Levi

My head snaps up to see a disheveled Ryder bursting through my office door, panting as if he's run a marathon.

"What the fuck, nurse?"

Ryder places his hands on his knees and leans over, heaving. "It's Xander. Fuck, Levi, he's not okay."

"What's wrong with him?" I ask, standing up. "Is he hurt?"

Ryder shakes his head. "He's completely convinced his brother's alive."

I blink. "What? Where is he? I need to see him."

Ryder leaves the office and tugs in a reluctant Xander.

"Where is this place?" He asks, reaching for his pockets and realizing there's nothing in there besides his pager. "Where's my brother? Why are you wearing a doctor's coat? You haven't even gotten a proper college diploma."

"I'm wearing this coat because I am a doctor. Are you pranking us? You're worrying Ryder big time." I step forward and Xander has me in a chokehold in an instant.

"W-What the fuck is going on? You're not my— this isn't right. H-He's not my Ryder—" Xander sputters, tightening his grip on me. "Are you simulations created by the Russians? Have I been caught?"

Ryder tugs at his hair, pulling strand out. "Xander, please let Levi go. He only wants to help you. I am your Ryder. There's no such thing as simulated people. And why the fuck would any Russians be after you?"

"You look so much and sound so much like my boyfriend..." Xander lets go of me. "This... this isn't right. Where... where's the prinz? Did you two take him?"

"Why are you speaking German?" I question.

Ryder walks up to Xander and takes his hands. "Xander, please, you need to calm down. You're not making any sense."

Xander looks at Ryder's hands. "Your hands don't feel the same."

Ryder glances at me, his eyes begging for answers.

"It's your boy toy. Nurse King, Ryder's the same. It's you who's being different."

"Boy toy? He's my boyfriend! We have rings! W-Where's my ring?!" He starts to feel around his neck. "Ryder, do you have yours?"

Ryder grabs Xander's hands again. "Xan, we never got any rings. You can barely call me your boyfriend."

"That's impossible. I love you. We live together in HQ. We go on missions together. Do you love me?" Xander looks into Ryder's eyes hopelessly.

Ryder's eyes widen and he drops Xander's hands. "You-you love me?"

"Yes! What is going on? You aren't even acting properly. You're supposed to kiss me and say 'I love you too, Xan', but you're not. Where's the prinz? Where is Eren Jaeger?"

Ryder blinks, glancing at me again. "Eren's in his room, where he always is."

"What do you mean, always? He has college—"

"Eren goes to college?!" I ask, my chest tightening.

"Yes, Levi. What are you on? He's a photography major. You've been to his university." Xander holds Ryder close despite acting confused by him.

University.

"Would you like to see Eren?" I ask.

"That would probably help calm him down." Ryder agrees. "Xan, you didn't take anything, right?"
