Because she was defeated in battle, and we managed to ensnare her. I assume she thought it her only option, a last line of defense once she realised she could no longer escape us.
[Annie knew that it wouldn't be a simple matter of the scouts killing an enemy in their home. No, they would have taken every step necessary in order to information from Annie, whether she gave it willingly or not. And Hange would have been at the forefront of it all.]
[Hange's affect shifts into something more serious, staring down Reiner as they continue to explain. It's probably going to piss him off, to know that Hange had every intention of doing exactly what Armin said, but lying to his face and pretending they were simply going to lock her up and give her a stern talking to would probably be worse, right? Better to face it head on now and deal with the outcome rather than have it raise its ugly head later on.]
I told her that I had every intention of extracting information from her by whatever means necessary. On that account, Armin's tale was not far from the truth. But you understand why it would have been necessary, right Reiner? Another person beside Eren, who could turn into a titan? But this one had killed countless scouts, our friends, and flattened half a city district in her escapades. Questions needed answers, for the sake of humanity and for the safety of those within the walls.
[It would be rather like the starfish, trapped in the bottom of Hange's bucket. Just enough water to let it breathe and not boil away in the sunlight, but it's hardly an enjoyable existence. One it won't be able to escape from until Hange's curiosity is satisfied.]
But the fact of the matter is, she did encase herself, so she remained unharmed. By the time she was free of it, we already knew the truth. And as I've told you before, I think we understood each other's points of view rather well by the end.
