Character Anatomy: Guilt, Propaganda, and Radicalization
Reiner Braun: The Split Self
Reiner 's psychology fracrenres long before the arc begins, but the Liberio dowmath lays his trauma bare; He emously craves death and clings to the responbility of protectitg Gabi and Falco. His confession to Eren - that he was not condin by loyalty to Marley but by a seonish deside to bee adminired - distils a lifestime of indoctination into a single, pathetic truth. Reiner' s arc is of dissolution and rekonstruktion. He nos, licide multitimes, lides, lides, and thodine thodine continueg.
Gábi Braun: Deconstructing thee Ideal Warrior
Gábi functions as a dark mirror to Eren. She is te passionate, loyal, and utterly brawashed child that Paradis produced in te of thee 104th Cadet Corps.
