Yes there is still more to this book. This is the section Levi demanded about after his death and the rest of us Ackermans. If you don't care, thanks for your consideration, you may consider the book finished.

After Levi died, I added his flugel to the box. This became an Ackerman tradition. Any Ackerman can add to the box. The family, all three generations of us (the grandchildren were in their late 20s), went into mourning for a week. The week was slow, sad and one of the worst things to remember.

Two weeks after Levi's death, all of us survivors, but myself, resumed normal lives. Levi and I had settled down in Trost with Eren and Mikasa. Some days, their grandchildren (they didn't have all that they'd expect yet) would also be there. It was like living as a joint family - especially around Christmas. At this point, I had just began to realize that my old purpose - to keep Levi safe and happy, was fulfilled. And, the sooner I died, the sooner I'd see him.

That Friday, I'd taken a knife and held it to my chest on the bed. I looked around and paused. As I held the knife, almost in the old salute, I thought, die saluting what?

I held the knife, and heard the door open. Mikasa was worried about me - she could probably see my depression, so she managed to get a pair of house keys and kept me company on most evenings. Now or never! "Petra!" Do it! Mikasa walked up. "Petra!" She reached the room. "Petra, what are you doing?!" I could've just done it.

"Joining Levi!" Mikasa sat next to me.

"Why?!"

"I have no purpose here and I love him!"

"What was your purpose?"

"To keep Levi happy and safe."

"But what about his and your children. Don't you have a purpose towards them?" I did. I put down the knife.

"I do."

"Keep them safe." With that the scene ended. There were days I denied his death. Others, I was inconsolable. For the most part, I tried to keep a level head. After 67 years of living with somebody, you tend to forget everything they do, and when they're gone it's a surprise how many things are undone. You also forget things you don't need to do. Many mornings, I serve two cups of tea without realizing that there is no second person to drink it.

I wrote this book. I hope to have it published by the time I die. There were some sentences which took me a week as I'd cry after every word and have to call it a day - especially the chapters when I first met him in the old squad. Everybody helped, even old people from the squad came to help with some parts. I must thank everybody for their help, and thank Levi for being such a beautiful subject.

The years drifted by. Now I'm 91. Unfortunately, women tend to live longer than men. Also, I had spent less than a quarter of my life before dying (for the first time).

Erwin went on an expedition to explore the rest of the world. He's never been back. His children accompanied him.

Isabella works for the government and visits monthly. Her children both are on Erwin's expedition. I imagine that they all have a great time together.

Mikasa has her own grandchildren. They are all members of the survey corps, with its new goal of exploring the entire world. Mikasa and Eren's children are also in the corps, but now serve in back offices.

That is where the Ackermans are. Sorry if you found this chapter to be too focused on me, I just happened to be the easiest Ackerman to write about (Mikasa and Isabella didn't accept my offer of a chapter on them, and the paragraphs I had were too long for them). Hopefully this book has been fun and enlightening, and hopefully you understand the man I have loved for 73 years.
