[Accidental dick. Totally understandable.]

i think they like me? they didn't ask me on a date or anything but... [Aw, screw it. She can't dance around this anymore.] she asked if i wanted to try being girlfriends and i said yes, but i don't know to ask her out on a date or how to be a girlfriend, period.

[ oh, sasha has a girlfriend! THIS IS SURPRISING BUT NOT BAD. marco's happy for her either way, though. ]

I didn't know how to ask people on dates or be a boyfriend either before I was here, you know.

I usually just like being with Jean, hanging out, whether I'm reading and he's watching television or sometimes we eat dinner together. You might want to ask her what she likes to do, try doing that together?

Bertolt did send us to a fancy pizza place once on a date, and we dressed up nice, it was fun.

[Getting a girlfriend was so much easier than Sasha thought. Keeping her is the hard part.]

yeah, but you got jean and bertolt, so i figured you'd know how by now.

i don't know if she likes pizza. she likes archery, though! and calling me names.

[ isn't it, though? ]

Jean kind of picked me, I think. I just told him I loved him. And Bertolt is... special.

You guys could try going on a picnic and doing archery things?

[You know you told Bertolt you love him too, Marco. Just admit it.]

i think susan picked me too. i don't know why, but she did. i don't think i love her yet, but i like her.

that's a good idea! though i'll have to borrow her bow since mine is dumb and plastic.

hey, what do jean and bertolt call you?

[ well, yes, he did. but not at first. ]

You can tell her you like her, I think. If she chose you, we know she has good taste.

Do you know how to make bows? Maybe you could make one here.

... They call me Marco?

that's hard. what if i mess up telling her and sound like a dummy?

yeah. i just need wood and some steel. maybe one of the knives from the kitchen could work if i take it apart.

not baby or sweetheart or anything like that?

I don't think you can mess it up. And if she thinks you're a dummy for trying, she's not a very good girlfriend, is she?

You can take one of the knives, just don't tell Jean.

Oh! Jean calls me babe sometimes, and I call them both sweetheart. We don't do it too often, though.

no, you're right. somebody you're with shouldn't think badly about you. not even if they're royalty.

she calls me sweetheart and sweet girl so i tried calling her baby but it felt weird. i was wondering if there's something else i could call her in return.

She's royalty?!

You could call her a hunter, I guess? Or beautiful, I've called Jean that but he likes to argue about it.

she said she used to be a queen where she lived before here. her brothers were kings too, but they don't act like it. they act like us except they have nice things and they have accents i've never heard before.

that's because people kept calling him horseface which is just mean. he's cute, though. maybe you can call him cutie?

do they sound like any other accents we've heard, like thomas or masaki?

still, seriously, a queen? that's impressive, sasha.

he'd probably argue with me about that one too... maybe if everyone calls him cutie.

like thomas. she said she's from someplace called england.

is it? i guess so. i forget she's a queen cause she's so different than the royalty we have at home. she actually cares about people, you know?

watch me do it. i'll tell bertolt to do it too.

I think that's where Thomas is from, too. Maybe they know each other?

The King cares about people!

We should all do it, though.

maybe. there's another guy i met who sounds like them too, but he doesn't even know what england is. i don't know why they all sound the same though.

no, marco, he doesn't. he's not even the real king.

that's what i said. i'll tell bertolt to do it so we all will.

[Go tell Connie, Marco. They aren't on speaking terms for her to do it herself.]

Wait.

What do you mean, he's not the real king?

a lot of stuff happened, marco. we've been lied to all this time.

he's a fake. he's standing in for the real royal family.

But who's been lying to us? The King is supposed to lead us - that's why we keep him safe.

If he's not the true king, then who is?

the government. the king himself. the military police. they've all been lying to us, marco. it's not what we used to think it was. it's not just the titans anymore.

the reiss family. krista's family, but she's not krista anymore. her real name is historia reiss. her father didn't want anything to do with her so don't blame her. she didn't know.

The military police? Wait - are you saying everyone was lying to the public this whole time?

[ marco's taking it hard to believe, because, well - that was the group he aspired to. the person he wanted to protect. for the good of the people, to protect the king... ]

i've never heard of the reiss family... wait, krista is called historia?

[The military police were only out for the good of themselves and the king. Their reputation didn't come from nowhere.]

Yes, that's what I am saying. They've been lying for so long that everybody not them think it's the truth. Whoever makes the rules, it's not King Fritz, it's the Reiss family.

[This would probably be easier to tell him to his face, but she's already started. It'll be unfair to stop now.]

And neither did I, not until Levi told us. Krista Lenz was just the name she came into the military with. Before that, she was living away from her father. He made her change her name to Krista, but now she wants us to call her Historia. Either way, she's supposed to be the queen and that's what Levi wants. Get rid of the king and the rest of the Reisses and put Historia where she belongs and turn things around. Only Levi was a real jerk about it. He and Hange have done some terrible things too now that we're on his squad. Honestly, Marco, I don't know what or who we're fighting for anymore.

[ this is actually a lot for marco to take in. king fritz isn't the real king? krista is actually a member of the royal family? the survey corps wants to depose the kind and put someone else in place?

the only thing that isn't a surprise is hange and levi having done terrible things. he already knew that. ]

This doesn't... it doesn't make any sense. Are you saying they're rebelling? Or - I don't know what it is, if they're not really rebelling but doing the right thing. The King's a liar? I just don't even know what to say, Sasha....

i don't either, marco. like i said, nothing makes sense anymore. it was easier when i thought we only had to fight titans, but now we have to fight humans too. we're rebels now. we can get into so much trouble...

everything's terrible. that's why i didn't tell any of you guys before since all of you are behind.

People fighting people shouldn't even happen! I mean - if what you say is true, it needs to, but we're supposed to fight against the Titans, not each other!

God, this is awful... But thank you for telling me. I think it's better to know the truth, even if it's horrible.

what i'm saying is true! this isn't what i signed up for. i joined because i wanted a better life for me, not to hurt people.

i miss the rest of the squad, but... but i don't know not if i want to go back to that.
