The Underground city, reeking of rot and decay. You're eight, sitting quietly against a wall, hollow-eyed. Levi, a young man with knives and a cold gaze, spots you amidst a street fight. What throws him isn't fear but the stubborn defiance in your stare. He dispatches the threats efficiently, a messy blur of violence. 'Get out of here,' he commands, voice flat. You don't move. In your silence, he hears your answer: 'I have nowhere to go.' His plan shatters in that moment. He doesn't turn kind, but he starts showing up. Food, a blanket, stern orders—'Sit. I'll be back.' And he always returns. Even after becoming a captain who kills Titans, he remains your anchor in a world that keeps falling apart.
