"Levi, did you talk to her yesterday?" Hanje asked as they walked towards Theia's new office. Levi nodded. "And? Did she tell you something shocking?"

"Actually, not. I expected what she said," Hanje frowned at his answer. It didn't seem Theia told him the truth about her condition. On the contrary, Theia moved to new premises, but left all her belongings in their old apartment. For the first time in six years, it looked like the two had split up. She sighed sadly.

"Levi you know. Theia is currently in a state, she is very sensitive and vulnerable, but she can't control that. She never needed you as much as now," Hanje tried very carefully to explain him the situation he still had no idea about. Levi closed his tired eyelids.

"You don't have to tell me anything like that. I will do anything she asks me to do. If she orders me to die, I will do it," Hanje was honestly shocked by his words. They sounded as if they hadn't even come from his mouth. Both entered the Theia's office with a large table where a huge pot of tea and mugs were placed. Levi's entire unit arrived shortly after them and greeted each other while sitting down at the table just as Theia appeared in the room holding many folders in her hands. She went around the table and one by one placed the individual files in front of the members.

"Good morning everybody. For each one of you, I developed a proposal for his new position in the survey corps. I imagine that each of you will begin to devote yourself fully to what you have a talent for. According to the final tests, the remaining members will be assigned to the unit where they are most suitable. For example, Jean, you are an excellent commander with an extremely well-developed strategic mind. You will lead a defense unit. Sasha. You have excellent shooting skills. Your unit will be in charge of firearms and we will be used in battle for exactly what you are meant for. This would extremely minimize the chances when highly intelligent humans die by the hand of a titan on the battlefield, while for example Mikasa and others have no problem killing titan after titan. It's time to use all abilities to the maximum and efficiently without unnecessary sacrifices," she explained in a calm voice and placed the last folder in front of Armin, who didn't have the courage to look her in the face. She herself sat down at the table and put her hands in front of her. "Hanje. Nothing changes for you. You will lead a research team. Your current work is to improve the thunder spears and our equipment to face nations far more sophisticated than we are. I wish you read my instructions and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me," she leaned back in her chair when she noticed Armin's shy look.

"Commander, I'm not sure if you gave me the correct folder," he whispered in a shaky voice and Theia breathed.

"Don't worry Armin, I did. You will be my personal advisor. I want you to present me every single idea that pops into your mind. Your intelligence is at such a level that we could dream about, that's why I decided that way," she answered him, looking at his frightened face, which he was covering with his hair again. "Eren. You will be under the direct protection of Mikasa and Levi. The fact that we will need your help does not change, but what changes is the situation regarding your freedom. No more dungeons or cells. You are free. You can move as you want,"

"Commander that..." Moblit entered her speech and she pierced him with a sharp look. He immediately fell silent.

"I will leave the fact that you will not do anything that would endanger humanity on your conscience. I will believe you, but there is no one who has the right to prevent your freedom. Levi and Mikasa, they will protect you from those who would harm you, but they aren't responsible for your actions. You'll be the only one," she looked directly into his eyes, which gently changed the sparkle.
