She can see how surprised the Military Police representative is to only get two out of the top ten to ride back. They won't be the only one - there will be graduates from the other wings of the cadet corps - but they'll be the only ones from their section.
Annie doesn't sleep well that night, too haunted by the screams. It's probably obvious in the bags under her eyes when she mounts the horse she'll be riding to Stohess. She doesn't offer an explanation for it, though.
She doesn't say goodbye to anyone - not even Eren or Armin. It's a somber sendoff. It's a long ride, but it doesn't take longer than the length of the daylight to arrive in Stohess, the sun just starting to dip behind the walls as they arrive.
The MP member who rode with them lets them know where the barracks are, and which assignments they have. Annie's rooming with a girl named Hitch; it seems Jean is rooming with someone called Marlowe, a name so similar to Marco she almost hears it as that when they tell Jean. It makes her glance to him, despite her otherwise icy indifference the ride over.
