What will my friends do?

"I entrust it to Eren! My dreams...my life...Everything! This is the only thing I have to give! I'm sure Eren will reach the sea! Hell look at the sea for me!"

-Armin

Surely it's a bad day at work as we had power interruption and our internet connection got lost even though the power came back late afternoon. We were told that the restoration might take longer as they were fixing the same line over the other building that has problem. I have no retort to that as we can't do anything about it. My problem lies on the articles I opened on my PC on multiple tabs. I planned fo read them all today but with the sudden interruption I guess I have to list them all and read it on my phone if I have sustainable connection. And I struggle on attaching photos as it gets decline on many tries.

I surely am hooked with Attack On Titan and I can't seem to get it out of my head that I want to finish it until the end. Call me an addict but once I butt in my nose over a certain something I can't just let it put to sleep as it is. I finished the Season 2 at Five in the morning utmost earlier if I'm not mistaken and then I downloaded the remaining seasons after. Only halted because of the sudden power interruption and the loss of internet connection that I can't download them all as of writing.

But I already finished watching season three just now. And it's really mind blowing and I kept on gasping upon the revelations per episodes. And yeah the sudden rise of emotions and the crying is present but the suspense and the hatred of certain characters didn't got out of my system until now.

I can't seem to understand the series at first so I opted to continue watching until I reached season three only then I able to understand their beliefs and dreams on why they were fighting. They have personal goals and to seek revenge or to save humanity by conquering the once lost property.

Out of the many scenes and episodes, one particular scene struck me. It was the time when Bertholdt,collosian Titan, releases hot steams and attacked Armin. Armin hold out until his body was burned to stale time for Eren to block the wall's hole and then attack the titan.

Levi has the medicine that can save a certain person by injecting it and then that person can turn into a Titan form and eat the body of the colossian titan so that its power will transfer to him. Levi was torn between injecting it to their commander in charge or to Armin.Eren and Mikasa(Armins's friends) fought so hard just to let the medicine be injected to Armin. Their friendship proven that whether death or life they'd chose friendship.

(Apologies for the rough plot and summary)

I told myself, what will my friends do if I'm in the same situation? Will they chose their superior whom they know can lead them and will grant them the best life, or me, their friend?

It kept irking in my mind but I can't seem to find an answer and I don't want to ask my friends such questions as they might get mad at me for questioning our friendship heheh.

I know, being an introvert taught me how to be negative thinker at all times. I always wonder what my friends thought of me as I merely interact with them and I don't even engage in longer conversations so I'm pretty sure in a death or life situation they'll chose the other over me. Not that I can change that thought overtime though.

My friends were the people I tell tales of my life and I often share my thoughts with them and they do the same. We've been friends for years and we did argue over matters that concerns the other and then we retaliate and ask forgiveness. Our friendship was tested way too many times I can't count on my fingers so I entrusted part of my life to them like they are to me.

It's just a mere question that pops in my head upon watching the series. Will surely never let the week pass that I will finish watching this series.

Thank you for reading!
