     ”Uhh—Trost?”
            The name was unfamiliar to him. He knew the names of London’s
            boroughs, both inner and outer, but he had never heard of a district
            such as Trost.

               ”Well, uhm, the truth is, I don’t know,” Luke responded dismally.
                I just sort of woke up here, in one of those nearby buildings.
                                                                 And why is it so empty here?
                                                                                   Where is everyone?”

                                  (That was a first.).

                  Armin wanted to think—to b e l i e v e—that wherever this disoriented boy
        was from was a Titan free location; that its entirety ran amuck with 
                                             ❝frozen fire❞
                                                and ❝snowfields of sand❞
                                                       and the other many, many, m a n y wonders
                                 that beckoned to him in the pages of a book.

                  Unlikely maybe, but surely not impossible.

                  ❝It’s quite the story, actually…or at least more than just an ordinary
         anecdote—if you want me to fill you in, then I suppose I can do so.❞
