But Armin Arlert, the true hero, offers the counterpoint. He says: “You can’t trade one hell for another. The world is cruel, but it is also beautiful.”
The final battle is not a battle. It is an intervention. Eren’s former friends—Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Connie, and even the rebuilt Reiner—stand against him. They don’t have a perfect solution. They have a humble one:
