That afternoon, after making sure your son is sound asleep in his crib beside the hearth, you found Levi in the balcony, leaning on the balustrade with two parchments in hand. But his eyes weren't on the letter, they were gazing up at the orange afternoon sky as the sun slowly bid its farewell.
"Levi," you called, breaking him away from his thoughts, blinking his eyes that were reflecting the afternoon sky as he turned to look at you before you walked up to him and stood beside him. "What's that?"
"A letter from the Commander of the Scout Regiment," he said, handing you one of the parchments.
You knew your brother will become the Commander sooner than later, and his status as the highest ranking official of the Survey Corps made you realize that he's a step further away from you. He had always been hard to reach, even when you were kids.
As you took the parchment, your eyes trailed on the other letter but instead of saying anything, you averted your eyes to look at the one Levi handed you. Reading its short but precise content, you can almost hear Erwin saying it.
"You got suspended?" You asked in surprise and Levi nodded.
Honestly he was surprised too. Suspending humanity's strongest soldier from duty is like dismissing a hundred elite soldiers from duty. The impact it would pose, it's like taking away one of the wings of freedom that the Survey Corps has, rendering it flightless.
