crimson, his crimson lifeblood, paints the murky water a muddy brownish - red as they swim && swim && swim. the coolness of the river assuages his various wounds && burns, but he’s not present enough to focus on it. he’s drifting, not on the currents of the water: on the waves of consciousness. he has to be. why else would he be seeing two commanders?
his right eye sees him; crisp, clean, bright. WHOLE. blue eyes, bright smile. freedom. his left eye sees them; bleary, unfocused, panicked. ‘ levi, wake up. levi! can you hear me, levi?! ’
levi. levi! LEVI!!
that’s it, he thinks as the rocky shore presses into his back. it has to be that awkward in - between period. the time that decides if a man is going to LIVE or DIE.
&& levi wants to LIVE.
“ … han … ge … ”
