood behind the group, shaking.

"What is that?" She quivered out The group turned to look at her.

"Aren't you the Princess?" Jean said. Tart was becoming neurotic. She grabbed the back of his head, in tears.

"You have your head shaved like Levi." She fiddled with the hair on his forehead. "Your bangs are all wrong through." She started sobbing. "Where is Levi?" The group all awkwardly stood, not sure how to deal with this situation. "Levi could keep me safe, couldn't he?" Then Armin appeared from the smoke the titan left. They all changed their attention to him, instead of the howling princess.

"He is not an enemy of humanity!" Armin's voice rang out, sounding clear. Tart gathered herself, focusing on him instead of her own misery. She didn't fully understand what he was saying, but the group she was with seemed to. She wanted to ask them for an explanation, because what she gathered is that Eren is a titan. Which is absolutely ridiculous. Before she could ask, Commander Pixis put an end to the impromptu trail. After all the commotion was cleared up, the group turned to face Tart yet again.

"Are you alright?" Jean asked her. She couldn't reply, since Annie gave her a firm slap to the face. Everyone stood in disbelief.

"Stop blubbering about and actually be useful! I'm sick of hearing you cry because you want "Levi." You're selfish." Annie reasoned for the slap. Tart smiled.

"I am, aren't I?" The soldiers left, to resume their duties. Tart sat on the rooftop, cursing herself for allowing her Pandora's Box of Memories to take over her. She felt so stupid for being so incapacitated. Levi has kill countless titans. He stares them in the face and makes them his bitch. Tart became the titan shell's bitch. She shuddered at the thought of how she would have reacted if it was an actual titan, and not just a dying one.

The majority of the citizens, the ones who had not become dinner, were already behind the façade of safety. It was clear that walls no longer stopped the titans. How long until one scales wall Sina? Tart pondered all of this as she laid on the rooftop.

Hours later, she was still on that rooftop when she heard the commanding voice of Pixis. She listened very carefully to his plan from her secluded rooftop.

"He is the result of a top secret project to turn humans into titans."

Vomit filled her mouth, just from hearing those words. She regurgitated her empty stomach, throwing up mainly stomach acid. "Why? Why?! Why are we turning humans into these beasts!?" The rage filled her thoughts. Everything she thought she heard from Armin was correct. Eren Jeager is a titan. The commander's strategy was to use Eren in his titan form to cover Trost's broken gate.

Murder was something that Tart had never thought of before. Now, her mind was calculating ways she could kill Eren before this plan could continue. Pixis was allowing the soldiers to walk away; desert with no penalty. "I could hook to the wall below them, and shove him off before anyone had a chance to think. Shit, that wouldn't work. He'd just use his gear to get to safety." She laid out her own strategy. As she worked through the thought process, she ran out of time. The troops were gathering. They were going to set out. She proved again to be useless.

Tart continued laying on the rooftop. She laid there as Eren turned into his titan form and put the plan into action. She laid there as the task was completed. She laid there as the Survey Corps saved the mission. She laid there as the Garrison eradicated the remaining titans trapped in Trost. She laid there as Levi's face appeared over her.

"What the hell are you doing?" He kicked gently at her. "Why aren't you assisting in the cleanup? You are worthless." She smiled, then laughed. Her laugh was off though, borderline insane.

"Haven't you heard? Eren Jeager is a titan!" She continued howling. "He saved Trost. A titan! She began shrieking. "Men can't do anything against the beasts, so we have to become them." Levi scowled.

"He's on trial in a weeks time."

"I hope he hangs."

This kick was filled with passion, and rage. He didn't hit the Princess, but directed his anger onto the rooftop instead. For a split second, Tart thought she saw a melancholic look on his face, but he resumed his frown.

"He's in our custody now. Go help with the cleanup." He departed from the rooftop, but before he was gone he called out, "And fucking eat something!"

Tart smiled. At least he still cared for her well being. Even if it's in the most miniscule way. She gathered herself, and went to help. "I was selfish again." She reprimanded herself for this. The people needed her. She had to stop failing them. Instead, she smiled.
