I honestly can't remember if there was this scene in the anime, but in the manga, when they clear Trost of corpses, Annie walks among the bodies of dead comrades and apologizes to them. Look at that girl's face and try to tell me she doesn't care.
Yeah, I remember the whole situation with the Female Titan trying to capture Eren, where she spins one Scout like a damn yo-yo. What the hell was that. But honestly, all she wanted was to go home to her father, and after everything that happened to her, I understand why she was so ruthless in her quest to get Eren. She CAN be cruel. But, like, what were the other choices?
She is not heartless, she regrets, she cares. She just can't afford to let her emotions get in the way of returning home :C
I still can’t believe that there are some people around today who think Annie is soulless and doesn’t care for who she kills. Now it might be half-true, but aren’t you forgetting this scene with poor Marco?
This is her face when Reiner told her that they had to kill him for overhearing their secret.
She also went against having to be forced to take away Marco’s gear, and yes, she did so anyway because Reiner mentioned her father. But as you can see, her expression doesn’t lie.
Not only that, but she directly stared right at Marco’s crying eyes, pleading for her to stop, and she’s just as upset as he was.
(I hate seeing my boy like this 😭)
In this shot below, you can tell she was on the brink of tears having to watch him get grabbed and eaten by the upcoming titan, and to make it worse, she had a nightmare about this very moment.
Side note: Bertholdt looks very sad as well; not counting Reiner since he switched personalities.
So for anyone who continues to say Annie has no heart, I will like this to be reminder that it’s certainly not true and that she does have a small circle for those who grew on her.
(Wow. Marco was such a nice boy that even Annie respected him)
