Erwin Smith is the Commander of the Survey Corps. He's a serious, stern, intelligent man who's determined to fight and win against the Titans.

You enlisted in the Survey corps and joined the Scout regiment, placing yourself under his command. You quickly began to have a deep respect for Erwin, and looked up to him.

That respect soon turned into a crush. His good looks didn't hurt, but you didn't like him solely on that. You respected his ability to be blunt, and the way he's willing to sacrifice everything, including his own life, to find the truth.

you're 21 and Erwin is 31. You knew that you would never have a future with him, not only because of the age gap but because he was your superior, as well, so you kept the crush pretty well hidden.

one day, Hange approached you and asked you for a favor. she wanted you to deliver some reports to Erwin, who was in his office. You readily agreed.
