Beyond Worlds

A conversation & Planning

Amelia wasted no time in making them feel at ease, preparing a simple meal and offering them warm blankets and comfortable cushions to rest upon.

After the meal, they gathered around a map of the city, plotting their next steps with meticulous precision. Erwin's strategic mind and Levi's keen intuition proved to be invaluable assets as they formulated a plan to unravel the mysteries of their unexpected journey.

But even as they delved into the intricacies of their predicament, a new sense of optimism pervaded the air. For in the warmth of Amelia's home, Erwin and Levi knew that no matter the challenges they faced, they would face them together.

As Amelia retired to her room to sleep, Erwin and Levi found themselves alone in the quiet of her apartment, the only sounds the faint hum of the city outside.

Levi broke the silence first, his voice low and contemplative. "Well, Erwin, this is quite the mess we've found ourselves in."

Erwin nodded in agreement, his brow furrowed in thought. "Indeed, Levi. It seems we've been thrust into a reality entirely unlike our own."

Levi leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his dark hair. "And what do you make of it, Erwin? This world, it's so... different."

Erwin steepled his fingers, his mind racing with possibilities. "It's certainly a puzzle, Levi. But one thing is clear: we must find a way back to our own reality. The fate of humanity may depend on it."

Levi's gaze hardened with determination. "Agreed. But how do we even begin to unravel this mystery? We don't even know how we ended up here in the first place."

Erwin tapped his chin thoughtfully, his mind working through the possibilities. "We'll start by gathering information. We need to learn as much as we can about this world, its people, its history. There must be clues that can lead us to the answers we seek. And when Amelia's friend will be back, she might give us more information about our predicament."

Levi nodded, his eyes narrowing with resolve. "And what about Amelia? What do you make of her?"

Erwin's expression softened with empathy. "There's something about her... a sense of warmth and kindness that's palpable."

Levi regarded Erwin with a knowing look, sensing the depth of his companion's thoughts. "You seem taken with her," he observed, his tone neutral but probing.

Erwin's gaze drifted to the floor for a moment before returning to meet Levi's eyes. "I find her intriguing," he admitted, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "There's a certain... magnetism to her that I can't quite explain."

Levi grunted in response, his expression unreadable as he absorbed Erwin's words. "And what about you?" Erwin inquired, turning the conversation back to his companion. "What are your thoughts on Amelia?"

Levi paused for a moment, considering his response carefully. "She's... different," he replied cryptically, his voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty. "But in a good way."

Erwin nodded, sensing the depth of Levi's feelings even if they remained unspoken. "I see," he murmured, a sense of understanding passing between them.

As Erwin and Levi delved deeper into their discussion, they began to outline their initial plans with meticulous precision, focusing on gathering information and understanding the world they found themselves in. Here are some of the key strategies they decided to pursue first: 

Research and inverstigation: Recognizing that knowledge was their most valuable asset, Erwin proposed that they divide their efforts to gather as much information as possible about the world they now inhabited. Levi agreed, suggesting that they start by scouring libraries, archives, and databases for any records that might shed light on their situation. Erwin, then, suggested that they integrate themselves into society to better understand its workings. They would observe daily life, customs, and interactions, while also blending in as much as possible to avoid drawing unwanted attention. Levi, always adept at blending into the shadows, agreed, emphasizing the importance of discretion in their endeavors.

They would also seek out Amelia 's guidance, considering her knowledge of the world and her unwavering support thus far.

Levi emphasized the need to identify any anomalies or inconsistencies that might provide clues to their situation. They would investigate any strange occurrences, unusual phenomena, or discrepancies between this world and their own, using them as potential leads in their search for answers.

Lastly, Erwin stressed the importance of being prepared for any eventuality. They would continue to train rigorously, honing their skills and preparing for any challenges they might face.

With their plans laid out, Erwin and Levi felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination. As they prepared to embark on their journey, they knew that the road ahead would be fraught with challenges and uncertainty.

After a lengthy discussion about their plans for the future, Erwin and Levi found themselves contemplating their next steps. With Amelia resting in her room, they decided to take advantage of the opportunity to explore the world they had left behind—the world of Attack on Titan.

Quietly slipping away to a secluded corner of the apartment, Erwin and Levi settled in front of the laptop, their eyes fixed on the screen as they began to watch the remaining episodes of the first season. As they delved deeper into the story, they found themselves engrossed in the familiar tale of struggle and survival, their emotions ranging from excitement to apprehension as they relived their past experiences.

They watched in silence as the events of Season 1 unfolded before them, the intensity of the story leaving them both spellbound.

As they reached the heartbreaking moment of Levi's squad's death, Erwin and Levi couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow wash over them. They watched with heavy hearts as their comrades fell in battle, their sacrifices serving as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of their world.

"It's never easy to watch," Erwin murmured, his voice laced with a hint of sadness. "But their sacrifices won't be forgotten."

Levi nodded in agreement, his expression somber. "Yeah. They were good soldiers, all of them."

As they continued to watch, the revelation of the Female Titan's true identity left them both stunned. They exchanged a glance of disbelief, their minds racing as they processed the implications of this shocking revelation.

"I didn't see that coming," Erwin admitted, his voice filled with astonishment. "It changes everything." Levi remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on the screen as he contemplated the implications of this revelation. "Yeah. We'll need to reassess our strategy moving forward."

As they finished watching Season 1, Erwin and Levi found themselves filled with a renewed sense of determination.  "Now that we have insight into what's to come, we can change the course of events. We can prevent unnecessary losses and alter the outcome."

Levi nodded in agreement, a sense of purpose burning in his eyes. "Yeah, we'll need to be strategic. With the knowledge we have, we can avoid some of the tragedies that will occurred."

As the night wore on, Erwin and Levi decided to call it a night, agreeing that they had absorbed enough information for the day. They exchanged a glance, silently acknowledging their decision to keep their plans to continue watching the show from Amelia for the time being. With a sense of resolution, they bid each other goodnight and retreated to their respective rooms.

However, despite their best efforts to settle in for the night, Levi found himself unable to shake off the restlessness that plagued him. Tossing and turning in bed, he eventually conceded defeat and quietly slipped out of his room, careful not to wake Amelia or Erwin.

Making his way to the kitchen, Levi poured himself a glass of water, the cool liquid offering some relief from the stifling silence of the apartment. As he sipped his drink, he found his thoughts drifting back to the events of the day, the revelations from the show still fresh in his mind.

Lost in thought, Levi couldn't help but feel a sense of unease gnawing at him. The knowledge of what lay ahead weighed heavily on his mind, and he couldn't shake the feeling of responsibility that came with it.

As he stood alone in the kitchen, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight filtering through the window, Levi resolved to do whatever it took to change the course of events and prevent the tragedies of their past from repeating themselves.
