[ A good Warrior, a good soldier, a good Eldian. Reiner has always wanted to be a "good" version of whatever he is. If he's honest with himself, he knows that tendency hasn't faded: it's just shifted. Now, he wants to be a good Otherworlder, one who helps to protect people and save this world.
What did Jean call him the other day? A romantic? Maybe he is. But at least it's not self-destructive this time.
Annie's hunch is right: Reiner isn't interested in Paradis' internal politics. Not beyond what was necessary to complete their mission, and they know perfectly well where the Founding Titan ended up. (Which reminds him: he needs to brief her on Frieda.)
But the way she phrases that—over the years—clues him into something that perhaps should've been obvious. ]
… You were aware in the crystal. [ It's not a question, just a realization. ] Did you hear about Historia, then?
[ How there was a royal right under their noses the whole time? ]
