Memory 1
Memory: I don't need help to stand [ch1] (Trivial Negative)
Game: Animal Crossing with Game Freak
Day: 58
Pages 47-50
What it is:
-Armin is getting beaten up by some bullies who are calling him a heretic and taunting him about not fighting back
-He retorts that he refuses to stoop down to their level; since they have to fight him with violence rather than words, they're effectively proving that he's right
-Eren runs up, ready to fight, but the bullies are scared off when Mikasa follows behind him
-They offer to help, but Armin insists on standing up on his own
-Later, they talk about why he was getting beaten: he'd been talking about how humanity will one day need to leave outside the walls, a subject made taboo by the government and happily kept quiet by the people
-Eren mentions that Mikasa had told their parents about his intention of joining the Survey Corps, which they naturally hadn't taken well
(names are fuzzed)
What he learned:
-+++ Refusal to bend to pressure when he knows he's right
-He does mean it about not wanting to stoop to the bullies' level, but it's also because he knows he's not strong enough to fight them
-When your fists aren't strong enough, it's better to use words
-++ Feeling weak and useless
-+++ Desire to not have to rely on others and be a burden
-+ Dislike for authorities not doing the right thing
-Oh hey Galen has a sister who's badass and very protective of him
