"You're horrible at lying." Levi mumbled with his eyes closed in relaxation.

"Hah? I can't hear you Levi." Hanji gently wiped a cloth against his cheek, sitting beside him on the bed.

"Fuck you." Levi scoffed and pinched the woman's stomach, causing her to back away from him.

"Ow." She hissed, rubbing the area.

Hanji can understand how angry he must feel behind his calm expression. 

"Sorry." Hanji laughed nervously.

"It's been awhile. I'm surprised you got your memories back, Levi." She commented, tracing the faint blood painting his cheek area.

"Not all of it..."

"Hm?"

"I'm still missing something." Levi replied with a weak voice.

"Because of the shitty lies that you've been telling me, I don't even know what's real anymore." 

"I..... It's best not to know, Levi." Hanji sighed.

"Why not?" 

"Because It's just—-"


Hanji was interrupted by the sound of the creaking door. There it opened, revealing you, creeping from behind.

"Oi, you there." Levi opened one eye to see your shy form, as if you were a lost young child.

"Come here." He gave you a welcoming gesture as you hesitantly obeyed.

"Shut the door." He told you afterwards when you stepped right in.

You were unable to determine his mood. Was he angry? Is he alright?

Once you shut the door, you turned around to approach him in a slug-like speed.

"Don't be so shy, you idiot. Get over here." He sighed, almost as if he was disappointed in you.


Levi slowly sat up, holding out his palm towards Hanji, refusing any help from her for support. 

"I got it." He murmured.

Hanji lowered her arms, resting her hands on her lap as she stood up to give you two some space.

"C'mere. I wanna talk to you." Levi gives you an icy cold stare as you looked at Hanji, avoiding his eyes.

"I'm right here, you—" He scoffed, seeing that it was a bit difficult for you to follow his directions.

"Look, I'm not going to hurt you." Feeling he will lose patience any moment, you took baby steps to get to him.

"Here." Levi opens one arm to invite you in his embrace as you hesitantly accepted. His arm was wrapped around your waist as your arms were hanging by your sides.

"I am... Sorry for giving you a panic attack. I knew it was wrong. I was aware of it."

You stayed quiet and listened to his words of apologies. He pulled your arm so his hot breath could reach your ear.

"Just so we're clear on this, I would never intend to hurt any of my subordinates. You're no different from the rest." He whispered.

"You got that?" He pulled away, speaking in a normal tone as you nodded.

"If you want to make things even, I'm willing to accept some kind of punishment from you."

"C-Corporal, I—"

"Name it." He wore a stoic face, ready to listen to you.

"..." You shook your head and sat beside him.

"You're.... Back to your old self?" You asked.

"Of course. I won't go back to that side again."

"..... Promise?" You played with your fingers, looking down at them.

"Yeah." Levi nodded as he hovers one hand over yours.

"But that doesn't mean you get special treatment, you brat. Like I said, you're no different from the rest." He pats on your shoulder while you silently laughed with a smile on your face. It was proof that he wasn't lying. It was proof that he wasn't the person he once was. It was proof that he was the corporal that you knew so well.

"I understand."

"Good. You may be excused." Levi rustled your hair as you stood up and left the room without saying goodbye.


Levi leans back to rest again as Hanji came close to him, watching his eyes close again.

"Hey, can I ask you a question?" Hanji wondered as she peeled the bandages to heal him.

"What?" Levi answered in a soft voice.

"Do you.... Still have feelings for that girl?" She asked.

".... Why do you want to know?" Levi indirectly replied.

"I'm .... Just curious..." Hanji shrugged.
