[ erwin thinks it's for the best levi wasn't there, though. he saw enough when erwin died, he doesn't need a secondary sight of the arm loss hanging over him too.
and because he knows levi would have heard him say he could be replaced. he could, he knows that for a fact, but levi didn't need to hear that either.
he's too focused on the now to think about it though, and he's shaking hard when levi's arms wrap around him. he clutches at one of them instinctively, tucking in against his neck and breathing raggedly against him.
it's not all right. it's not, but hearing levi say it is still nice. there's panic and anxiety ramping up in the back of his head, stronger than he's ever felt before, and he can feel his skin moving in a way that makes him feel like he's going to vomit even more.
his reactions are still quick at least when the horns start to grow right out of his scalp, because he's able to draw his head back before they impale levi. he lets go of levi's arm to grope at them blindly, the pain in his skull agonizing, and despite everything that's happened to them here, he's astounded that this new thing is taking place. ]
What—
[ it's grated out and hardly sounds like him at all. ]
