What are we all doing here anyway, when some die ruthlessly, and others whither away behind the safety of the walls? I hope all their lost lives actually account to anything we're doing in the Scout Regiment.
I lift my head and breathe in a shuddering breath, projecting all the pieces of my bravery to the beast Titan staring us down with the crushed rocks sitting precariously in his hand.
"Are you ready?" I can tell my own voice sounds so distant as Levi stares at the Titan too, his mind drifting somewhere far away.
His eyes meet mine and I feel the last shred of my confidence whither.
And today, of all days I see it in his eyes: the fear, the stress, the undying determination, and the void in his straining faith.
And my chest squeezes at the sight and I can't stop my eyes watering, tears threatening to spill over.
I can't die. No, he's gone through too much for that to happen.
If I have anything left to fight for, it's him. And he fights for humanity who stands behind him.
He'll fight to his last breath and I'll fight to mine.
