Intro...
How many days had it been?
"What are you here for, Erwin?"
He'd lost count.
"Oi… Erwin?"
But he had been counting.
"Tsche."
And he had lost count, coz he only had one arm… Wait. What?
"You've only got one hour…" she repeated. "Erwin?" Hanji sang.
He blinked. He was losing it, seriously. 'You've already lost it' his mind whispered back maliciously. He felt his eye twitch and clenched his fists… fist.
"What was that, Hanji?" he asked, his frustration contending his calm façade. The science enthusiast leaned forward, voice full of concern.
"I asked if you're ready to leave. The meeting starts in an hour. Are you sure you're up to this, Erwin? You've still got two more days till you're expected to be up and about."
He waved off her concern. Then waved it off again with his remaining arm, the one they would actually see.
"Its fine, lying in bed has done nothing but make me more restless. There's work that needs doing."
Hanji nodded, silently watching as the Commander looked around in mild confusion, tucking the folder he had picked up under his arm, then headed for the door where he hesitated before reaching for the handle. She heaved a great sigh when the door finally shut behind him.
"He tries to hide it but he's clearly suffering. You see it too right, Levi? There has to be something I can do to help him. Erwin would hate for the Corps to see him in such a state- not that many would actually notice. I have to restore him to a semblance of his old self. I just can't handle seeing him look so frustrated. Maybe I should just tail him and step in when he needs an extra hand-"
"Hanji."
"Hn?"
"Why the hell are you in my office?"
