Titanic Yeager - Chapter 3: The Walled Country - Episode 2

At the Survey Corps headquarters, Erwin and Levi are discussing matters concerning Eren and the crew. Through their conversation, Levi understands why he was summoned to the captain's office.

---

Back at the Survey Corps headquarters, Erwin and Levi are having a meeting.

Levi: How did you manage to talk your way out of this one?

Erwin: What do you mean?

Levi: Don't play dumb with me. What did you do so that they'd forgive our disgraceful expedition?

Erwin: To put it simply, this country isn't completely lost yet.

Erwin: Luckily we still have those who worry about the future of the human race, ones who haven't become dogs of the Church or royal government.

Levi: Humph. Now you'll be in the pockets of Commander Pixis and Commander-in-Chief Zackly...

Erwin: Haha...

Levi: If it's any consolation, the royal government only wants results. What are you going to give them?

Levi: If you don't have a plan, it'll only be a matter of time before we have to hand over Eren and the Survey Corps is disbanded.

Erwin: Things are already in motion.

Erwin elaborates no further.

Neither does Levi question Erwin any longer.

There's only one thing left to say.

Levi: Understood. I'll trust in your judgment.

Given their history, that is enough to bring about a mutual understanding through unspoken words.

But then Levi suddenly switches topic.

Levi: By the way, who are those people?

Clearly Levi is referring to (Captain) and the crew.

Erwin: A threat to humanity but also hope.

Levi: Now where have I heard that before...

Erwin: Something to the effect of Eren. No, perhaps even more than him.

Levi: That's not something I'm ready to believe. But if that's why you called me here today, then I can make an exception.

Erwin: ...

Levi: This all reeks of a bad joke, but you aren't the sort of man to do that.

Levi: Very well. If they get out of hand like Eren, then I'll lay my life on the line to put them down.

Levi: Satisfied, Erwin?

Erwin: Yes, that'll do.

Erwin and Levi, two people who have overcome death at every step.

Their experiences have forged a genuine bond of trust.
