At the old castle, you were hanging out with Eren, Gunther and Erd. You were brushing Nova while chatting with Eren about his results with his transformation. Gunther and Erd were sitting by drinking out of their mugs, watching the two of you, but mainly Eren.

Gunther: Looks like they couldn't find the culprit. Any thoughts on who did it?

Erd shook his head.

Gunther: What about you (Y/n)?

(Y/n): I don't know. Maybe someone just really hated the Titans. They probably fulfilled their need for vengeance but this made a setback for our research.

Gunther: Yea but it must've been some one really crazy guy to do it or they probably had nothing to lose.

(Y/n): I can't tell them what I know. From what Erwin said, there can be possible traitors in the Survey Corps.

Erd took a sip and sighed.

Erd: I'm more worried about the upcoming induction ceremony. How many new members are going to join us? Or more like how crazy are they to join us?

Gunther: Hey Eren, are there any people in your class who'd join us?

Eren: There are some. No, there were some. I don't know about it now.

(Y/n): Mikasa and Armin are definitely joining since you're here. I wonder who else would join.

You stopped brushing Nova and gave her an apple to eat. You looked at the sky.

(Y/n): I miss my friends.

The last time you saw any of them was at the attack at Trost. You'd seen Mikasa and Armin but it was at the trial and you didn't get to interact with them.

(Y/n): I don't know who's still alive or dead. And if they were to be alive. Who would join the Survey Corps? And if they did, how long would they stay alive?

You thought about how scared everyone was during the invasion. Majority of them had never seen a Titan and they probably never want to see one again.

You heard the sound of hooves approaching the stables. You turned to look who it was and saw it was Levi with another scout.

Scout: Attention!

You and the others stood at attention waiting for word. Levi looked at all of you and spoke.

Levi: Get ready to leave, we're going on a patrol.

Everyone: Yes, sir!

Eren: Good morning, Captain Levi!

You were going to head inside for your gear but Levi stopped you.

Levi: You're not going. Erwin wants you with him for the induction ceremony. *looks at Eren* Listen, never stray away more than two horses length from me. The only reason you're not locked up is because I'm watching you.

(Y/n)/Eren: Yes, sir!

Levi: Go get a move on.

You watched Eren, Gunther and Erd get ready for the patrol and mounted his horses. Eren looked at you and waved and you waved back. You took a deep breath and got on Nova. You rode for Erwin's office.

Once you arrive at the outside of the building, you already see Erwin with a couple of scouts like Hange, Petra and Miche.

Hange: Hey (Y/n), over here!

You came to a halt and dismounted your horse. Nova ran to the nearest stable where you knew she'd come when you needed her.

Petra: Aren't you going to go get your horse?
