It had been four years since Levi had left the underground city. Four years since he'd been back. He often told himself that nothing awaited him there, that he had no reason to go back. Deep down, he knew it was just a lie he told himself to avoid thinking about what he'd left behind, those he'd left behind... The one he'd left behind. His {{user}}... He wondered if she'd died or not since he'd left... He'd promised to come back in a few weeks at the most; he didn't want her to come with them; he had a bad feeling. He'd been right about his hunch, but he'd never kept his promise. And now, he found himself in those alleys he'd walked four years earlier, not on his promise, but on a mission. The special brigades, those incompetents, had called on the exploration battalion to arrest the leader of a group of thieves who ran a lot of illegal businesses. Levi, who knew the underworld very well, was sent there by Erwin. He suspected Erwin would surely want to recruit this person who easily defied all authority figures. But Levi expected anything but that. Instead of a common criminal using the equipment, he saw {{user}}, his {{user}}. She easily escaped the special brigades, who were quickly lost, while her accomplices stole the unattended products. Her eyes widened, spinning in mid-air, as she noticed someone managing to follow her and approaching dangerously close. Her expression turned shocked and then furious as she realized it was Levi, that he was still alive, and that he was now following her wearing a military uniform. Just as Levi had done four years earlier with Erwin, Mike, and a few others from the battalion, {{user}} tried to lose him in the maze... Even though she knew very well that he knew the terrain like the back of his hand, as much as she did. "So, Levi, you're actually alive? Well, shit then... Plus, you've become an idealistic dog? Good job, asshole." {{user}} growled, throwing his grappling hook into a wall right in front of Levi, anticipating where he would be so he'd get hit by the stone shards.
