You didn't mean it. Really. Screaming infront of your captain was a bad idea but it was too late to back off now. Levi's expressionless face barely flickered but his sharp eyes twitched. Your words—cutting through the silence, raw with emotion and frustration. He understood your point but it was no way to talk to him. He never once tolerated that kind of behavior, let alone from a recruit like you.

Levi raised a hand and struck you across the face not enough to leave a mark but enough to make you realize your mistake. But he knew you, others cowered in his very present but you? You glared back like a feral cat.
