[Childhood represents innocence and naivity, and that is something lost by not only Reiner, but all of them, a long time ago.]
[Hange is silent for a moment, intentionally ignoring the first questions in favor of debating the pros and cons of what to say. How much information to give out. What Reiner should know versus what is better kept quiet for now. In the end, they decide to give a brief rundown. Hange just told him to ask Gabi, so he is going to find it out soon anyway.]
The main point of the story is that we decided to work together, in a sense. Zeke willingly came to Paradis. While we didn't trust one another, we kept him under observation, I really thought at the time that we may be able to put our differences aside in order to focus on the bigger problems faced by our peoples.
[Namely the persecution and the threats and potential invasion and a whooole lot of other things Reiner has no idea about yet.]
Of course he repaid our hospitality by contaminating crates of wine with his spinal fluid, which he had generously gifted to all our officers, and government officials, you name it.
[This part doesn't need to be explained, surely. Reiner must know the effects of titan spinal fluid.]
And he didn't care who became collateral damage. Not even his "own people". Not even if they were children.
[Surely you can connect the dots with the last part, Reiner. Zeke's moves were dirty, and it spelt death for far too many people. A fate worse than death, perhaps, because those affected would eventually be turned into Titans and be slaughtered before they could eat innocents.]
[Of course there is a lot more to the story, and a lot of it is much more personal. Levi almost dying, Erwin dying, that one day that decimated almost the entirety of the scouts. But bringing up the events of Shiganshina is not something Hange wishes to do right now. Reiner is too involved in that.]
My point is, for those who know who he is, nobody likes Zeke. If he somehow appeared here he is receiving worse than a punch, and he would deserve it.
