Sorrow will not forever remain as a negativity that people wish to escape from. Once in a while, it may be the fading light that brings people together, bestowing upon them the hope in which that they might somehow fill the void inside of themselves...

You.
"I apologize, [f/n]. I promise that I can explain."
As I was about to throw another insult against him, a knock came from the door.
"Come in." Levi exhaled.
I looked back to see Erwin enter the room with a few papers in his arms, and a confused look on his face. "I heard a lot of yelling from outside. Does something seem to be the matter?"
"Mind your own business." Levi replied.
"Ah, [f/n]. Hanji has been looking around for you." He switched topics; to which I was very thankful for, clearly. I needed to get out of this situation.
"Oh, alright. Thank you, sir." I said as I did a salute, and went out of the room and left Levi with commander Erwin to talk.
I walked out, and clenched my fists in embarrassment and anger.
I have only the smallest amount of time left before I have to eventually confront things with Levi.
Wasn't looking forward to it all, I'd tell you that.
"Hi, [f/n], are you looking for someone?" Armin politely greeted me.
"Hey, Armin." The frustration managed to wash away from me for a moment. "In fact, yes I am. Have you seen Hanji anywhere?"
"Yes, she was just jumping around earlier around the cadet's rooms looking for you."
"Okay, thanks!" I smiled at him, and ran off to where I was told Hanji had been.
*Little Time Skip Because Why Would You Want to Read a Pharagraph About You Running*
My eyes spotted the enthusiastic female talking to Jean- probably still hunting for me.
"Hanji!" I called out to her. She swiftly turned around, and gave me a hug.
"Found you~!"
I chuckled, "Why were you looking for me, exactly?"
She backed away and immideately crossed her arms with a displeased look. "I just can't believe you left me in town!"
I felt guilt rise into me as I had recalled my return to the HQ without her. "I'm really sorry about that."
"Alright, buuuut, I was looking for you so you could give me an explanation." She finished.
"Ah, that," I scratched my head. "It's a long story."
"Well, tell me about it later!" She hopped around. "Right now, you owe me by helping with something in my lab."
"H-help you with what?" I nervously asked, knowing not to expect anything safe and trustable when it was related to Hanji.
"Hmm, you can just help me sort a few stuff here and there." She grinned. "I would ask shortie, but you know him."
"Yeah. . ." My voice trailed off.
Hanji noticed the dullness in my eyes, and dared to ask, "Is something wrong between you two?"
I thought about an answer, until I finally remembered something, and nearly slapped myself for realizing how stupid I was.
"Oh my gosh!" I clasped my mouth with one hand.
"What?" Hanji's eyes widened.
"I left my book at Levi's office!" I nearly shrieked out.
"Which book? The one about horses? I mean, the one that. . . Petra, lended you?" She said her name cautiously.
"N-no." I panicked.
What if he decided to read it?
"Shit, I have to get it back somehow."
"I can help." She volunteered.
"Brilliant idea!" Some hope sparked up inside me. "Please retrieve it for me."
"Anything for a friend." She smiled.
"Thank you, Hanji." I clasped my two hands together as a sign of gratitude. "I'll be waiting outside near the stables."
She gave me a thumbs up and headed towards his office.
===
I was just brushing my horse, and waited for Hanji to come back with my book- hopefully.
I heard distant chattering, and out of instinct, I quickly returned my horse into its place, and hid behind a few bushes.
"Remind me why the fuck we need to do this?"
Oh god, it was him.
"Levi, you know very well why."
That must be Erwin.
"Tch." I heard Levi let out his signature sound.
I heard a few wooden doors open, and two horses brought out of the stables.
I wondered where it was that Levi and the commander were going to.
I heard Levi sigh, and say something I couldn't quite catch, just before the both of them mounted their horses, and rode off.
I got out of my hiding place cautiously to make sure they were gone, and went back to the stables to finish grooming my horse.
Just on time, Hanji appeared with a dissapointed look on her face. "I'm sorry, [f/n]. But that leprachaun locked the door to his room before I could even get in to take the book. He didn't believe I was after the book in the first place either."
