-Armin's POV-
"Hold him down!"
"Be careful!"
"Make sure you don't kill him!"
As I listened to the shouts of my comrades, which dripped with fear, I couldn't help but freeze and stare at Eren in his Titan form. He was going berserk- no, he wasn't to that point.
Yet.
Hange had tried playing a high-resonance sound from a machine when he had changed forms, and the results had turned out to be horrible. Eren had started attacking anyone near him, yelling, and destroying property of the Survey Corps.
And the remedy Hange had prepared... hadn't worked.
Our only option now was to cut Eren out of his Titan body. Or, if things became too dangerous, we'd have to kill him.
My pessimistic thoughts were put on pause when something- no, someone crashed into me. Sasha, to be exact. And a girl I hadn't seen before, who wasn't wearing the Survey Corps' uniform.
"Oh I'm sorry! That must've hurt!"The girl turned to face Eren and his rampage, "Is that Eren?"
"Hm? How'd you know?" Sasha replied.
"There's a resemblance. See? The black hair and the deep green eyes. They're the same."
The two climbed off of me as if nothing horrible was happening, and I knew they didn't understand the graveness of the situation.
"If Eren doesn't calm down, we're going to have to kill him.. I need to think, with a sound that high-pitched, at that volume, the only way to counter it would be... I don't know!" I muttered.
My gaze was fixed to the ground, so when the girl pressed her forehead against mine, I hadn't seen it coming.
"What are you-"
"Calm down. Calm, calm. Shhh, it's okay, I'll fix Eren."
A wave of serenity passed over me, starting from where our skin was touching, and I came to realize I wasn't hyperventilating anymore. Before I could ask the girl what she'd done, she had already left, headed towards Eren.
Maybe, if she performed what she'd done with me on Eren...
Just maybe..
-Eren's POV-
Kill all the Titans! Make them suffer! Kill! Suffer! Kill every... Kill everything! Make everything suffer! No more anythi-
Something stopped moing in front of. It was so small, so I picked it up to get a better look. The thing had long black hair, and it didn't look scared.
It smelled good. Maybe I should eat it?
I opened my mouth, putting it closer, so it was almost inside.
"Eren! Calm down!"
Kill kill kill kill.. calm?
"Shhh, Eren, shhhh. Calm down, it's okay. Everything's okay. There aren't any Titans, you'd don't have to get so worked up. Shhh, shhh. Don't hurt anyone anymore, okay?"
Hurt? Calm? I was hurting someone? What am I doing? I was listening to a sound, and now...
I now recognized the "thing" as Libra, from earlier, and quickly moved her away from my mouth. I put my free hand under the fist I was squeezing her with, and let her fall into my open palm.
She smiled up at me, not afraid in the least, and exclaimed, "Good, Eren!"
As I looked around me, at the frightened faces, I realized what had happened.
I'd gone mad again.
And Libra had somehow calmed me down.
I put Libra down on the ground, and then changed back to a human.
I was glomped by Mikasa and Armin, smacked hard on the back of my head by Levi, and questioned by various scientists.
What I found strange was that Hange Zoe and Libra were nowhere to be seen.
Wouldn't they have been talking to me, too?
