Hanji slammed her now drained coffee mug down on the table with a sharp clack.
"Human sacrifice had been necessary. The capture of the two Titans was a giant leap for mankind! If we hadn't-"
"Twenty people."
Levi turned his head and glared with wide eyes. The were sort of drained and lackluster, but still so intense.
"Twenty people who died with purpose."
"Twenty people too many, shitty glasses!"
Outside, wind rattled the window panes.
Levi had never been one to waste life so easily. Before Hanji had gotten rid of her vengeance, she, at least, would throw her own life away before anyone else.
Science had changed her. The person he used to know, the woman who hated Titans and killed with the hatred of mankind in her eyes had become unreachable, almost. She wanted a Titan instead of twenty comrades.
Not to hot, irrational anger, but to cold, necessary science.
He was losing her.
Inspired by the previous capture of a titan mentioned in the OVA. I had to blare music to block out Matilda in the background to write this XD
