Levi's Pov
"Enter" is the sound that shakes me from the dark shark infested pit that was my thoughts at this point. I take a steadying breath and reach for the handle for once in my life feeling out of my depth and it is not one I am enjoying. Erwin looks up as I enter his office his face shifts quickly from professional to confused and he says "Oh Levi its you, I wasn't expecting to see you. What wrong?" I don't ask him how he knows something is wrong I am pretty sure that my face is saying everything for me and so I steel myself for what is to come
"Erwin, Eren Jaeger tried to kill himself about an hour ago I found him..." I trailed off running a hand down my face while even Erwin Smith who seemed as if he always know what was going on was looking at me with an expression I thought I would never see on his face one of unpleasant surprise on his face. "I would like permission to investigate the background of this event to figure out what caused this. We both know this is not the type of person Eren is so something must be going on that we missed. Let me figure it out Erwin. I failed Eren and I need to fix that." I finished off my words in a rush my guilt making them stumble over each other in an effort to leave my mouth. Erwin looks at me as though he can guess my thoughts and looks me straight in the eyes as he says "Levi, I have been told recently by a member of the corps that they overheard a group recruits talking about attacking Eren as he made his way to the stables. The person said that this did not sound like the first time this conversation had taken place. I only heard this yesterday and had planned on discussing it with you and Hanji today. In light of today's events this conversation takes a more sinister aspect. Armin Arlett was the recruit who came to me so I know the information is valid I am ordering you to get to the bottom of this and bring the truth of these events to light so appropriate action can be taken. Your dismissed!" I felt a great relief that Erwin was allowing me to get to the bottom of events and so I gave a salute and turned to the door to leave my thoughts already turning to Arlett and finding him to discuss what he overheard. The blonde was almost as smart as Erwin and so I would ask his opinion on this and about the way things in corps have been when I am not there as what I see and what he sees will be very different as I am an officer an recruits are wary of me not so with Arlett. I headed back down the corridor to the mess hall in my search finding the mushroom haired soldier having breakfast with the other soldiers. I quickly make my presence known to the soldiers and get Arletts attention discreetly getting him to follow me to my office.
When we reach the office I close the door and we both take a seat. I prepare myself for a long and very unpleasant conversation with the boy in front of me as he is not just someone who knows something he is someone who cares about Eren like I do. I have to remind myself that this person grew up with Eren and will know his personality and behaviours better than I do and will be of great help in my investigation and in helping Eren recover and get back on his feet. I raise my eyes to meet blue sapphire like eyes with the same cold intelligence gleaming in them that is familiar to me form Erwin's gaze and so I take a breath and start
" So recruit Arlett...
