He tried to reason with Levi, that he can help cleaning, but the death glare was enough to shut him up. Levi had forced him to sit in a chair, which he dusted off beforehand, in the kitchen. For some time Erwin silently watches Levi. He was amazed how fast this man can be. His mind wanders off and he glances around in hopes that some memories get triggered. Something is being in the back of his mind, but he can't picture anything.
An uneasy feeling forces him to stand up and get a break from thinking. He looks around for Levi, but he was occupied with getting the dust out. So he decides to go out into the backyard. It looks like a wild jungle, but he finds a nice spot under a tree and sits down to state at the sky and the building that is supposed to be his home.
"I lived here hm? With my parents? I wonder." His head raus yet the tree trunk and halfway dozing he drifts into a dreamlike memory. Unnoticed tears start to form in his eyes to eventually roll down his cheeks.

Levi was busy cleaning and didn't desire any distractions. When he was in cleaning mode, nothing got to him. It wasn't that big of a house so it only took a few hours to complete.
"Ah, perfect."
He smiled and looked around, usually Erwin would complement his work. But as his eyes searched around the house, Erwin was no where to be found. He pulled down the cloth and let it hand around his neck.
"Erwin?"
He searched around the house, looking for any single of Erwin. One of the rooms had a window that gave a view to the backyard. He walked over and looked out at a figure amongst the trees. It was Erwin for sure.
Letting out a sigh of relief, he headed outside into the overgrown garden.
"Erwin?"
He said as he got closer to the man. He noticed his face was wet and as he took a closer look, he saw that he had been crying. Levi bent his knees to get down by his level and looked up at him.
"Erwin, what's wrong. Your cheeks are wet."
He put his hand on Erwin's more larger hand and stroked it with his thumb.
"Erwin, are you ok?"
He asked again, wondering if he started to remember something.
