Everything was so sudden. I felt a huge force pulling me from the 3DMG wire and I feel from about 10 meters high. The fall was soften by a tree that mercilessly scratched my clothes and face. It wasn't long before my consciousness abandoned me and all I could feel were different grades of stinging pain that would leave me restless.

Is this how it ends? With a stupid accident caused by one of those shitty titans?

And then I think…perhaps I deserve it. Besides, the world has never been benevolent with me, why would it be different now? I feel regret and sorrow, not only for risking so much when I charged on that last titan, or for committing those crimes when I was younger, no. There are two things I couldn't possibly forgive myself for: first, for not finishing with those dipshit titans, as I wasn't able to make good use of the strength of my fallen comrades … and for not spending more time with Petra.

They say your whole life passes in front of your eyes right before you leave this world, and I'm sure it is true, but I only see the good things. The first time I steep a foot outside the walls and saw the outside world; the fresh air and the promising horizon, though it was packed with those god damn titans, gave me the impression of being full of great and beautiful things, offering much more than we have inside the walls.

Then, I clearly see the day I met Petra. At first, it seemed monotonous and boring. Erwin commanded me take care of a bunch of brats… new recruits in the Legion who were any different from all the useless and dumbass graduates from every year. But a young girl with light brown hair and amber eyes caught my attention not only for her looks, she had great potential too; her movements were fluent and smoother than the other idiots on her squad.

"Hey you!... you name!"

"Petra Ral, Sir!"

"Petra… very good, apparently you are the only one among these brats who isn't incompetent, but try to use gravity as an advantage, that way you won't have to use too much gas and won't be titan food on the next expedition"

That wasn't definitely the best introduction and I wasn't the kindest person at all, but I'll never forget the smile on her face right after I said that. I'd never seen anyone doing it with such sincerity, much less in the Scouting Legion. We see much dead and atrocities that we have forgotten how to smile. As for me, I had forgotten how to do it long ago, but since that moment Petra never stopped surprising me.

The truth is, I had forgotten so many things, sensations and feelings, that it appeared I was learning it all over again. She shower me a new world, to pause reality as she invited me to a place without despair, misery or suffering. Just being with her meant a huge joy in the middle of my dark thoughts.

The next thing I see is the memory of that evening; the first time something happened between us. I felt like I was doing the right thing and whatever happened, I wouldn't regret kissing her. She was nervous and her cheeks wrer warm when, right before she entered her room I took her arm and my hand wandered through it until it reached hers, entwining our fingers and feeling her skin with my fingertips, trying to memorize the sensation.

Now everything is blurry and little by little the images in front of my eyes get darker. The pain is continuous and I feel blood all around my body. I don't mind dying. I'm a soldier and I'm prepared for it, but god dammit, I don't want to leave this world without her memory!

I don't know how much time has passed, but I remember how it happened: the expedition, my fall, the vivid pain and memories. My body hurts so much I can barely breathe and I don't know if I will be able to open my eyes. Is this the end?

"Levi, do you hear me?

I feel a hand over my shoulder, shaking me softly and Petra's voice. Then I use all the strength I have to open my eyelids. How the hell did I make it to the infirmary? We were in the middle of the expedition outside the walls and I feel from a very high place, but now I am…

"I'm so happy you are awake! Does it hurt? Did you have a bad dream?"

"Petra… I'm… alive"

"You gave us a big scare when that titan pulled from your wire, but thanks to that tree the fall wasn't that hard. Still Commander Erwin said you would have to take a couple weeks off… either you like it or not…you are very wounded and don't put that angry face, it was an order" she looked at me for a moment, with those amazing eyes of hers and then she moves her hand to take a glass of water from the table, but I stop her "what's wrong?"

"Thank you"

"Why are you thanking me?"

"For everything. For teaching me so many things, for being you and be the one here with me. Thank you for being yourself, as you've always have been and I'm sure you always will"

And then I ignore the intense pain in my back and arms to get up and kiss her lips like many times before, feeling her softness contrasting with my rough lips. I feel pain in the corner of my lips and a light taste of blood, but right now all I care about is the person who's sweetly and deeply kissing me.
