Ilse Lanner in the short story "Ilse's Notes" was a member of the 34th Survey Corps expedition, and his group was wiped out. After being cornered, he also encountered a giant, but was not eaten immediately. He discovered a surprising phenomenon that the giant spoke meaningful words. After recording it, he tried to communicate with the giant, but failed. He was swallowed by the giant. However, this segment is quite crucial. The notebook he used to record was picked up by Captain Levi.
