Levi nervously paced, getting glared at by Christa and Zeke. Armin and Erwin watched with curiosity, wondering what had him worked up.

"He's in your personality." Armin pointed out. "Why are you worrying?"

Levi huffed, "Cause he's obsessive and murderous."

"Reminds me of someone."

Erwin widened his eyes at the boy's sassy remark, and Zeke chuckled through his gag. The bleeding had stopped, but the gash still stung. Levi kicked his leg, earning a grunt of pain.

Levi glared at Armin. "I'm not that bad."

Everyone in the room gave Levi a sarcastic look. The raven crossed his arms, annoyed that even his own colleagues called him out on his obsession. Armin began to silently count on his fingers.

"What are you doing?" Erwin chortled.

"Counting all the people Levi killed for Eren." Armin chuckled, beginning to list them. "Sasha, Mikasa, Girsha..."

Erwin laughed and joined in, "Marco, Annie, Ymir..."

"Hey, Ymir was Armin!" Levi argued back.

Armin shrugged, "She died from the car accident, not my fault."

Christa screamed and thrashed trying to attack Armin, who just shot her an unimpressed look.

Levi continued, "And Carla shot Marco, not me."

Armin rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall, balancing on his heels. He let out a stressed sigh.

"This island better be nice, cause this stress is giving me a migraine." Armin growled.

Levi looked out the window, watching for Eren. "It's a black market island. Not the best, but hard for Eren to escape."

A truck screeched outside, sending a rush of adrenaline though Levi. The raven thought back to Eren's aggressiveness before when he was in his threatening personality, and a shiver went down his spine. A grin stretched across his features as Eren stepped out, Hange at his mercy behind a knife.

Jean and Connie had their hands up in surrender, hoping that Eren wouldn't hurt Hange. The teen guided Hange inside before anyone noticed them, and Hange's pair followed him inside.

"Hange is with him. Be ready." Levi commanded as he passed to reach the door.

However, before he reached out to the knob, the door flung open. Stormy irises met a gray-gold gaze. Hange immediately spotted Christa, tied up and gagged in the corner.

"Mon amour," Eren purred with a menacing aura drowning the room.

Eren shoved Hange towards Armin and ordered, "Watch her, Arlert."

Levi raised his brow at how spot on Eren was, from his expressions to his speech mannerisms. Eren was a complete replica of Levi.

The teen made his way to Levi, scuffing his shoes. His arm snaked around the raven protectively, and his other hand slid up the back of his head.

"So," Eren monotoned, suddenly yanking Levi's dark locks back, "Armin means nothing?"

Armin paused, "What, wait? When did I become apart of the conversation?"

Erwin helped Armin round up Hange and her pair. The two had them under watch with loaded pistols, but Armin wasn't paying much attention to them. Eren shot Armin a murderous glare, silencing the blond.

Levi grunted in pain as Eren's arm tightened around his torso and his grab on the raven's hair pulled his head further back, exposing his neck completely. Armin and Erwin kept their eyes on Hange's trio and the prisoners, scared to look at Levi and set Eren off.
