Eren and Izan continued their leisurely talk while Mikasa took notes on Izan's Behavior. Izan took a closer look at Mikasa's and Eren's clothing and asked "You and Mikasa have the same clothes on, is it like a uniform". Eren was surprised by Izan's question since he didn't recognize the uniform and responded immediately "it's a Survey Corps uniform… you've never heard of the Survey Corps before?" "Actually no, I haven't ever heard about the Survey Corps"Izan said. Eren seemed even more surprised and asked "What about the Military Police Brigade or the Garrison". Izan didn't understand but still continued to answer the questions "nope, haven't heard of them either", Izan asked a question while he had a chance "so if you're part of a military group… how many titans have you killed". "Several" Eren answered, Izan spoke shortly after "I've killed sixty-two". Mikasa and Eren's eyes widened at what Izan said, Mikasa wrote down what Izan claimed on the clipboard while Eren questioned him further "sixty-two, how did you kill so many". Izan answered "that's for me to know and you to find out".
Eren and Mikasa left after receiving all the information they needed but they didn't get where Izan came from. They also had to report back to their squad leaders so their information could be analyzed. As they left the front entrance of the hospital they didn't notice that Izan was watching them, when they turned the corner and he could no longer see them, he turned his attention to the sky. The sky was a crimson red color and had some clouds that were dyed light pink from the horizon. Izan didn't see the sun but knew it was still there, it was behind the walls… just like the titans. Izan took a deep breath and lid down on the bed he slept in previously. He closed his eyes and thought "tomorrow is a new day with new discoveries".
The next day approached quicker than what Izan wanted. He was awoken to the sound of footsteps and speech. When he opened his eyes he noticed a red haired woman with square glasses. Izan heard mumbles and then noticed she had a needle in her right hand, when he awoken completely he heard her ask him if she could take a blood sample for examination. Izan sat up, he didn't understand why she needed the blood and was slightly angry because of the fact he was awoken for a blood sample, "first off, what do you need my blood for and second off, I don't know you, so you're getting no blood from me until you answer these questions". The woman said "Then I will have to take it by force", Izan looked threatened by her and said "okay, okay… just tell me who you are while you take it" Izan extended his arm out and she held his wrist while she pushed the needle in his forearm. "I am Squad leader Hanji but you can call me Hanji since you aren't from here". Izan looked at Hanji after looking away for a second; Izan asked "what do you mean I'm not from here". Hanji answered his question "Mikasa took notes on you while you were chatting with Eren, we searched for your file and found nothing. So we believe that you aren't from here… we also believe that you're a titan of some type because you hadn't even been touched by any titan on your travel, not even once". Izan stared at her brown eyes and said "That's not true" Izan unhooked the buckles on his armor and took it off, and then he took off his shirt. "Look at me… I'm hideous, now do you see why I didn't want people to see under my shirt, god damn it!" Izan yelled as Hanji covered her mouth, she saw bite marks extending from his left shoulder to the right side of his waist, he had several scars all over the areas that weren't covered by the bite marks.
Izan put his shirt back on and then his armor, Hanji looked startled by the amount of scars Izan had and asked "how did you heal from such wounds? The bite should have killed you". Izan was facing the wall and away from Hanji when he answered "I used Natural healing stimulants, bandages and booze for disinfectant as my healing supply". In that moment Izan remembered where he came from and Hanji asked what he was thinking about. "I just remembered where I came from…" Izan clenched his fists at his last sight of the town where he was born, Izan turned to face Hanji, she saw that he was crying and he said "I'll kill you all, even if it's on my last… breath". Hanji looked startled at first by Izan's words but then she thought of what Eren said when he had flashbacks of his dying mother. "What did you say… I mean, can you explain your reasoning behind those words" Hanji asked Izan but he was still subconsciously thinking. When Izan realized what he had said he thought Hanji went to get a guard but to his surprise she still sat there. "You want to know what I was thinking. I was thinking of the catastrophe that happened in my village… titans swarmed in the town center, devouring all the people, at the time I was twelve years old, That was five years ago."
Hanji leaned forward, like she was excited about something, then she asked "Can I have the details" Izan looked serious and said "it started with loud thumps and then screams of innocent people, I was still in my house when my father entered and told me to hide in the basement. My sword and armor was his at one point, since I remember seeing the armor on an armor stand that day but I think my father had the sword. The next thing was that the door closed and I heard three large thumps, I rushed up the stairs and through the door to see the sword on the ground and three titan corpses but no father. I ran, grabbed the sword and returned to my house, I went back into the basement and put on the armor. The armor was a bit too big then but it didn't matter to me… I just wanted to survive."
Hanji turned her head slightly to look out the window "what about your mother" Hanji asked. Izan responded to her request "I never met her; she was a bit of an alchemist and left when I was only one and a half years old. She returned to the house only to tell my father, she was leaving to go to a large city to the south, and she said she was sorry she couldn't take me with her, I'm surprised my father let her leave". Hanji asked another question "do you know her name". This made Izan think a moment before answering "yes… her name was Carla" Hanji then asked another question "what did she look like". Izan then remembered her face and said "she had brown eyes and black hair, why" Hanji looked at Izan's bright green eyes "there's a good chance that her journey was a success". Izan was excited to hear that and asked "where is she… I have to see her immediately". Hanji looked down and said with a sad tone "I'm sorry to tell you… that if she did, she's dead, I also have to tell you that if… if, she did that means Eren is your brother" Izan looked like he was going to explode he yelled out "WHAT!"
