My blades sliced the Titans neck, my feet planting in the ground, and my legs bending. I gritted my teeth as searing pain shot up my arm. I forced myself to stand up straight and look around. Everyone was on the ground, the people up in the lift staring down at us.

"U-Uh," I turned my gaze towards Sasha who stared up in horror at the Titan that was now facing her.

My eyes widened as I took a step forward, seeing the Titan lunging towards her. The girl screamed in terror, flying out of the way and landing on the ground with tears in her eyes.

I jumped up, twisting my left blade around and sliced downwards. My blades dug into the Titans neck, my right arm burning as I used all my momentum to cut a chunk out of the Titans neck.

It fell to the ground, its body giving off steam. I fell to the ground shortly after, dropping my blades as I felt arms wrap around my waist.

"T-Thank you, Captain (Name)!! Thank you thank you thank you," Sasha continued to cry as I laughed nervously.

"Everyone, get your gas and blades refilled. I want everyone on that wall as soon as possible," as I spoke, I grabbed Sasha by her forearms and pulled her up.

"And stop crying. As long as you have these guys with you, and you believe in yourself, nothing will happen to you," Sasha nodded, wiping her tears away while letting go of me. I was quick to turn away and make my way over to one of the gas tanks.

I winced as I reached out for one of the spare gears that had been used in training. I sat down on a box, filling the tanks up with gas. I looked up and looked around at everyone, seeing smiles on their faces.

I could hear them murmuring to themselves, about how they were going to get out of this alive. I winced slightly at the pain in my arm, shaking my head as I disconnected the hose and started putting my gear on.

The right side of my white t-shirt was stained in a dark red from my blood. The bandages Marco had given me was already stained through with blood, and there was a couple droplets falling from it.

Shit

I stood up and took a step towards the stairwell that we had walked down. Andrew is still up on the wall, the wall that the Garrison is currently perched up on. He has no gear, and if they managed to find him.

"Arlert," my voice echoed throughout the room. The young blonde looked at me, his hands shaking. "You and Ackerman, make sure everyone gets to the wall," people stood up in shock, realizing that I was leaving.

"W-Where are you going?" Connie asked, taking a step forward. I took a glance around the room, thinking of a lie.

"I have to meet up with the Commander of the Garrison and inform him on everything. You guys stay safe, I trust you guys to make it to the walls," I ran up the stairs, hearing the shouts of protests behind me. I was abruptly leaving, but, I had too.

Andrew wasn't built for this world, he had no clue what was happening. I jumped over the wall of the castle once I got outside, gas coming out of my gear as I was propelled forward.

I wasn't even supposed to be here. Why was I here? Why did I forget everything? I got shot. I can still feel the impact when I thought about the moment.

I stopped on the roof of a building, clutching onto my stomach. I pulled my shirt up and stared down at the scar in the center of my stomach. The doctors never mentioned any of it. I know I didn't have these before I came into this world.

If I die, I get sent back to the real world. So, I can just die with Andrew and go back home, right?

But, I felt everything. I felt the blood and dirt on my skin, I felt the soreness in my arms and legs. I remember feeling the touch of when Erwin grabbed me, saving me from falling. I remember feeling the touch of when I hugged Levi.
