“I’m still the 14th commander… of the Survey Corps. I devoted my heart to the freedom of mankind… it feels like… I can see all my comrades […] Still… ‘Just bringing freedom to this island is enough for me.’ Do you think a single one of them would be so narrow-minded… as to say that? […] I’m still… a member of the Survey Corps.”
“I want to apologize for my behavior last night. We… were mistaken. I was being flippant when I spoke about justice… that was… an unseemly attempt on my part to justify my actions, even now. I was afraid of having to look at myself because it’d mean seeing everything contemptible about [redacted]. This isn’t your responsibility. It’s wrong to place the sins of the past on your shoulders just because […] But… we do have a responsibility to make sure… that future generations learn about this foolish, bloodstained history of ours […] This hell will never end so long as we keep pretending to ignore our foolish actions. So please… just for now, close your eyes… to my own foolish actions.”
“I know… how shameless it is of me to ask, but… we need all of you to help us… please… won’t you lend us your strength?!”
“I’ve done nothing I can be proud of… In spite of what my conscience told me… I instructed children to act in a country’s best interest […] I finally realized… just how happy I would have been… if only those kids could’ve lived normal lives.”
