"Please come in. We need to talk." Levi kindly escorted you to his office where Hanji previously showed him.

Once you walked in, you realized how clean his office was, more than usual. Except, it seemed empty. There was barely anything on display. No dust or dirt. Just a plain desk up front behind drawn drapes to prevent the light from seeping through.

"Still a clean freak I see." You mumbled to yourself.

"Did you say something?" Levi startles you as he shuts the door. You noticed that he didn't lock it, which caused your tensed muscles to relax.

"Ah-- No, sir." You replied, shaking your head in denial.

"Well, if you don't mind, take a seat there." Levi points you to nearest couch.

You sat on the couch with much comfort, while Levi settled on his chair. He stares at you, studying your figure, then turns away for a brief moment.

"So, how are you? I uh, heard from Hanji that you lost your memories?" You asked.

"I'm fine. My memories will come back." Levi answered.

"Oh... I see. I believe I should still address you as 'Corporal Levi', right?" You shrugged.

"Call me whatever, I don't really care about names right now... What I don't understand is... What.." Levi's orbs were drawing you in, giving your full attention to him.

"What is our relationship? Between you and I?" Levi squinted, sounding slightly desperate about it.

"Our relationship?" You raised your brows.

"Yes. If you don't mind, I'd like to listen to your story between you and I before I lost my memories--"

"A-Actually, I do mind, Corporal."

"Aren't you supposed to help me?" Levi tilted his head to one side with confusion.

"Our relationship... Isn't as big as you think, Corporal. It's not that important." You lied.

"..... Are you sure?" Levi asked.

"Yes, I'm positive. My job is to take care of Eren, nothing else. You and I are only acquaintances, sir." You nodded.

"Hmm... How long have you lived here?" Levi wondered.

"It's been awhile so I haven't been able to keep track." You responded.

"How can we be acquaintances? Do I barely come across you?" Levi asks.

"Yes." You hesitantly replied.

"That sounds ridiculous...." Levi commented, standing up, making his way towards you, step by step, causing your nervous reaction to unexpectedly spring up again.

"It's a shame that I barely know a brat like you. But I think..." Levi stops and sits beside you, laid back, crossing his leg, one over the other.

"I think it'd be nice to know you a little more." He says with a stone face.

"Corporal..." You began to slowly move away from the couch inch by inch.

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Levi noticed your little escape plan, aware that you were going to run from him.

"I-I'm not..." You spoke cautiously.

"Then why are you scooting away? You shouldn't be afraid of me." Levi responded stoically.

"I-It's not that."

"Then what is it?" 

"I'm just a little worried about Eren right now." You made up an excuse to get away from him. You knew you were playing a dangerous game with this man. Though he does not know. If he ever gets a glimpse of who you really are, it's game over.

"If you're so worried about him, maybe you shouldn't have left him behind and run away." Levi hunches over, resting his elbows on his lap, folding his hands together.

"What do you want from me?" You asked in a calm manner.

"I just want answers, nothing else. But I won't force you. I just thought you could help me clear my head. Shitty-glasses isn't helping enough." Levi explained.

You felt different towards Levi. He was more patient and thoughtful. His attitude and daily insults seem to simmer down. Overall, he was a soft-spoken man with caring words. No hesitation of asking and answering. You noticed one of his eyes had a tint of a brighter color of navy blue. 

"I have no answers for you, I'm sorry, Corporal." You stood up to bow in apologization. 

"Why are you refusing to answer all my questions?" Levi asks in curiousity.

"It sounds as if you're hiding something from me, and it's very unpleasing." 

"I don't know you very well, sir. That is all I have to say." You responded.

Levi thought for a moment, processing your words in his head. 

"...... Really?" He says in a quiet tone.

"Yes."

"Are you telling me the truth?" 

"Yes."

"It sounds as if you're lying to me...." Levi turns to your standing figure.

"W-What?" You held your wrist in comfort according to your nervous habit of rubbing your skin.

"Now that I think about it.... I feel as if Hanji, the armored titan, and you are lying to me. I don't know who is really telling me the truth." Levi sighed.

"It's like you guys are playing some mind trick to my head." Levi feels his temple, rubbing the small pain that was progressively fading away.

"I've had dreams about you countless times. And no matter what I see, it's always you who appeared." Levi claimed

"C-Corporal--"

"I was doing unpleasant things to you, and I cannot say, for it is too much for you to hear." He argued.

"Look, I know that you're Hanji's cousin or whatever. Even from a far distance, it's as if I can hear your voice calling before I could wake up." Levi spoke.

"It's just a dream messing with your mind--" You interfered.

"But it's telling me something... Why do they appear? The armored titan told me earlier that I had a close female comrade, possibly you."

"Levi.... You just need more rest. You must be hallucinating." You replied.

"Could it be a symptom I am experiencing?" He asks.

"I'm sure it is, Corporal." You answered.

Before he could open his mouth for another word, he kept his lips sealed, his head down and his arms loose.

"Then how can I possibly remember anything?"
