doing fine, he's just still unconscious," he informs me, but wasn't as concerned. "They managed to treat his wound, before we could lose him. He's gonna be alright."

The news gave me somewhat relief, when a hand rests upon my shoulder with a firm grip.

"It's nice to see a familiar face," Their voice exclaims, as Hanji comes into view. "Anyway, can I borrow you for only a few moments?"

With a nod, I bid the two young soldiers following behind Hanji.

Once we were out of earshot, she threw her arms around me,almost losing my balance, I stumble a few steps back. Registering what was happening, my arms slowly return the warm embrace, burying my face into their shoulder feeling this sense of comfort from a comrade.

"I'm so glad you're alright," Her voice broke, as I was taken back. "When you were abducted, you scared me......I thought I lost you."

Not even realising how much Hanji cared, it made me feel much more alive.

"I'm okay Hanji.......I'm here," I assure her, feeling more motherly at her touch. Pulling away after a moment, a stray tear rolls down their cheek before straightening themselves up. "Besides, you can't get rid of me that easily, m'kay?"

We both share a smile, before Hanji clears their throat.

Judging by the expression, that shifts upon their teary face, she seemed more serious. Knowing something else was up, she seemed rather troubled and disconcerted. "Alright back to business....sorry, lost my composure," She shifts their glasses. "Remember that request you asked, before Wall Rose?"

Trying to recall that requests, I hum in response.

"Well.......we're organizing to check on Ragako village....." She informs me, her tone grew more serious. Her tone lowers to only between us, "....I'm not sure your hunch is correct, but we'll try and find some lead.......in finding Miche."

"Thank you, Hanji,"
