[ Of course, Historia wouldn't leave the Walls for her own sake. Ymir knew that as well, didn't she? That's why Ymir lied, spinning that story about Reiner and Bertolt forcing Ymir to "capture" Historia. It occurs to Reiner that he could press that angle if he wanted. He could play Ymir's sacrifice against Historia; he could try to convince Historia to leave for Ymir's sake.

… But this is Krista. Krista, Historia, the girl who even animals love. Reiner won't weaponize Ymir's sacrifice against her. He's a mass murderer, not a fucking monster.

If (when) it comes down to it, they'll simply have to rescue Historia by force. For her own sake, even if she doesn't understand it. Even if the determination in her eyes hints at how much she'll resent it.
