-Libra's POV-

"Be quiet! You'll wake her up!"

"What? You're the one yelling!"

"Shut up, Jaeger!"

"She waking up."

I heard voices.

That's strange... I was alone, wasn't I? Except for my music...

Frightened that my music might be gone, just as my solitude, I tried to bring the feeling back into my arms. Surely enough, there was the comforting feeling of a heavy bag worn over my shoulders, the rough metal of the goggles I never used but always kept secured to my head, and the multiple paper cuts I received from the bundle of papers safe within my arms.

I sighed in relief, and opened my eyes, half-expecting the rest of the world to be the same, that the voices I'd heard were simply figments of my imagination- hallucinations that were caused by the deep loneliness I'd suffered, but never admitted to.

Sadly, that was not the case.

It was as if I were in an entirely other world- the room I was in was larger than any of the rooms back at the observatory, and 4 people stood before me- 3 seeming to be my age, and the other seeming to be an adult. Of course, I'm no expert at judging ages, so I can't be too sure.

"Sorry, we must've been too loud. We woke you up, didn't we? And at night, too! But now that you're awake, don't go back to sleep!" The woman told me.

"I'm Hange Zoe, these two boys next to me are Jean Kirschtein and Eren Jaeger, and the girl next to Eren is Mikasa Ackerman. Why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself, too?"

I sat up in the bed, instantly missing the comfort of the white pillow, and the ability to stare up at the ceiling without needing to crane my neck.

"It's nice to meet you. My name is Libra Altair."

I forced a smile, though all I really wanted to do was get out of there. I had been at the observatory for a reason- a very important one at that, and I don't appreciate their having taken me away.

The woman quickly sprung up from the chair she had been sitting in, causing the two boys to tip backwards in their chairs, and then fall to the floor. The girl, however, maintained her stance.

"I knew it! I just knew it! As soon as I saw you, I knew you were the girl that I'd heard of! You're Nova's adorable little sister, now aren't you!?"

Nova? She knows him? Little sister? We're not related! Ah, but he may have lied to them. I'll have to clean up after his mess again..

"I'm not Nova's blood-related sister," Wait, she's seen Nova, "but you say you've seen Nova? How long ago?"

"Ahem!"

I turned to the source of the voice, which was the boy with two-toned hair... Jean!

"Yes?" Hange asked him, irritation evident in her voice.

"Let's stop with all this serious talk. She's awake now, so we oughtta feed her, right?" Eren spoke.

"I'll go get her some soup and bread." Mikasa offered, and pulled Eren with her by the arm.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Jean called after the two, and left with them.

Which left Hange and myself..

"In answer to your question earlier, he passed by here a few days ago, when the Titans nearly pushed us back to our innermost wall. He was rather impressive-he came out of nowhere, and then suddenly, all the Titans were lying on the floor, decomposing! Then he left just as quickly as he'd arrived! I'm hoping he can help us defeat the rest of the Titans."

"Oh, so Nova came here to help you. That was very considerate of him, given his personality."

"Hm? Is he usually not like that?"

"No, no, he's always fighting -Titans or not, it's just.. Nova isn't exactly the most helpful of people. At least not to strangers. It's rather odd for him to have such a sudden personality change... unless he's been affected as well!"

"Affected? By what, might I ask?"

"Ah! Nothing, nothing! It won't affect any normal people, so everyone inside the walls has nothing to worry about. Though, I'd best go after Nova if he's caught it.."

"We brought dinner!" A new voice chimed. I turned to the door, to face two new faces- one boy and one girl. The three from before weren't here this time.

The boy had a shaved head, and had a build meant for speed. The girl had her hair tied up into a ponytail, and was looking longingly at the food as the boy handed me the tray.

I traced her gaze to the bread, and, without a second thought, handed it over to her.

"Here, you want it, right? I'm not all that hungry, anyways."

I smiled kindly at her, and her mouth broke into a huge grin. She tackled me, at the same time grabbing the bread, and it took quite a bit of balancing and concentration skills to keep the soup from spilling.

"You're an angel! No, a goddess!"

"I wouldn't go so far!" I laughed.

The people inside the walls were all rather different, they all had distinct personalities so far. But, none of them seem to be as extreme as the people outside the walls. Not that I've ever met with anyone other than Nova face-to-face. I just hear about them from the stars, and I assume they know about me, too.

I caught a tint of red on the boy's cheeks before he dashed out of the room. Maybe he had a fever? In that case, he shouldn't have bothered getting me food!

The girl let go of me and ran out the room, the bread in her mouth, and managed to say, "My name's Sasha! I hope I'll see you again!"

I quickly replied, "I'm Libra! It was nice meeting you!"

She nodded, and ran after the boy.

I ate the soup, and since Hange had fallen asleep in her chair, I got out of the bed, moving her to where I'd been, and reorganized my things. I managed to fit the papers I'd been holding in my arms into my bag (thanks to certain skills I've acquired).

After doing all this, I felt fidgety, so I decided to give myself an excursion of the city here.

I opened the window that was located above the bed's headboard, and stepped through it, into the night air.

I used another one of my skills to create steps out of purple, glowing circles with certain forms of encryption written on them. I suppose you could call it a Magick Circle.

Anyways, I ran across the Magick Circles that I created at my will, humming multiple songs as I took in the sights to be seen inside the walls. The houses here were all bunched together, the streets very narrow, and there were fewer open areas than I thought there'd be.

I continued inspecting the city until the rays of sunlight were visible once again, signalling that it was time for me to go back. After all, it simply wouldn't do to leave without saying goodbye, now would it?
