Levi

We were sent to Wall Rose.

Watching from the top of the Wall.

Standing in formation.

Scouts were passing through, heading outside.

"Look, that's Captain Mikey leading his squad!" someone said.

Mikey?

I thought his name was Mike.

Weird name.

Who would want to be a captain?

It's a dumb job.

The scouts moved out.

The captain smelled the air.

That was... strange.

Then—

We got back to work.

⸻

Then—Wall Sina.

It was different.

Broken.

A hole.

Titans—everywhere.

Left. Right. Moving in.

We were ordered to attack.

I was scared.

Anyone who said they weren't was a liar.

I glanced at Eren.

He smirked.

Like he was ready.

⸻

Orders came.

I was sent right.

Mikasa was sent left.

She almost refused to go.

Excuses.

Trying to stay near Eren.

Eren and Armin—different routes.

I gripped my blades.

Please.

Be safe.

All of you.

⸻

3DMG engaged.

I flew over the rooftops.

Titans below me.

First kill.

Then another.

Then another.

I was doing it.

I was killing them.

It wasn't easy.

But it was possible.

For the first time, I felt—

Confidence.

Belief.

In myself.

In them.

I had never believed in anything before.

Because everyone I ever believed in died.

But now—

I was determined.

⸻

Then—

A feeling.

Pit in my stomach.

Pain.

Something wrong.
