Prologue

"Levi Squad, do you copy?" Erwin asked over the radio.

Silence.

Erwin's brows furrowed with worry. He tried again. "Levi, do you copy?" The radio scratched before a muffled voice came through, Levi's voice.

"C-copy." His voice trembled and cracked over the static of the radio.

Erwin knew something wasn't right. "How bad?" He asked with a dull voice.

There was a long pause before Levi's voice was heard again. "Just me." Erwin opened his mouth to ask what he meant but he was cut off. "-Eld, Oluo, Gunther,...P-Petra." Levi paused again, "They're gone."

Erwin slowly took the radio away from his mouth until his arm rested at his side. He was shocked. Levi's squad consisted of some of his most trusted and talented soldiers and they were all gone? Just like that?

"Commander?" He heard Levi over the radio.

Shaking the thoughts from his head he lifted the radio to his mouth again. "Retreat, meet back at the camp." The radio clicked.

Erwin was worried about Levi. He knew how personally he would take the deaths of his comrades. Though Levi had a rough exterior Erwin knew that inside he cared very deeply about the people he allowed in his life. Levi had seen many people die, he wasn't new to death, but his closest friends all in the same day? The people that trusted him with their lives? Erwin was scared that this might be Levi's last straw. He sighed and waited for the last remaining soldier of the Levi squad to make it back to the camp.
