The hope in my last review ...has been dashed. :-(
Jisoo's cousin is now a dis-Grace.

This is more random thoughts and speculation than a review:
First off, these sort of Great Reset type stories where a NWO-shadow organization uses shrinking to achieve a new epoch are paradoxical by nature (not a bad thing, in fact, it's quite good). The giantess action tends to be top-tier. I'm reading another story of a similar nature, "To Break in a Pet," and some scenes, much like this one, deserve a chef's kiss. On the other hand, because the giantess action tends to come at the expense of characters I've come to care about, whether it be Eren, Tommy, or, in the aforementioned story, Annabelle, you can't help but feel absolutely devastated about.
This chapter is another good example. Panty entrapment ... evokes something, and that's all I'll say on that. But, Grace has been a nasty, and unfortunately, Eren is in danger, and just when he was about to get his drip.
"Reprogramming" is an intriguing chapter name. The obvious implication is that Eren is going to be reprogrammed into being an obedient slave. However, as there is a twist in your story, Eren isn't necessarily the only one having his spirit tested. Jisoo is en route to meet her mother, which will challenge her very nature, even if it would be beneficial in the end.
One could also wonder, if Grace herself is in danger of being "Reprogrammed" as well. As has been mentioned this chapter, Eren has been through the gauntlet. He might have a fighting chance of turning the tables.

There's always the contrast of enjoying the giantess side of things, but opposed to them happening to people you don't wanna see hurt which I think is a fun concept to play with!

It was easy to forget how much of a monster Grace is.
She's also lying to Eren (and herself probably) that this for his own benefit. She's doing it partly for Jisoo (who would be much less appreciative of the means and outcome than Grace hopes) but mostly it's for her own sadistic inclinations.
For a brief moment it seemed as if she was feeling regret and perhaps even a little guilt when she was thinking of her own loneliness, recollecting her time spent with Eren, and pondering the way he grew up.
Author's Response: It's a number of reasons why Grace has decided to do this, but you are absolutely right to diagnose it as her being a sadist chief and foremost. Part of it is because she believes Eren will be executed if he doesn't change, another part is that she wants to make Jisoo happy by getting him to obey her. But it's pretty clear that ultimately she takes pleasure in doing it!
