You half-expected Levi to storm out of his quarters and confront the Czar, Hange, Commander Erwin or even Admiral Zackly. He doesn 't. For the first day or two, you await the storm while letting him digest things.

It doesn 't come.

Instead, he gets quiet.

Levi shuts down and it 's easily the most heart-breaking thing you 've ever witnessed in your life.

He doesn 't say anything. He still guards you loyally, but there 's a defeated aura to him that you can 't help him shrug.

At first, you leave him be, figuring he just needs time to come to grips with everything.

He doesn 't touch you anymore and as time passes, you start fearing he might not ever again. How could he without smelling that scent that makes him pine for a home he never had, only now knowing the truth behind why that is?
