After a rather awkward unpacking session with no talking whatsoever. Literally there was no talking, it was so awkward because Levi kept stealing glances at me, as did I. But, it wasn't just the 'oh, what are you doing now' glances, there was something off with them.

Anyway, after unpacking everyone was called into the living room. There were two love-seats mirroring each other. There was also an armchair at the head of the two love-seats. The arm chair facing a fire, which was lit and rather warming.

Back to the situation at hand, I sat on the love-seat, to the left of the armchair, next to Hanji. Petra and Erwin took the places across from me and Levi sat in the arm chair. Once everyone had settled, I found my courage and re-asked the question that everyone had dodged. "Okay, please would someone tell me what is going on?"

Hanji took my hand into hers and looked me dead in the eye. "Eren, Mikasa didn't kill herself."

My breath hitched and warm tears started to gather as the mention of her name brought all depression back. "W-What do you mean?"

"Well, Eren," Petra joined in this time. "I told you that you weren't alone because you aren't. I told you I lived with my brother and that we got bad business, and well, that business was MPBrigade Ltd. They killed my brother. Normally they make it look like suicide, but because I was actually in the house when it happened, I knew he was murdered." The usually cheerful teacher's breath hitched as the memories flashed across her mind.

"So, you're telling me that my sister's employers… k-killed her?"

"That's basically what we're saying, brat." Levi interjected, "It happened to us as well, our families were killed. For me it was my parents, for Erwin"-he motioned a thumb in said man's direction-"Like Petra, it was his brother. For Hanji… Well actually Hanji was their initial target."

Hanji took control of the conversation now, since it was going into her personal life. "Yeah, I used to work there whilst I was still in University. I climbed up the work ladder there pretty fast, and I became Nile Dok's assistant. Nile Dok being the CEO of the company. Well, you see, I was walking back from the bathroom to my desk, when I heard gunshots coming from his room. I started to panic, but instead of jumping to conclusions, I had to see what was actually happening. So, I made my way to the keyhole. There stood Nile, gun in hand, the tip smoking. In front of him was a body of a man sprawled out across the floor. I was absolutely terrified." Hanji took a moment to reduce her breathing speed, which had seemed to increase. "Well, Nile looked at his watch. From there he got out his phone and called me, probably to send me out for lunch, while he disposed of the body. Well, my phone started to ring and I was on the other side of the door. As soon as my cell was heard, it was too late, Dok had heard it too and was rushed to the door, flinging it open to see my crouched figure at keyhole height. He held up his gun and said 'I'm sorry, Hanji, you know too much.' But, as a reflex, I swept his feet from under him and ran for my life, quite literally."

My eyes grew large in realisation, Hanji was almost killed! "But… Didn't they try to hunt you down?"

"Well, yes, they did. But, we were all crafty and cunning and easily slipped under the radar eventually. But, all of this had happened years ago, we thought it had all stopped. But, clearly they are at it again, and like us, Eren. They will come after you. If my hunch is correct, they will be more persistent than when they went after us. Hell, I won't be surprised if they come after us again. Do you understand, Eren?"

I let out a breath I seemed to be holding in, giving a feeble nod. "Yes, you did it to stay safe. For both yourselves, and me. But, that doesn't explain why she wrote the note."

"For it to be believable that she killed herself, they force them to make suicide notes."

"B-but, why didn't they do that for you? You said he was going to kill you on the spot."

Hanji nodded, slight sorrow in her gaze. "Yes, that is the case for most, but because I had no family, no one would care if I disappeared, well, that was their theory anyway."

"How come they went for Mikasa?"

"Ah, about that. Your sister told she had seen something. I asked her to run away for her sake and that I would look after you. But, your sister being stubborn, she wouldn't leave you."

I wiped the wetness from my cheeks with my scratchy sleeves, "so it was my fault she died then?!"

Hanji pulled me into a cuddle. "Oh, Eren… It's no one's fault. Don't you dare think that it is!"

I decided not to press on the fact it was my fault; I didn't want to get Hanji angry by continuing the matter.

Erwin was the one to speak up this time, "So, Eren does that clear things up?"

"Hmmm… A little. But, what are we doing here? What about school? What about your jobs?"

"Oh, don't worry about that Eren." Hanji replied.

But that still didn't answer my question. It was blatantly obvious they wanted something it's just… What did they want? "Erm… What are we going to do now?"

Levi turned to me, which caught my attention. He looked me dead in the eyes.

"We're going to take them down."
