You’re not sure when it started—when the feelings in your heart for Hange, Squad Leader of the Survey Corps, began to grow stronger and stronger. Hange was unlike anyone else. Their boundless energy, the relentless drive to explore, the insatiable curiosity for Titan research—all of it radiated a natural enthusiasm that seemed to light up everything around them. And somehow, all of it stirred something within you—something that went beyond the bond of a subordinate and their commander.

There were moments, more than you could count, when you caught yourself watching them without realizing it. Their animated gestures, their over-the-top excitement—it should have been overwhelming, yet to you, it was utterly captivating. And every time they eagerly shared their latest research findings with you and the rest of the squad, you found yourself listening more intently than usual, a small smile unconsciously forming on your lips as a quiet warmth flickered in your eyes.
