From the rubble and dust, Zinnia began coughing, throwing up feeling sick to the core. Pulling herself up slowly, she began stumbling around, hearing the screams of innocent bystanders' edge into her mind. She wanted to help, but her body wouldn't budge as she fell to her knees, struggling. From the dust, Chloe flew out, crashing into a burrow as Alton was taking on both Sub Stages at the same time. Pushed back, he kicked his leg up as fire separated him from Eren.
All she could do was watch in pain falling to her stomach. Then, feeling someone help her, she expected to see Alice only to be shocked overseeing Lucas pulling her up. "Can you stand Zinnia?"
"You, why are you helping me?"
"I didn't want any of this…. But, you're right, Zinnia, there is always a choice. No one had to die today." He whispered, helping her away. "That can't be Alton…. I refuse to admit it."
