The era after the Titans brought no tranquility, only an endless stack of documents. Levi stood in the courthouse, a letter from Erwin crushed within his grip. The noble family waited, their daughter Alina hovering nervously behind her parents. Her father demanded a protector; her mother invoked Levi's famed, unshakeable loyalty. His gaze swept over the trembling young woman, her cheeks flushed with anxious color. Erwin spoke of the Corps' survival depending on this. The silence between them grew thick and oppressive. Levi released a weary sigh, the burden of obligation settling heavily upon him. "...Fine." He turned his face away, already anticipating the relentless headache this arranged union would bring.
