Complications Throughout Generations

Chapter 177

Hange's POV:

I walked in the room and saw a body. It was Levi's but it was hard to tell with all the wires and tubes everywhere. I sat in the chair next to the bed and held his cold hand.

"You know the one thing I ask myself a lot?" I was surprisingly calm. "Would Levi of let me help him if I had my memory back? I never really knew because I didn't know how I actually did help you back then. I had only heard things and read things. But things are a little different now," I smiled, feeling the tears, "you probably would've. I won't hold it against Eren because he didn't know but damn am I at a loss right now. I took care of you. I made sure you survived the blast of the thunder spear. I stitched and bandaged you up. I helped you get back on your feet. And in this lifetime? I didn't even have the decency to spend the rest of the day with you because I figured you wanted to be alone. But if I had my memory back, I would've known better. I would've fucking known you really needed someone even if you acted like you didn't." My tear drops fell on his hand but of course there was no movement. "I just assumed Eren was the only person that was capable of helping you. But you knew. You knew it was me too. But I didn't. So you kept it to yourself. God, why do you do that? You always did that. Kept everything to yourself. Never let anyone help you. I had to force myself into your life before Eren left but once he did, you finally gave in because you had no one. I'm so sorry, Levi. I'm...I'm so scared. You may not know it, but I've always needed you. You've always been my best friend. I can't lose you. God, you're my brother now. I'm your sister. Why would you ever do something so...so selfish?" I sighed and stood up once the doctor came in. "I love you, Levi. Don't leave. Not yet."
