Correct. That all happened in Paths. It's all still "real" in that they do actually talk to each other before the end (all Eldians are connected to each other through Paths). It just didn't happen in the physical world is all.

The cabin scene happens in the Paths same as the Armin meeting. It's Eren and Mikasa "dreaming" of the life they weren't able to have together. Similar to Eren and Armin visiting the far away places they had dreamed of when reading Armin's book together.

The cabin scene would've happened in a timeline where Mikasa had confessed her feelings to Eren when they were in Marley together. When Mikasa calls him family. If Mikasa had confessed her feelings instead, Eren would've left everything behind to go and live in peace for the last four years Eren had left before his Titan timer ran out. Of course as a result, in that hypothetical timeline, Eren doesn't go forward with the rumbling and he therefore gives up his ability to guarantee his friends' safety.

The thing is, there is no alternate timeline in AOT. The future Eren saw when kissing Historia's hand was the only timeline that would happen. Mikasa wouldn't confess her feelings, Armin and Eren wouldn't be able to look at the wonders of the world together, and Eren would always follow through with the Rumbling, dooming himself while saving his friends in the process.

Since the power to wipe memories doesn't work on Mikasa, it would've happened right at the end just before Mikasa knew Eren's head was in the mouth.

Watched this one last night before going to bed. Woke up this morning and haven't been able to think of anything else today. The show nailed it. I generally liked the ending when I read the manga, but seeing it all animated last night, I can't think of this story being told any other way. It was perfect for me.

Thanks for the update! Enjoying the app so far. Looking forward to what you have in store for the future.

Are you putting together/have you shared a more detailed roadmap for what you're tracking to accomplish during this beta phase of the app?

I did have some connection issues maybe ~7-10 days ago (would fall under the article's time frame). I'd have to unplug/replug my phone to get it to work. I didn't think much since I've had the problem in the past that ended up being a bad cable. Haven't had to do that in about 3-4 days now though so can't really conclude anything.

On a related note though, Android Auto and Mazda's rotary dial don't always work the best. Waze is hit or miss with the controls which is a damn shame. AA itself is a bit cumbersome to navigate. Just one of those I have to get used to I guess.
