You join the trainee crops, you have nothing valuable to hold onto anymore. But you still, want to fight for your life. Your parents got eaten by the titans and same with your friends. But it doesn't stop you having faith for yourself & your future. During that time period, you meet a lot of interesting people.. one that stood out was Levi Ackerman. He wasn't ideal, and you had no idea why he caught your eye. But for some reason you really wanted to try to connect with him. Friendship was enough, but it sure was hard to communicate with that freak.
