forehead, "Don't give me that!" before swiping his rifle, locking back on Erwin. "You're nothing but a traitor! I ought to kill you right here, and now! None of the higher-ups will fault me!"

"Do as your conscience dictates," Erwin simply replies, accepting his fate no matter what path he took. "My post is yours....the female titan must not escape. Deployment is through Peer, and Beirer is in Command of Provisions. Work with them closely. Do whatever is required to ensure she doesn't --"

Nile tries to stop him from speaking, until Erwin finally quietens down.

"Do.....do you really believe....." Nile stares at the Commander, with such disbelief. "...this is for the good of us all?"

Erwin nods, "I have faith it's a step forward,"

My eyes meet Nile's conflicted and hesitant expression, as he soon sighs lowering his rifle slowly and steadily. He was rather in deep thought for a moment, knowing he was in a tight spot.

"Everyone, lower your rifles!" He orders his men, following his orders they lay their weapons down. "Place this man under arrest."

"Sir!"

"Deploy all troops immediately!" he further orders. "As of now.....focus on evacuation."

"Yes sir!"

All soldiers began heading down towards where the main battle was, and to find citizens in need of desperate help. Turning to Levi for a brief moment, he meets my eyes trying to bear what we have to endure for now.

"Wonder if we would get cuffed?" I quietly assume, but he nudges my shoulder slightly. 

"Tch, wouldn't dream being confined," he utters quietly.

"Levi, Akira....for now, stay here...." Erwin orders, turning to both of us. My eyes meet Erwin's briefly, when he gives me a slight look, also referring to make my move whenever I can. "A pointless death wouldn't suit both of you."

Levi's eyes harden warily, "No, I doubt it would...." cautiously eyeing Erwin. "....anymore than it suits anyone else."

"Yes, Commander," I simply reply, giving him a small discreet nod.
