I was gonna name it Interlude but I never even found out where I was gonna put it😔
(It's Levi's pov btw.)
I didn't want to shoot the men and women running up the stairs. I never wanted to be this.
Upon hearing the sound of a gunshot, I initially thought I was hit. But if I was shot, why couldn't I feel any pain? My stomach churned and tears began falling down from my eyes.
If I wasn't shot, then...
I look behind me and the pain in my heart felt gut wrenching. If I was told just a week ago my best friend was shot in the head, I wouldn't believe it. No, not in a million years. Bertholdt's empty eyes stared back at mine, contrasting sharply against my own sorrowful gaze. The feeling of betrayal sank deep inside of me.
His gun was still raised in the air. He wouldn't kill another one of his friends, right? Or maybe, he just never cared...
And just like that, I knew who I had to shoot.

"Moblit, do you take Hange Zoe to be your lover, always and forever?"
"I do."
Wedding bells ringing, wine glasses clinking against another, for they were finally free. In a life without the chaos and tragedies of war, lost souls of our comrades,
Keep fighting, make it to the end, see the light at the end of your path, and you'll know what freedom is... Wait, why was I thinking about that just now?

HANGES POV
I knew I didn't have much time left.
Moblit, the man that you are...
Armin immediately rushed to my side as Levi held his gun to Bertholdt. "Hange-san! Don't worry, it's going to be okay, if I could just get someone to he-" I placed a hand on his heart. "A-Armin..." I swallowed the blood that rushed out of my throat, not wanting to worry anyone more. "When you j-joined the survey corps, you promised you'd give y- or... heart."
Armin's eyes widened. Despite the despair and anguish, I saw written all over his face, I saw hope. I might've not been able to do it, but Armin can.
I see where you stand now, Eren...
I didn't want to worry anyone; I had always been quite selfish. I wasn't ready to go yet, because I never got to tell him...
"I pass my role as section commander to you, Armin." I fought with what little strength I had. "Run, get out of here while you can." I barely managed to say the words, blood mixing with saliva and tears I couldn't feel fell from my eyes. Armin closed his eyes and shook his head, still not stopping me from finishing the final code.
And only then, was I really able to go to space. I wasn't an astronaut, and I certainly didn't come on a rocket ship to land here. Everything was bright, I could feel a crushing yet numbing feeling in my legs, pain in my stomach. Must be from the lack of oxygen, right? Maybe if I had come prepared, the void of space wouldn't have surrounded me and eaten up all the beautiful and bright stars. Soon enough, everything went black.
BRUEH I CRIED MAKING THIS
