Why did Miche choose to run away when there were Titans remaining?


Sometimes the anime leaves out some of the finer details, which doesn't appear
to make a difference in the long run, but ultimately leads to a lack of
understanding about what has taken place and why.

Episode 2 of Season 2 of Attack on Titan directly corresponds to chapter 35 of
the manga. Spoilers below.
