Levi begins to notice Erwin leaving HQ alone and not returning until the dead of night. Slow-burn, pre-show Eruri.

Erwin will be the next commander in a very short time; Levi has lost everything that mattered to him. Their lives are changing; they are heading together toward that landscape painted with mysteries that is on the other side of the walls. The problem will arise when those changes, by reviving old memories, make their minds tortured by past, guilt and fear waver in front of the uncertain. Perhaps, what they need to move forward is to know they can trust someone else.What they don't know is that, in order to build that trust, they will need to undress themselves body and soul before the other, doing so to face the unexpected chain of events that will turn their expectations and dreams upside down.Because only a living heart can fully feel the freedom that awaits them at the end of the battle. *** Eruri, Pre-SNK, Post-ACWNR. A story about how the bond of trust, respect, admiration and devotion between Erwin and Levi was born during the war against titans. Canon Divergence!
