Aubrey being friendly with him is the only thing he has working for him. He still can't shake the sensation that Eren has something to do with all this. When Mari says that she believes the figure wants to hurt Aubrey, it - for whatever reason - only reinforces that suspicion.

Was this thing you saw...not a human?
[An idea occurs to him quite suddenly. He straightens up in the booth and pats the ODM gear on his hip.]
If what you saw was a monster, it might be one I'm familiar with. I'm a soldier where I come from - a Commander, actually. Fighting monsters is all I know.
