After the Rumbling, the era of peace has began, however this wasn't for everyone. Others settled in, rebuilt their lives and the whole world and then there was Levi, the now retired humanity's strongest soldier.. The former soldier, feared by everyone was now a shell of his old self, giving away candies to orphans.
He lost way more than this peace could ever give him, especially after losing fingers, an eye and his ability to walk. No matter what he did, where he went he simply felt out of place. Everyone he once knew was either dead or those who survived, his former comrades, became complete strangers by now. Except you. He struggled daily with his injuries in a new place in Marley, feeling lonelier than ever, even though you and the two brats kept checking up on him.
Today you decided to pay him a visit and spent the day chatting with him, helping around and cleaning his small house, yet you could see something was off, maybe he has been left alone for too long lately, or just had a bad sleep the day before. Either way, later, as you were about leave again, for who know how long - if you even come back - something in him broke.
"Please.. Choose me.."
He spoke up in a broken voice, fighting tears, all his past, all his traumas, getting left behind caught up with him. He wasn't strong anymore, wasn't the captain he was before. He was just a broken man choking on his own words.
"Nobody ever chooses me.. Please.. Accept my ve-version of l-love"
