There's a soft sound from Annie, almost nothing more than a quick inhalation of breath. That desire not to fail even more than they already have is something that she does understand, at least. One thing, though, that she's sure they didn't feel was that strange, urgent want to see Eren and Armin again. It was a prickling under her skin, a buzzing need, and it made so little sense that it's not too hard to disregard even if she can't ignore it.

Maybe it's just because she wants it over instead of hanging over her head, but there's no way to break this stalemate. She lifts her head, the corners of her mouth turned downward, staring at Reiner before looking back to Bertolt.
