[Attack on Titan] Liar

☆、Episode05. Funeral song

?*

"I believe that everyone will go to their own destination after death."

"But... if it were me, I would probably be in hell."

snow.

The snow is overwhelming, and looking around, the world can only see a piece of pure white.

She walked on the snow step by step, leaving a series of footprints behind her. The snow flew in the air and landed on her body. Although she was tightly wrapped in clothes, in this pure white, a figure appeared slightly Appears thin.

Olivia put her hand next to her mouth, and the hot air she exhaled gave her a little warmth. She glanced ahead, as if there was still a long way to go.

She still walked forward alone, the streets where there were not many people were getting more and more remote, and the snow was getting thicker and thicker. She lowered her head and looked at her boots that were stuck in the snow again, and she smiled helplessly.

Until she heard a familiar voice behind her: "...what are you doing?"

"Why did I meet you again?" Olivia's face became more helpless, "Then how about helping the leader."

Levi, who had already stretched out his hand to give her a hand, turned dark. He glanced at his hand and then took it back: "Find out what you want."

"... What a man who can't be said." She sighed softly, while carefully pulling out her feet, shaking the snow in the boots, and then looked at the person standing aside who was obviously waiting for him, "Why? Is it still coming out in heavy snow?"

"This should be what I want to ask you." Levi's face was still not very good, and he didn't know if it was because of the offending sentence earlier, "I'm on vacation today."

"I remember that it's not been a month since your last vacation." Olivia wrapped her hands around herself, it was so cold, "Then let's go together, we should go somewhere."

This road, this weather is still chosen, and sure enough, they are all here.

She exhaled, watched the white mist gradually spread in the air, and looked at the place in front of her.

—the cemetery.

Olivia quietly stared at this snow-covered land, everything was pure white, and there was only death.

Levi took the lead, and she followed behind her step by step. At this time, the world was terribly quiet, and only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

She saw him standing still in front of a tombstone, glanced at it briefly, there were many names on it, this place is a public cemetery, many people had to huddle together in one place to rest, and even many people couldn't even bury their bones here .

He was half-kneeling in front of a tombstone, rubbing the names on it lightly with his fingers, and she knew who he was watching. His former partners in the underground street, Isabella Magnolia and Fran Church, died in the end. In the giant's hand, she had never seen his expression like this, plainly sad, lonely and desolate.

Time seemed to stand still.

Olivia suddenly didn't have the courage to continue watching him. She felt sad that he was so empty and lifeless. Could it be that the expression on her face was also as desperate as his at that time?

She knelt slowly and finally knelt down on a tombstone next to her, staring at the name on it. She had already typed out a lot of words when she came here, but suddenly she couldn't even say a word, she just felt her throat was blocked.

Slowly took out paper and matches from her pocket, a gleam of fire danced in her hand, the paper was slowly burning in front of her face, black smoke floated in the air, a bit choking, but she just covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from coughing. The sound, as if afraid of disturbing someone's sleep.

"Hey, old man," she said suddenly, "I think my latest painting has improved again, but if it's you, you probably have to be picky again."

Olivia took out a thicker stack of paper from her arms again, took out a match and lit it: "This is for my father and uncle. You promised to bring it for me, so it should be fulfilled."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression seemed to be crying or smiling in the black smoke, she whispered softly: "If you meet me again, don't waste your extra kindness."

The flames danced and devoured, and the snowflakes fluttered and fluttered. The flames became smaller and smaller, until finally they were just dots of ashes on the snow-white ground.

She looked at the little gray things and the smoke in the air, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Maybe it was just smoked.

On the way back, I only heard their footsteps deep and shallow, and their breathing intertwined with each other, probably because sometimes, language seems so weak.

The road is very long, as if it has never reached the end.

Until such a quiet world is finally broken by the playful laughter of children in the distance, they are playing snowball fights with each other, their faces are innocent and innocent, just like snow.

"Do you think," he stopped and said suddenly, "if it is a god, wouldn't it be sad for death?"

This was the first time he asked her proactively.

"So, what do you think death is?" After a pause, she continued, "Is it the end? Is it redemption? Or is it abandoned?"

"If you are really sad," Olivia said slowly, "just be happy for them. No matter who they are, death is just a peaceful sleep. Everyone will find their own destination."

"...Do you really think so?" Levi turned his head, and the eyes of the two met for a moment, "But you..."

"Because I know that if they are alive, it will be more difficult. Do you have the heart? Let the people you care about so much struggle to live in the world? Maybe they will experience the same sadness as you?"

He didn't answer.

"They just went to that quiet paradise first," she stared at him, and the children's fights became louder and louder, "I believe that there must be destiny in everything, and their words will definitely go to my lord ah."

It doesn't matter if it's the old man who adopted her, uncle John Judd, father Jason Judd, or the two companions whom this person cares so much about.

"Everyone will have that day, you too, and me too." A reassuring smile gradually emerged on her face, "Although if it were me, I might only be able to go to hell, but this is also my destination."

Never before has Levi felt like she's saying this seriously, like it's her faith.

However, this does not mean that she is telling the truth.

"Let me tell you my answer, even if you are not a god, you can not mourn death."

"If you can't accept it, it's better to let it go," she said.

In the end, he still couldn't agree with her words.

Flipping through the latest newspaper, the investigative corps column, this time there are just countless names, densely packed, corresponding to different death lists.

She wrote: A funeral song, may you all sleep well.

After that, she didn't appear in front of him even until the survey corps came out of the wall.

Seeing a life disappearing before his eyes again, Levi thought, he still can't seem to suppress his sadness.

"Levi, turn around and go back." Erwin Smith suddenly rode his horse to his side and said, "A large number of giants are moving north...that's the direction of the city wall."

……what?

"Do you think they can break through the walls?"

"Maybe it has already been breached." Erwin's voice had a rare tremor, "Everyone, turn around!"

... Are you kidding me?

The city wall that has not been breached for more than 100 years, is it now... But he knows how accurate this person's judgment is, but he cannot accept this possibility. If this thing really happens, it will not only be a disaster for the entire survey corps to be wiped out!

For some reason, the face of the little girl with blond hair and brown eyes flashed in my mind.

"If you want to keep the Survey Corps, maybe you can count on the city walls being invaded by giants."

Is it a coincidence to say this?

"If I die, probably hell will be my destination."

She really didn't mind going back to death's arms.

The Wall Maria is where the Wall Maria is printed.

Olivia Judd.

Olivia. Gaarder.

He couldn't accept the death of others calmly.

and so--

Levi rode quickly, looking ahead.

That guy, don't die.
