Porco looks momentarily annoyed at the interruption, while you quickly tug the covers up to your chin, trying to maintain your modesty.
„We've got things to discuss." Levi says, a hint of impatience in his voice.
Porco lets out a huff, clearly disgruntled by the intrusion. „Can't it wait?", he says gruffly, his eyes narrowing at Levi. He doesn't make any attempt to move from his position above you , his body still half-covering yours.

Levi continues to ignore Porco's grumbling, his attention focused on you. His voice carries a sense of urgency as he informs you, „Hange wants to see you. It's apparently important, something she needs to discuss with you. Now."

...

As Hange mentions, you are instructed to head to the old Survey Corps headquarters, accompanied by Levi's squad. Until the situation with the Military Police and Porco's fate is decided, you must go to the Scouts' quarters.

Hange highlights that she has great trust in you, especially considering Levi's trust in you. Therefore, your handcuffs are removed. Moreover, Hange hopes that her decision is correct. You, still processing the information and the situation, respond with a nod. „Okay." You say quietly, your voice steady despite the anxiety churning in your stomach. „I understand. I won't let your trust or Levi's faith in me be misplaced."

Porco watches the exchange between you and Hange. You turn to look at Porco. You understand what he's thinking without him having to say a word, the connection you are formed in the past few days making your thoughts eerily in sync. You give him a small, comforting smile, silently promising that things will be alright.

Levi breaks the silent exchange between you, his voice cutting through the tense atmosphere. „Let's get moving.", he says, his tone brisk and business-like. „The earlier we get going, the faster we can sort this out."

...

Note: Everyone from Levi's Squad is alive

At the old headquarters

The old headquarters of the Survey Corps stands before them, its worn-down exterior starkly contrasted with the determination in the air. Levi's squad, along with you and Porco, arrive at the location, their expressions a mixture of tension and seriousness. The building is silent, the only sounds coming from the faint creaking of the old wood and the shuffling of footsteps as they enter. An air of melancholy and nostalgia hangs over the place, the remnants of past victories and tragedies mingling in the dusty air. Levi leads the group through the building, his gaze alert and observant. It's clear that the memories of this place weigh heavily on him, his eyes occasionally lingering on parts of the building that hold special significance.

Porco follows behind, his mind elsewhere. His eyes dart around the place, taking in every detail, yet his thoughts remain fixed on you. He glances at you from time to time, silently reassuring himself that you are still there, still within his sight. You can feel Porco's gaze on you occasionally, and you offer him small, discreet smiles or nods in return. Your attention is also divided, taking in their surroundings and silently steeling yourself for what's to come.

Levi turns to his squad, his voice brisk and authoritative. „Everyone, start cleaning up this place. It's looking a bit worse for wear." The members of his squad immediately set about their task, grabbing brooms and dustpans and getting to work.
Levi then turns his attention to you, his eyes meeting yours. „Let us talk!"
Your heart quicken, already sensing that this discussion is going to be serious. You nod, „Sure." You respond, your voice steady despite the flutter of nerves in your stomach.
Levi turns to Porco, „What are you still standing around for? Cleaning applies to everyone." Porco, who had been discreetly eavesdropping, lets out an inward groan. The idea of cleaning is not something he's fond of, but Levi's tone leaves no room for argument.
„Yeah, yeah, I got it.", he grumbles, reluctantly picking up a broom from the pile of cleaning supplies. You have to suppress a small smile at Porco's disgruntled expression. You are secretly amused by the sight of him, a feared warrior, being forced into manual labor.

As Porco starts to sweep the floor, he shoots a resentful glance at you, silently blaming you for his current predicament. Your amused expression irks him even further, and he mutters under his breath, „Glad you find this amusing." You chuckle softly, unable to hide the small, impish grin playing on your lips. „Oh, come on." You say, your voice low so only he can hear. „It's kind of funny seeing the mighty Porco Galliard reduced to sweeping floors." And with that you go away with Levi, who stands at the door and waits impatiently. Porco grumbles under his breath as you leave with Levi. He's left with a mixture of indignation, irritation, and a hint of amusement. The thought of you finding his predicament humorous somehow makes it even more irksome, but he can't help the smallest of smiles tugging at the corners of his lips.

Levi motions for you to join him in another room.
You follow him, the seriousness of the situation weighing on your mind. „What is it, Captain?"
