Titans Rule, a Levi Ackerman x Fem OC story.

(17) Identity.

"Have you had a change of heart yet?" Hange came over to us with an expectant look on their face. 

Levi escorted the priest to the building where Hange and the others were, and I followed them there. The priest appeared solemn but stubbornly remained quiet. 

Hange took a short, impatient breath. "We don't have time for this! You know, don't you? Will you talk, or won't you? Make up your mind already!" they raged, their face close to his, spit flying out of their mouth and onto him.

"I cannot say anything," the priest mumbled in shame, his gaze fixated on the ground. 

"Well, thanks for nothing!" Hange threw their hands up in frustration. 

"It's too great a decision for a single person to make. The Order of the Walls is too great. However, I can inform you of a name, which, under their sacred will, we were instructed to monitor." 

Hange stopped in their tracks. "Monitor?" 

"That person joined the Scout Regiment as of this year. Their name is..." 

Someone interrupted the priest, announcing themself as they entered. "Excuse me! 104th Cadet Corps! Sasha Brauss!"

It was Sasha, another of my favourite characters. I'd only seen her from afar and never had the chance to meet her. Whenever I saw her in the canteen, she was stuffing her face, and I didn't want to interrupt. 

"It's her," Eren drawled out, his eyes wide with realisation. I perked up. Now, I was curious. Who could he possibly be talking about? 

"Who?" Hange rightfully questioned. 

"Uh, this is for you, Section Commander." Sasha nervously offered Hange a scroll of paper, but her attempt went unnoticed as the tense discussion persisted. 

"You must find her at once. Only she may know truths that we cannot even perceive. And that is all the information I can share," he turned to look at me. My words from before on the wagon must have helped bring him to this point. He swivelled back around to Eren. "The rest I leave in your hands."

"If she's with the 104th, then she's deep in the front lines right now!" Hange exclaimed, their arms flapping in the air. 

"Let's go! We need to hurry!" Eren started to sprint, not looking where he was going. 

"Wait!" Hange called out, causing Eren to stop mid-stride and bump into poor Sasha, who had been trying to deliver this message the whole time. The impact sent her crashing to the floor. I hurried over to her, helped her up from the ground, and handed the scroll back to her. 

"Thank you," she thanked me in a soft voice, brushing off the dirt that had collected on her knees. 

"Sasha?" Eren finally acknowledged Sasha's existence; all it took was for him to crash into her. 

"Yeah, she's been here for a little while now. Maybe you would have noticed if you guys hadn't ignored her," I snapped. I didn't know what had come over me. I guess I saw my past self in her, who would fade into the background of any social event. 

"I'm sorry, Sasha," Eren apologised quickly, realising how much of a dick he was being. Sasha gave him a small smile, and all was forgiven. 

Next, Mikasa asked a question. "What are you doing here?"

Sasha composed herself, clenching the scroll into her chest. "Upon my arrival, I gave my report to the Commander. Afterwards, I was entrusted to deliver this message to the Section Commander!" Bowing her head, Sasha held out the scroll for Hange.
