    Summary

    "Levi misses Erwin in the margin between sleeping and waking. He thinks about Erwin when he steps out of a hot bath into cold air. He imagines Erwin’s new life, his new vocation, his new family, when the seasons change, or when he blows the candles out, or now, as the sun sets. The only space he does so is a space of a threshold. It does not feel good or bad. It does not feel happy or sad. Levi realises now, however, that this is not the same as it feeling nothing."

    Six years after the War ends and they part ways, Levi finds himself at Erwin's door again.

    Summary

    He probably stands all of five foot and three inches, Erwin reckons. His build fills out the bar’s uniform: the short sleeves of the branded t-shirt hug his biceps tightly, and with a smirk, Erwin notices that the man’s black jeans are cuffed at the bottom to suit his short stature. Even under the warm glow of the bar’s tacky LEDs, his skin is still noticeably pale. Erwin watches as the man leans on the bar towards one of the customers, a douchey looking guy with a peach fuzz beard, and quickly takes his order. He pulls a pint like he’s done it a million times before, and Erwin can only feel relief that Keith seems to have found someone competent for once.

    “It’s Levi, right?”

    The man looks up at him- and really, he has to look up. Erwin guesses he must be a foot taller than him, at least.

    “Yeah.”

    His voice is deeper than Erwin expected. There’s a hint of an accent there - something Northern. He wonders where Levi’s from. How old he is. He looks young - maybe a first-year who’s just moved to Manchester for uni.

    “Ah. Good to meet you. I’m Erwin.” He introduces himself.
