"Will you be okay?"

"I'll try my best."

"What happened to Hange's group?" Levi asked, trying to hide his worry as he asked the Commander. 

"I don't know," Erwin replied. "But the majority of them were caught in an explosion."

"Tsk," Levi huffed, trying to activate his gear, ready to make his way in search of his beloved. 

"Levi," Erwin stopped him, a hand held at Levi's forearm. "You're needed here." 

"I can't just leave my-"

"That's an order," Erwin insisted.

Levi had no choice but to obey. And so he kept on fighting. Until the very end. 

Until Levi had to watch as his Commander charged hundreds of soldiers into a charge towards the Beast Titan. Until he had to watch Erwin absolutely obliterated by the boulders sent by the monster. 

Until he had sliced off too many napes of Pure Titans to get to the Beast. Until he had sliced off the body of the Beast, way too close to killing the man residing within the Beast's nape. 

He had to wait until the very end of the mission to finally find you. Levi was ready to search the wrecked district for you but he was needed on the rooftop. 

"Captain! The syringe!" Eren shouted with worry, tears flooding him upon seeing his best friend on the verge of death. "We'll turn him into a Titan and have him eat Bertholdt!" 

"Yes," Levi weakly answered, taking out the case. 

But he was selfish. 

He didn't want to just give it yet. 

What if you were wounded and on the verge of death as well? 

What if you needed it? 

Levi wanted to be sure that you were okay before letting go of the one thing that could bring you back to him. 

And he knew just how wrong that was of him. 

But he found it hard to find care when all he could do was think of you. 

Levi Ackerman was a selfish man. 

But Levi knew he had to give it away. He knew you would agree, too. 

"Captain Levi!" Someone's voice called for his attention. "I finally found you," Floch grunted as he climbed up the roof. "Commander Erwin is badly wounded. His stomach is gouged and his organs are demolished."

Once again, Levi Ackerman was a selfish man. 

Even if reviving the Commander would bring future victory to humanity, Levi didn't want to let go of the serum. 

Because Levi Ackerman was a selfish man. 

But he knew he had to. 

Only now, he didn't know to whom the serum should be given. 

And his selfishness brought doubt. 

Amidst his moment of doubt, Mikasa had tried to attack him. And he might have gotten caught in Mikasa's attack had Hange not stopped the wailing girl. Upon seeing Hange, Levi's eyes widened, awaiting your appearance. He quickly glanced around, lacking your figure in his troubled vision. 

"Hange?" He asked with wide eyes of horror. 

The scientist didn't have to hear anything else to know what Levi wished to hear. He wanted, no-He needed Hange to say that you were alive. He needed Hange to say that you were okay.
