It was a terrible trip. The group had been ambushed and too many had died. Even if only one had been killed it still would have been too many for him.

He walked along the corpses, taking account of the ones he recognized and silently mourning them all. Someone was missing though. She was always by his side as he did this, trying to comfort him.

While he was gazing down at the blank face of one of his fallen comrades, one of his subordinates walked by him. Levi spoke up.

"Where is Amaris?" he simply said, knelling down to close the eyelids of the fallen before him.

"I-I don't know, sir," the boy replied. Levi huffed as he stood.

"Well, when you see he, send her to me."

"Yes sir."

He was alone again. Levi walked, silently thanking those who had died for their sacrifice and gently closing their eyes if need be. He came across the next body, a woman. He was about to sigh until his eyes rested on her face. Those green eyes that were always so bright were now dull and blank. Her mouth that was usually in a smile around him now hung slightly agape. Her brown hair, long and beautiful-usually tied up when she worked-was now caked in blood. Her blood.

Levi remained composed as ever as he knelt down and closed her eyes. And here he remained. He didn't look at her, only straight ahead at the setting sun. No emotion passed over his face. No thought went through his mind. Until…

Something snapped in him. His eyes widened and he finally looked down at her.

"Amaris? Hey…wake up…" In his daze, he seemed to have forgotten that he had just closed her eyes. "This is no time or place for a nap. Wake up."

Levi refused to resister that the blood on them was hers. "Amaris. This is an order." His teeth clenched. He rarely ever ordered her around unless she was being very stubborn. Levi gripped her shoulders and shook them. "Wake up!"

By now he had attracted a few people unsure of what to do, having never seen him like this. A few knew he was always on the verge and now he had finally lost it.

In his frenzy, he picked up her body-slightly smaller than his-and held it, rocking back and forth. He had warned her about following him outside the walls. He had warned her about her decision about joining the Survey Corps. He had warned her about them getting too close to each other.

"No…This can't be…Wake up, Amaris! Wake up! No!"
