And she was a very dumb actress who never got any scene right. Huh, a horror movie, she said? I bet that would turn into a comedy, with that air - head bimbo character and all. Oh, and let's not forget that that man's the director. Now, I'm positive that with all his explosions and sunset, it is bound to turn into a cheesy, action flick full of one liners and corny theme songs,...

Levi thought grimly that evening while preparing his dinner. His mom called him a while ago, inviting him to watch Swan Lake with her and his uncle Kenny this coming Saturday. Now, mommy Kuchel's perfectly aware that Levi's not even a bit interested in ballet, let alone love stories, but she really liked the theatre, plus she haven't seen her son since Christmas. And he's awfully busy with schoolwork. So, she wanted this to be the opportunity to be with him again. Levi could never refuse his mother, especially since he's aware that his mother aspired to be a dancer in her younger years, but with her condition and weak body, she just focused on the music instead, and she became an excellent violin and piano tutor. His eccentric uncle who just came from England missed him, too. So, he agreed to stomach two full hours of ballet dancing and giddy girls in tutus just to see him again after three years. His mom said it would be perfect, and they would have dinner in this fancy french restaurant afterwards. And, she also said that she invited the Concertmaster of the Orchestra, which would be playing that evening. Said it was her former student or something, but he entirely forgot about that part.

At least it would be better than Hange's highly anticipated horror flick of the year. Except that, yeah, uncle Kenny's right, I would sit through that very feminine show with the giddy tutus or whatever. Tch, what did I do to deserve this?

And he just realised that uncle Kenny wasn't exactly fond of him before. He remembered very well how he was fuckingly eager to slit his throat. Ah, no, not this uncle Kenny. That uncle Kenny. Hange wasn't even fond of horror movies to begin with. What happened with experimenting on Titans to find out what their greatest weaknesses are?

Well, I guess they wouldn't remember.

But, I remember every single thing.

His telephone rang. At this late hour? He ran to the living room and answered the call.

"Hey, Levi."

"Why are you still awake, brat?"

"Weeelll, I'm just wondering if I could play again in your house tomorrow?"

Tch, and I just practically cleaned the whole, damn place. "No, another time."

"Oh, but you know, Mikasa and I, we got this mighty creature, and he could scare away them cats with one single howl!"

"Go to sleep, Eren."

"But, Hannes is a good, uh, genteel man,..."

"And don't go naming every pet you have after your uncle. And it's gentleman, you moron."

"Oh! That reminds me, Mikasa is thinking of a name of her brand new cat. Oh, it's mighty grumpy and it always makes this sound, maybe we should call him Levi - "

Levi hung the phone. Ugh, as if Eren the Titan - shifter isn't annoying enough, and now, he's always being pestered with a brattier one. And his creepy sister Mikasa who seemed to remember a centuries - old grudge she have against him. Oh, why did Grisha and Carla have to get his phone number? And why did he agree?!

"Tch." he went back to the dining room, sat on a chair and ate his food, thinking about what would happen on Saturday. Oh well, maybe it would turn out to be another ordinary day in his ordinary existence.

******

Except that, on this particular evening, his life would finally make a complete turn. It's as if the one who put him in this state was finally showing him the one and only purpose why his memories of his past life were still intact.
