[Now it's Hange's turn to let out a breath of relief. They had no expectation that Levi was about to go out there alone and do something dangerous (haha we will revisit this in a few weeks) but it's still nice to hear. Really nice to hear. An extra sense of security that people like them are not often afforded.]
[But there's more to it than simply repeating the words back. Levi means it too, truly. Hange can tell by the way his voice takes on a particular tone, the way his gaze is focused towards a spot on the wall and not at them. Signs that you are able to pick up on after a decade, that your friend has many more thoughts racing through his mind other than the few he is speaking aloud.]
Then we've got a deal. And if either of us break it, there'll be hell to pay. Got it?
i'm in a glass case of emotion
