[ There are a number of reasons for that. The possibility of a lightning strike is chief among them; Reiner doesn't know how his Titan would handle such a thing, and he doesn't want to risk it with his damn nape to the sky. But he also doesn't want to wear down his stamina, leaving him unable to transform again without a rest period. Better to cut this transformation short and leave his options open.
Steam erupts from the Armored's nape as Reiner extracts himself, fleshy tendons clinging to him as if trying to hold him in place. He brushes them aside and slides down the Armored's body, squeezing through the space between its neck and shoulder, then dropping with a wet thud into the pit.
The Titan lines with which Hijikata is familiar mark Reiner's cheeks and beneath his eyes, which widen in surprise as Reiner takes in the fireballs. ]
