While the Scouts and members of the Garrison were going to Wall Rose to search the hole where the Titans entered. Pastor Nick went to the Military Police Brigade Headquarters. When he reached them he went straight to the Commander Nile Dok office. He knocked on the door and Nile told him to enter.
Nile: oh, Pastor Nick, why are you here?
Pastor Nick: this is bad.
Nile: explain.
Pastor Nick: one of the members of the Scouts knows about the secret of the walls.
Nile: What?!
Pastor Nick: His name is (y/n) we need to go and eliminate him. But for now, we need full custody of him, when he is released from his crystal we kill him.
Nile: (y-y/n)? W-we can't do anything against him.
Pastor Nick: what?! why not?!
Nile: do you even know his full name?
Pastor Nick: I do not, and I don't care!
Nile: Well, you should care. His full name is (y/n) Reiss. So if you do something against him, you would be the one ending up dead. Besides, the Queen already told us that he wants him to be her personal guard. So he won't tell anything to no one.
Pastor Nick: Are you sure the Queen is making the right decision?
Nile: Don't worry. They knew each other for years. Every time I went to the palace some years ago I would always see him with her.
Meanwhile in Wall Rose.
Some Scouts searched for the hole in Wall Maria while other Scouts went to the towns to evacuate the people in them. But something was odd, in Connie's hometown there wasn't anyone, but in Connie's house, there was a small skinny Titan laying on the roof. The way his body was made, made it impossible for it to do something.

As they were leaving Connie said he heard the Titan say "Welcome Back".
The other Scouts searched the towns, with the same result, no people found but the houses were destroyed. They kept searching for the hole until midnight. And they found the other team that was searching for the hole, both of the teams found nothing, and since it was midnight they found an abandoned castle and went there to rest.
Meanwhile with Hanji
Hanji was in a carriage cart with Armin, Mikasa, Eren, Levi, and Pastor Nick. She had a piece of Annie's Titan hardening and (y/n)'s Titan armor on her hands. She got that piece of armor when you were experimenting with it.
Levi: Hey four-eyes. Are your hobbies so boring that playing with rocks is somehow fun for you?
Hanji: Yeah. That's right. but these are not ordinary rocks. It's a hardened fragmented of skin left behind by the Female Titan, and this one is (y/n)'s Titan armor.
Armin: Huh? They didn't disappear?
Hanji: Right! Annie and (y/n) reverted from their Titan, but these still intact even though it broke off their bodies. They didn't evaporate. They didn't disappear. So I thought "What if?" When I compared them to a piece of the wall, Annie's hardening pattern and composition were practically identical. But (y/n)'s piece is more flexible, but it's still similar, so I compared another piece that he made that wasn't flexible and they were the same. In other words, the Wall is a barricade made from humongous Titans. And if I'm right, the surface is constructed with hardened Titan skin.
Mikasa: that's exactly what Armin was saying...
Armin: th-then!-
He was silenced by Hanji putting his hand on his face.
Hanji: wait! let me finish, Armin. As it stands, we'll be hard-pressed to fill the hole in Wall Rose. We could do it easily if (y/n) was here, but he's still in the crystal. So that is unless we find the perfect boulder to plug it. But if... But if Eren, in his transformed state could use the Titan's hardening ability to seal the hole in the Wall...
Eren: Use me... to seal the wall?
Hanji: it should be made of the same material, and seeing how the hardened section won't evaporate, even after you revert from a Titan... It's possible. The statue that (y/n) made is still in the middle of a street in Stohess, so if you can't use hardening or something fails, we could use some of that hardening to seal the hole.
Hanji then removed her hand from Armin's face.
Armin: I think it's well worth the risk to try. Assuming it works, reclaiming Wall Maria if (y/n) still doesn't get out from his crystal. Would be feasible, too.
Hanji: Let's just hope for the best.
A/n: I'm going to put the story on a hiatus for some time. It will be for a week or so. The reason for this is that I'm not getting the inspiration to make new chapters recently. It's been very difficult for me to write a new chapter. I hope you understand.
