Hanji's POV

I didn't ask to go outside for a while. But today of all days, I was allowed to go outside. Levi escorted me out with handcuffs, of course. He covered my chained hands with some sort of green cape with a picture of a pair of wings. I've noticed it was the same symbol on his uniform. It's quite a beautiful picture to look at.

He takes me outside, and I could feel the breeze of the wind on my skin. He takes me around the castle, showing me outside. He doesn't talk much about it, but the fields of flowers were beautiful, as it was backed by a forest. I've noticed this castle has not been maintained for a while. Moss grew on the stone walls, and it made me realize that this place has been a part of their history. Something they had of their own. 

Nothing here spoke of Marley or Eldians. It was just a castle where they made their HQ. Levi held me by my arm as I wanted to stray far from the path and towards the fields of flowers.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"What? I can't see the flowers? From where I am, there's no view like this there. At least let me take a flower. I need something else to change my prison room." He stared at me with that cold stare before letting go of my arm. "Thank you," I say, walking down to the field, feeling my back shiver. I don't plan on running... with how they've been treating me... I wouldn't mind being here as long as they continue treating us well.

Knelt on the ground, I sniffed one of the flowers, smiling at it. Behind me, I hear footsteps, and I see him come back to me. He watches me as I took my time in the fields. Once I was done, he helped me up to my feet and escorted me back to the castle.

"Assistant Chief Hanji Zoe?"

I turned to see one of my Eldian crewmates. He looks better than the last time I've seen him. Before, I could see his ribs. Now, it's barely showing. 

"You're alive and well..." He says, smiling. "We didn't want to believe that you were being taken care of... but I'm glad you're well." I turned to Levi, seeing him not budge. He was keeping his word by keeping my people safe. I can trust him. "What are you doing out here? Are they releasing us?"

Before I could speak, Levi stepped in. "No, we're not. And I think that's enough chatter. Let's go." Levi escorted me back to my room... and before he left... I don't know why, but I gave him a small kiss on his cheek. That must've ruined things because he didn't utter another word.

*   *   *

I wake up the next morning, seeing something different in the room. With my glasses on, I see what it was... and I began to question my loyalty. Levi is the only one with the key to my room, so I know a stranger did not waltz in and gave me the exact flowers I was smelling yesterday. Levi... left them for me. I can't fall for him... he was an enemy of mine. But should I betray the one person I'm falling for? Or should I betray Marley?
