Izan was walking around the room with his hands on his temples. He was upset with not just the fact that his mother was dead… but the fact that she had left his father to start another family with Eren's father. Hanji asked Izan how he was coping with the new found information. Izan looked at her with angry eyes and yelled "do I look like I'm coping well; I have the feelings to kill, hug, and yell at Eren all at the same time!" Izan paced some more before sitting on the bed in the corner of the room and Hanji said "you can leave the hospital; I don't see a reason for you to stay here since you're not injured in any possible way". Izan's dark emotions broke; happiness and gratitude appeared on his face. Izan asked Hanji "Can I see Eren then? Since I'm not confined to this room anymore"
"I don't see why not. You won't have a place to sleep tonight but we're trying to organize something for tomorrow" Hanji said with pride. Izan was half way out the door and asked "what do you mean by we're trying to organize something for tomorrow" Hanji walked by and said "you'll see tomorrow". Izan followed her until he found the front door and asked "uh… Hanji can you show me where Eren is", Hanji wasn't overly excited to escort Izan to Eren but she said "sure, but it's on you to find your way back". Izan followed Hanji for what seemed to be hours. Eventually they met two soldiers with the Survey Corps symbol on their jackets. They let Hanji through but wouldn't let Izan past; Hanji noticed and told the guards that Izan was with her. The guards stood out of the way and let Izan enter the archway. There were banners on the building with the Survey Corps symbols on them and that led Izan to the conclusion that this was their headquarters.
Izan was led through a door and then up three sets of stairs there was a sign at the top of the stairs saying 'living quarters' and then a list beneath the sign was a list with room numbers and names it said a bunch of names he didn't recognize, until he saw room nine. 'Room nine: Mikasa Ackerman, Eren Yaeger and Armin Arlert. Izan didn't know the third person, but he didn't care. Izan counted the numbers on the doors until it said nine. Izan knocked on the door, but didn't hear movement on the inside. So he knocked again, put his ear to the door and heard whispering. Izan said "open up", but heard no answer so he continued to knock on the door. Eventually Izan got tired of knocking and said "Open up or else". Izan still received no answer and took a step back. Izan took one heavy step forward, lifted his leg and kicked the door off its hinges causing all three people on the inside to become silent. The people on the inside saw a dark figure standing in the shadow. The dark figure walked into the room and said "next time… open the door".
Eren was sitting on the bed farthest to the entrance. When Izan entered the room Eren called out "hey, Izan what are you doing here". Izan looked at Mikasa and a blond boy who Izan presumed to be Armin and pointed to the doorway. Mikasa and the boy left through the doorway then Izan picked up the door and locked it in its frame. Izan spoke in a low voice "I was cleared to be here to speak to you about something". Eren didn't understand and asked "okay, why are we talking so low?" that led to Izan's response "I don't want either of them hearing what I have to say" Eren looked confused and said "okay spit it out then". "What was your mother's name, was it Carla? If so did she have black hair and… and brown eyes" Eren looked slightly disturbed by the fact that Izan knew his mother's name and her description "Yes that's who she was… did you know her?" Izan was then standing face against a wall and yelled "yes… she was my mother first!"
Izan banged his forehead against the wall and slid down to a crouched position. On the wall was a blood trail leading down to Izan's face, Izan hit his fists against the wall seven times and on the third hit Mikasa and Armin, re-entered the room thinking that Izan was trying to hit Eren. But their assumptions were wrong when they saw the blood trail leading down the wall; saw Izan hitting the wall with tears pouring from his eyes. Mikasa then went to pick up Izan but he resisted and stayed in his crouched position.
Soon after the Lance Corporal Levi appeared through the empty doorway and asked "what is happening here, Yeager explain the noise that can be heard from meeting halls three floors down". He didn't know Izan was in the room because Mikasa and Armin were blocking the bloodstain and Izan from sight. Eren tried to think of a reasonable explanation "I… uh…" but he was cut off by Izan who stood up, walked around Mikasa and Armin and said "I'll explain… I came here to get some answers from Eren as you can see I knocked the door down that was my fault because I lost my patience and…" Izan was cut off by Levi who said "yes I see that, what about the blood and the banging" Levi pointed to the wall where a trail of blood could be seen. Izan explained further "I was upset by a tragic answer and expressed myself physically" Izan pointed to the bleeding cut above his right eye brow. Levi looked higher and then asked "am I aloud to know what the tragic answer was?" Izan understood immediately, what he really meant was "tell me the answer or I report this".
Izan took a deep breath and told Levi "Eren is my brother… and my… our mother died in the Yaeger home". Levi looked at the resemblance between them "I do see some resemblance between you two. Facial structure is almost identical, but your hair and eye colors are different" Izan swallowed and said "We had different fathers… that's why we don't look so much alike. Also she left when I was one and a half; I was raised by my father alone". Levi knew he was talking about his mother. Levi turned around and left the room on his way out he said "Its Izan right… leave the grounds by midnight, if you don't want to be caught. Sleep outside the main gate if you must. Get as much sleep as possible; you'll need it for tomorrow" Izan didn't know what the big deal about tomorrow would be, but he wanted to be ready for it, so he left immediately and went to an alleyway in between two buildings across the main gateway to the Survey Corps headquarters. Then it was sunset and he didn't take long to fall asleep.
