"I'm sorry Levi."
"Are you still going on about that? Gosh."
"I'm sorry for taking "Eren" away from you...are you upset?"
"I'm not upset. It's not the first time we've lost a loved one. And unlike "you" and me, who are continuously reincarnated, we never get to meet other people again in different "lives". That's how it's always been, so I'm not upset. I'm just…really sad. Sad that…"Eren" left me…without me even knowing it."
It's not as if "you" and I were definitely lovers in every "life". We've each had our own families and our own loved ones, who we remember fondly, even after all these millennia…but we will never get to see them again. Regardless of our relationship, regardless of what sort of life we led, only one thing was always absolutely certain; that I would meet "you" in each "life". This was abruptly overturned in this "life", because "Eren" was here, but he wasn't "you". What should have been natural and absolute was suddenly taken away from me…And eventually, the only absolute thing that I could cling onto, was that I would be by "Eren's" side when he dies on the battlefield. That was all that I could do for him, and that was all that he wanted; to fight for the future and then die in the arms of the one he loves. But, yet again, that has been taken away from me.
Even so, I will fight.
I will fight.
Because that's all that us humans can do in this world. Even for "Eren", who possessed such a power, it was all that he could do; fight, fight, and continue to fight. But if this battle can become our last, then that also means the end of this world as we know it, and finally we can stop fighting.
"Let's go eat. You said yesterday that you'd rather eat with everyone today, right?"
"Yeah, I'd feel rude if Levi and I ate in bed even on a day like this."
"Hah? What are you talking about? Unlike in the past, breakfast in bed isn't considered a luxury in this "life"."
"Yeah yeah, I know. But that reminds me, remember when I was a noble's son and you were a hitman? We ate breakfast in bed every day, didn't we?"
"Stop wasting time talking about such silly things. C'mon, lean over so I can move you to the wheelchair."
"Okay, thanks Lev-…"Corporal Levi"."
