[ENTRY 8: FIVE MONTHS AFTER THE FALL — TITAN SIGHTINGS INCREASE]
Titans are getting closer to the walls.

Shepherds report seeing them at night. Motionless. Faces turned toward the stone.
"She looked at me," one man said, shaking. "Not through me—at me. Like she knew I was there. Like she was waiting for something."
Hange is thrilled. "Changing behavior patterns! This is unprecedented! They're adapting!"
I'm not thrilled. I'm terrified.
If Titans are getting smarter, we're all dead.
