    Summary

    'He hears him say “Do not tell a soul, Levi” and wants to laugh. Tell anyone? To what end? So that others have the images that Levi now has running through his head; of grabbing hands and harness marks, hard words and soft lips, of lies upon lies upon lies in a desperate attempt to get to the truth?'

    Levi begins to notice Erwin leaving HQ alone and not returning until the dead of night.

    Slow-burn, pre-show Eruri.

    Summary

    "Levi misses Erwin in the margin between sleeping and waking. He thinks about Erwin when he steps out of a hot bath into cold air. He imagines Erwin’s new life, his new vocation, his new family, when the seasons change, or when he blows the candles out, or now, as the sun sets. The only space he does so is a space of a threshold. It does not feel good or bad. It does not feel happy or sad. Levi realises now, however, that this is not the same as it feeling nothing."

    Six years after the War ends and they part ways, Levi finds himself at Erwin's door again.

    Summary

    The villagers come to the end of the street and soon they see what the blond-haired boy and his two friends had seen earlier that morning: the familiar, teal chocolate shop, boarded up and closed. Instead, tacked across the wooden panels covering the large, glass window, is a new sign.

    The sign is in neat, looped cursive.

    On it, the writing says: ACKERMAN’S TEA SHOP.

    Summary

    “Do I have to go back?” Levi asks.
    “Do you want to?” Erwin reaches across the table and takes his hand, squeezing it lightly.
    Levi thinks of his little house on the square, and the blossom in the park, he thinks about sharing ice cream with the kids on the sea front, drinking tea with Onyankopon in the afternoon. He thinks of the way Erwin’s eyes light up when he smiles, and all the wonders those eyes never had a chance to see.  
    “Yes,” Levi says slowly, “I think I do. Just for a little while longer.”

     

    Levi makes a promise to live his life after the war.
