A/N: It's 12:00 AM. I'm listening to the piano cover of Reluctant Heroes, and I'm an emotional mess. Enjoy.

You, my ray of sunshine…
You're gone.
Gone forever.
Levi Ackerman always thought himself a strong man. Never yielding, never crying, never showing any sign of grief.
But as he sat in his room, crying, his walls came down; so did everything else in his world.
Their smiles…
Never again…
Damn, you…
He had never fully appreciated their smiles. Like a pinpoint of light in the consuming dark, pulling him out.
Her smile was the best.
The bright mop of orange hair, the warm amber eyes… haunted him in his memory.
Why did you leave me…?
No, why did they take you from me?
No… why wasn't I strong enough to save you?
He dug the heels of his palms into his bloodshot eyes, stifling a howl.
Her dull, lackluster eyes… no, no. They were supposed to be bright, full of light and love.
Heichou!
Her sweet, high clairvoyant voice rang in his ears. Her laugh echoed in the empty reserves of his mind.
How many had he lost? Too many souls to count…
Farlan, Isabel… Petra, Ouro, Eld, and Gunther….
Who else, next?
