Considering that kidnapping Eren in front of both Mikasa and Armin is probably one of the worse life choices you could make... yeah it sure didn't look very in control. seriously you probably would've been better off just snatching those two at the same time as Eren as hostages or something

But anyway, have you ever considered trying to get to know some of the other people here? I mean, well let's just say I can pretty much guarantee you're not the only guy in Johto hiding things from his buddies, so at the very least you might find someone who'd understand, you know?
