Commander Erwin is coming closer to your bed. His slow footsteps echo, then they stop right at your side.
You're laying on the single bed at the corner of the room. There are three others injured soldiers, one guy laid at your right side and two at the opposite. All, looking miserable.
Then there he stands, the commander let out a heavy sigh, grabbing the chair next to you then slowly pulling the curtain covering both of you in such small space so that he could be alone with you or at least feels like he is.
He can't stand the sigh of you lying down silently as he can hear your weak breathing, and pale face.
The silence in the room makes even his small voice sounds crystal clear. "What do I do now?".
He is staring at your closed eyes then slowly puts his hand on your head, brushing your hair gently.
No one will understand that he is now battling inside, he never wanted to feel things or become vulnerable or have weaknesses, it's the last thing he ever wanted to ever happen.
Time has frozen, he went silence for couple of minutes still looking at you before he finally standing up.
His body bends slowly, his hand sweetly caress your head before he gives you a kiss on your forehead. Its time for him to go.
As his footsteps getting away further from where you lay, he could feels that everything becomes heavier.
He starts asking why these kind of days exist... why this is happening? why are you even there?... until... he snaps.
Covering his face with his own hands. He could not think of anything right now but forces himself to go back to the meeting.
Meanwhile still in the room
"Ssh... He's coming" Hange revolts from Levi clutches. They were having an argument that just the two of them understand about what to tell to Erwin.
"I apologise..." Commander Erwin enters the room before suddenly the wall's bell ringing.
Horror suddenly fills the room. What again this time?
Everyone is getting ready, prepare for the worst. The news comes in. Wall Rose has been breached.
