"That's not what I meant by stopping." The words don't quite come out as a growl or a frustrated sigh, but rather as something in between. Shit, how should he explain this? "...Where I'm from, the only way to move forward is by stopping the Titans from advancing. We stopped Wall Rose from falling when those bastards attacked Trost. We fought with everything we had, and a lot of people died, but humanity won its first victory against the Titans that day! Putting a stop to something doesn't mean you stop with it. It means you can keep going the way you choose without being carried through life by God or fate or whatever else people blame when they're too scared or lazy to fight!"

His eyes narrow as the names of the dead Trumps are listed off. And, presumably, what qualities each of them represented or looked for in their Chosen. But dead is dead, so what the hell does this one mean when it says completing the cycle will make them whole again? "You're trying to replace them somehow?" That's the best guess he's got anyway.
